A Knowledge Sharing Framework for Green Supply Chain Management Based on Blockchain and Edge Computing

Abstract

Aiming at the problem of knowledge asymmetry in supply chain enterprises in green supply chain management, this paper proposes a decentralized knowledge sharing framework based on blockchain and edge computing technologies. The security and reliability of the knowledge sharing framework are guaranteed by the security encryption, non-tamperability of the blockchain. Edge computing that provides edge intelligence services is integrated into the framework to meet the needs of the blockchain for distributed networks. Firstly, the concept of open green supply chain is introduced, and the model of knowledge creation processes of green supply chain enterprises. Then, the application prospects of blockchain and edge computing technologies in green supply chain management are illustrated, and a green supply chain management knowledge sharing framework based on these two technologies is proposed. Finally, an automotive enterprise is taken as an example to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed green supply management knowledge sharing framework.
