Abstract

Although there is any clear definition of the
concept of block chain; it can be defined as “the as a chain of information
blocks, which data for each activity in the process are stored in an encrypted
format, periodically, chronologically and that each block contains the
information of the previous block in succession” (Mattila, 2016,p.6;
Tian, 2016) At the beginning,
it is used in order to ensure the security of the electronic currency bitcoin
system, the block chain technology, has been begun to use not only various
financial areas but also different various areas nowadays (Hackius
& Petersen, 2017,p.5). One of these areas is the supply chains management
because of its insufficient knowledge and nontransparent processes. To solve
the imbalance caused by the supply chain, to ensure transparency, sustainable
traceability and security increase in the entire chain from suppliers to
customers (Badzar, 2016); blockchain
technology is used thought supply chain management. The main purpose of this
study is to provide information on blockchain technology and its applications
to develop management processes at the logistics area. For this purpose, to
understand the benefits of blockchain technologies on the supply chain
management in theoretically; literature review from sources such as
international literature, books, magazines, theses, Internet resources etc. was
made.

Blok Zincir Teknolojisi ve Tedarik Zinciri Yönetimindeki Uygulamaları

Abstract

Net bir tanımı bulunmamakla birlikte blok zincir kavramını;
“süreçte yapılan her bir faaliyete ilişkin verilerin, şifreli bir biçimde,
belirli aralıklarla ve kronolojik olarak kaydedildiği ve her bir bloğun bir
önceki bloğun bilgilerini de içerdiği bilgi bloklarının art arda gelerek
oluşturduğu zincir” olarak tanımlamak mümkündür (Mattila,
2016,s.6-7; Tian, 2016). Elektronik para
birimi Bitcoin sisteminin güvenliğini sağlamak amacıyla ortaya konan blok
zincir teknolojisi, son zamanlarda finansal alanların dışında çeşitli alanlarda
da yer bulmaya başlamıştır (Hackius
& Petersen, 2017,s.5). Bunlardan bir
tanesi de yetersiz bilgiye sahip olan ve şeffaf olmayan tedarik zinciri yönetim
süreçlerdir. Tedarik zincirinin neden olduğu dengesizliği çözmesi,
tedarikçilerden müşterilere kadar tüm zincirde şeffaflığın, sürdürülebilir
izlenebilirliğin ve güvenliğin artırılmasını sağlaması (Badzar, 2016)  nedeniyle blok zinciri teknolojisinin;
tedarik zinciri yönetimine de oldukça pozitif bir katkı sağlayacağı
düşünülmektedir (Hackius
& Petersen, 2017).  Bu çalışmanın temel amacı blok
zincir teknolojisi ve bu teknolojinin tedarik zinciri yönetim alanındaki
uygulamaları hakkında bilgi sunmak; bu yolla tedarik zinciri süreçlerine
yönelik araştırmalara katkı sağlamaktır. Bu amaçla uluslararası literatürde bu
konuda kitaplar, dergiler, tezler, internet kaynakları gibi kaynaklardan
literatür incelemesi yapılarak, blok zincir teknolojilerinin tedarik zinciri
yönetim uygulamalarına sunacağı faydalar teorik açıdan açıklanmıştır.
