Supply Chain Efficiency

Definition

Supply chain efficiency refers to the optimization of processes and resource utilization within a network that moves goods from raw materials to end consumers. This involves minimizing waste, reducing lead times, controlling costs, and improving the overall speed and reliability of operations across sourcing, manufacturing, logistics, and distribution. Blockchain technology significantly enhances supply chain efficiency by providing a shared, immutable ledger for all transactions and data exchanges, improving transparency and reducing administrative overhead. Real-time visibility and verifiable data facilitate quicker decision-making and better coordination among all participants, leading to streamlined operations. It optimizes resource flow and delivery.
