Abstract
Resilience and sustainability are becoming increasingly vital in modern society. To facilitate the realization of these concepts, a multitude of Industry 4.0 technologies are available to support decision-makers. This study offers a comprehensive exploration of Blockchain Technology (BCT) and its seamless integration into supply chains. Employing a Systematic Literature Network Analysis (SLNA), which combines bibliometric techniques with a traditional systematic literature review, we gain invaluable insights into the pivotal role of BCT in shaping resilient and sustainability-based supply chains. This research seeks to illuminate the transformative potential of BCT in contributing to a more environmentally conscious and resilient global economy. Our findings provide a thorough understanding of how theory is harnessed to assess and investigate this niche topic, highlighting BCT's potential to address key elements including supply chain design, supplier relationships, technology and information systems, inventory management, contingency and risk planning, triple bottom line considerations, corporate system dynamics, and geopolitical factors. The study summarizes the information proceeding towards a framework that answers how a resilient-sustainable supply chain can be created.
