Blockchain in the Supply Chain: Systematic Review of the Literature for a Performance Improvement Proposal Based on a Conceptual Framework

Blockchain offers innovative solutions with information flow that improves the supply chain. This research aimed to present an overview of how blockchain technology can improve supply chain performance with a focus on visibility, reliability, security, analysis, and risk management. A systematic literature review was carried out and the selection of 72 articles that met the inclusion criteria was made in the Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore with the use of the keywords "blockchain" and "supply chain performance," in the time frame from 2017 to 2022. Studies show that there is a gap in the investigation of this theme, so it is critical to build a conceptual framework for blockchain adoption in the supply chain. It is concluded that visibility, reliability, security, and risk management can improve the supply chain with blockchain deployment in conjunction with other digital technologies.
