Abstract

The purpose of this research is to propose a new hybrid system architecture, which is a solution for reducing and even avoiding the complexity and vulnerability of the whole supply chain. In this paper, we propose a conceptional model which introduces some features of decentralized system architecture based on blockchain technologies, such as new consensus mechanism and smart contract into a typical supply chain system so that defects of traditional centralized system will be solved and supply chain resilience can be improved. Furthermore, some fatal flaws of current blockchain system can be shored up in an IoT infrastructure environment which is consolidating supply chain resilience. Last but not lease, we identify some unsettled issues and drawbacks derived from the hybrid system architecture and indicate the solutions regarding these challenges.
