Abstract

Supply chain visibility and resilience - cotermed as visilience - have emerged as major areas requiring significant improvement. Practitioners have put forward supply chain mapping as one of the effective strategies for supporting supply chain visilience. Since supply chain mapping is a complex process, involving various entities, it is essential to determine how supply chain mapping could be achieved. In this chapter, we put forward blockchain-based supply chain management as a major enabler of supply chain mapping. We also argue that blockchain-based supply chain management will help a firm to attain effective supply chain mapping, which will improve its overall visilience. A few of the issues related to blockchain adoption have also been highlighted. This chapter offers some background and insights to researchers, students, and practitioners.
