Question
Which of the following best describes the key benefit of
blockchain technology in supply chain management?Solution
Blockchain technology offers the key benefit of providing an immutable ledger that cannot be altered once recorded. In supply chain management, this means that every transaction or movement of goods is permanently recorded on the blockchain and cannot be tampered with. This immutability ensures data integrity and transparency across the entire supply chain, allowing stakeholders to track the history of products and verify the authenticity of data without relying on a single point of control. By using blockchain, all parties involved in the supply chain—from manufacturers to retailers—can trust the shared record, reducing fraud, errors, and discrepancies. The transparency provided by blockchain also improves trust among parties in the supply chain, as every step of a product's journey can be traced and verified in real-time. This helps ensure that products meet safety and quality standards and helps resolve disputes efficiently. Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
- A) Blockchain uses a decentralized, distributed network rather than a centralized server. The decentralized nature of blockchain contributes to its security and reliability.
- C) While blockchain reduces the need for intermediaries, it does not reduce the need for encryption. Encryption remains crucial for securing transactions and ensuring privacy.
- D) Blockchain can reduce the need for intermediaries, but its main benefit is its immutability and transparency, not faster transactions.
- E) While blockchain can provide some level of privacy through cryptographic techniques, its main strength is in ensuring transparency and data integrity rather than enhancing privacy.
