Blockchain, Iot, and AI Technologies for Supply Chain Management

Supply chain management, often known as SCM, refers to the extensive variety of operations that are required to plan, monitor, and coordinate the movement of a product from its raw materials to its finished state in the most time- and money-efficient manner possible. How the supply chain is managed has an impact not only on the quality of the product and the service but also on the distribution, costs, and overall customer experience. Supply chain management is a massive undertaking that needs firms to reevaluate the method in which they operate their supply chains.

Blockchain, IoT, and AI Technologies for Supply Chain Management discusses the problems and difficulties that the facilitators of the supply chain confront, in addition to the possible solutions to such problems and difficulties. This book will be the only one of its kind to address the impact of COVID-19 on supply chain systems involving different stakeholders such as producers, dealers, and manufacturers and will provide a foundation for future research opportunities that will allow for the unrestricted expansion and prosperity of business. It will serve as a foundation for academics, scientists, and educationists interested in the use of modern technologies in the field of supply chain management, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain. In addition to those engaged in research, undergraduate and postgraduate students in higher education are also able to use this publication as a reference book. This book also presents a multifaceted perspective for the general public, including topics such as computer science, the food business, hotel management, fashion, medical, inventory management, and agricultural spheres.

供應鏈管理，通常稱為SCM，指的是規劃、監控和協調產品從原材料到最終成品的廣泛操作，以最節省時間和金錢的方式進行。供應鏈的管理方式不僅影響產品和服務的質量，還影響分銷、成本和整體客戶體驗。供應鏈管理是一項龐大的任務，需要企業重新評估其供應鏈運營方式。

《區塊鏈、物聯網和人工智能技術在供應鏈管理中的應用》討論了供應鏈管理者面臨的問題和困難，以及可能的解決方案。這本書將是唯一一本討論COVID-19對涉及生產商、經銷商和製造商等不同利益相關者的供應鏈系統的影響的書籍，並為未來的研究機會提供基礎，以實現業務的無限擴展和繁榮。它將為對供應鏈管理領域中現代技術（如物聯網、人工智能和區塊鏈）感興趣的學者、科學家和教育工作者提供基礎。除了從事研究的人士外，高等教育的本科生和研究生也可以將本書作為參考書。本書還為一般公眾提供了多方面的視角，包括計算機科學、食品業、酒店管理、時尚、醫療、庫存管理和農業領域等主題。
