Optimization of Educational Supply Chain Management with Blockchain Technology

Abstract

Supply chain management (SCM) relies heavily on blockchain technology since it streamlines transactions, lowers costs and delays, and improves reliability. This study proposes a blockchain-based logistics system to enhance supply chain management in education. Using an analytic hierarchy process, it presents a criterion for measuring educational SCM capability. According to the UTAUT model, important variables include performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, and social influence. Anticipated benefits include improved SCM, increased scalability, enhanced transparency, and greater reliability. Blockchain technology increases the supply chain's reliability and enables synergistic effects by integrating databases. The study recommends big data analysis to boost the competitiveness of educational SCM. Hypotheses include the improvement of operational performance through SCM practices and blockchain implementation, as well as the influence of facilitating conditions on the intent to use blockchain.
