What is the difference between blockchain and supply chain?

Blockchain is a decentralized data processing, and supply chain is the supply relationship between enterprises and the outside world to maintain normal operation. The application of blockchain in supply chain will play a subversive role.

Blockchain is a term in the information technology field. In essence, it is a * * * database, and the data or information stored has the characteristics of "unforgeability", "leaving marks all the way", "traceability", "openness and transparency" and "collective maintenance". Based on these characteristics, blockchain technology has laid a solid "trust" foundation and created a reliable "cooperation" mechanism, which has broad application prospects.

Supply chain refers to the network chain structure formed by upstream and downstream enterprises that participate in providing products or services to end users in the process of production and circulation.

Management method

Common methods of supply chain management include quick response (QR) and effective customer response (ECR).

Quick response (QR) means that in the face of a multi-variety and small-batch buyer's market, logistics enterprises have prepared all kinds of "elements" instead of "products", and can extract "elements" at the fastest speed when users make requests, and "assemble" them in time to provide the required services or products. QR is a supply chain management method developed by American textile and garment industry.
