Propuesta de un modelo de competitividad de la tecnología BlockChain como ventaja competitiva en una cadena de suministros orientada a los procesos informáticos seguros (trazabilidad, transparencia e inmutabilidad)

Abstract

This research work focuses on proposing a competitiveness model based on BlockChain technology in a supply chain oriented to secure IT processes (traceability, transparency and immutability), focusing on the production of medicinal plants in the parish of Susudel. The farmers of the “Luz y Sal” foundation, who are mostly elderly farmers, grow plants in greenhouses using conventional techniques, which is why this research proposes to implement BlockChain technology. The study evaluates specific indicators obtained from a literature review, as well as indicators proposed by the authors as shown in Table 3 and Table 4, in order to measure the behavior of the chain before and after the implementation of blockchain. For this purpose, Vensim PLE software and System Dynamics were used as tools for the creation of the competitiveness model. The model was validated using the case study of the “Luz y Sal” foundation, where it was demonstrated that the implementation of BlockChain significantly improved transparency and traceability in the supply chain. This technology optimized the transfer of information along the chain, which facilitated flexibility to respond to fluctuating demands. In addition, the immutability of records and the ability to trace products generated greater trust among stakeholders.
