Examining Dimensions and Critical Success Factors of Supply Chains Based on the Blockchain and Internet of Things (B-IoT)

The technological revolution in the field of logistics and supply chain brings a large volume of innovations and new challenges. Using today’s powerful and high-speed digital technologies, customers expect faster and on-time ordering and delivery of goods. As a result, organizations are always looking to implement today’s new and transformative technologies to provide services faster and more efficiently. “Internet of Things” and “Blockchain” are expected innovations that will transform the complex supply chain into an integrated and empowered process. IoT innovations such as sensor data and RFID (radio identification technology) provide information to equip us with features such as real-time tracking and alerts to improve decision-making. Blockchain can also increase data security and transparency through decentralized data management. Such data can be turned into critical information to help improve business operations and processes. Therefore, the successful implementation of a supply chain based on these two valuable technologies can be an effective way to improve supply chain processes and help business growth in all supply chain processes. In this research, it has tried to identify and evaluate the most important critical success factors for the implementation of this smart supply chain. Correct understanding and prioritization of these factors can be an effective guide for the powerful implementation of a smart supply chain based on the Internet of Things and Blockchain.
