A Systematic Literature Review of Sustainable Supply Chain Management using Block Chain Technology in Fashion Industries and Proposing ABC Framework

Abstract

Abstract: Indian Fashion industries using Blockchain in sustainable supply chain practices are still developing. The literature base is also significantly less in BT(Blockchain) using SSCM (Sustainable supply chain Management) fashion industries. To understand the literature clearly, the PRISMA technique is used to identify, screen, and include the related research concepts in the area of BT using SSCM fashion industries. The analysis of PRISMA gives the result of proposing the ABC framework shows significant factors involved in the A (adoption of Blockchain), B (the barriers during the implementation), and C (critical success factors) to be maintained to create a competitive advantage. The adoption of blockchain in SSCM has to be studied and involved through 1. Force Field Theory, and 2. When implementing the SSCM using BT, specific barriers have a concept of TOE framework, which includes (Technology, Organisation, and Environment) related to organizational performance. The performance factors should be identified to implement the factors in such a way as to get the maximum benefits out of it. The performance indicator factors are organizational, environmental, economic, information, and customer performance. After the implementation, the organization should maintain the factors effectively with the help of critical success factors such as top management support, financial constraints, supplier performance, customer acceptance, and Government regulations. This is the first paper that discusses the adoption, barriers, and challenges in implementing SSCM using BT in the fashion industries. Industry practitioners, academicians, and research scholars can use this paper as a guide to know the essential factors suggested by various eminent authors in BT and SSCM.
