Monitoring Value Chains of Organic Beverages

Abstract

The outflow of manufactured organic products needs to prevent damage to the goods. There are specifications of models of value networks with blockchain services for monitoring transactions. This paper general objective is to provide strategic models to monitor supply chains of organic beverages. The design of this network was based on the Design Science methodology, including the process of investigating the problem, proposing an artifact to tackle it, and validating its construction. A systematic literature review was made and strategic models were proposed to monitor networks with blockchain with validation by empiric evaluation and assessment with a selected company for a single case study. To construct the models, information obtained with the literature review was used, as well as information provided by the company via meetings and surveys. In the design, the e$^{3}$value editor tool of the e$^{3}$value framework was used. Three models were produced based on these scenarios: regional, national and international. The models were validated and positively assessed by the participating company, which answered a survey to assess the proposal according to their needs and the feasibility of implementing that technology.
