Abstract Supply chain management has become an area of focus as organizations around the world work to leverage blockchain technology to increase supply chain visibility, productivity, and reliability. As a novel approach to innovation, this paper aims at assessing whether or not blockchain technology could help overcome problems that have attributed lack of consensus between SCM and its stakeholders including, inadequate information flow, complex logistics, ad inadequate inter-organizational trust. As such, using scientific data I investigate how innovations built on the blockchain enhance efficiency, contain costs, and create instant permanent transparency, including in the supply chain. The research methods include a literature search and analysis, calculations of blockchain benefits in relation to the most important SCM indicators: transaction time, cost cutting, and transparency of suppliers. From our research, it can be suggested that advanced use of blockchain results in improved efficiency by around 20-25% of OM costs, while the error rate will be decreased up to 30%. In addition, by enhancing the history of each product, blockchains decrease fraud rates in high-risk sectors, including the pharmaceutical marketplace, by a half. These findings emphasize the positive impact that blockchain implements to alter the supply chain by promoting trust between the chain’s participants and allowing for secure transfer of necessary information. This research helps to complete the existing literature by giving concrete information about blockchain’s efficiency in the real business environment which could be useful for those companies and government agencies which are aiming to implement blockchain-based solutions in supply chain management. Finally, the ethical issues and implications related to the practical realization of blockchain in SCM are highlighted and analyzed with the help of corresponding recommendations.
