ABSTRACT
The basis for application of new technologies in organizations is supported by the continuous
analysis of data and information from multiple sources. Blockchain is one of the new
technologies that, in association with the concepts and principles of Industry 4.0, could generate
gains and improvements. Much has been said about the potential of blockchain technology, its
benefits, and its disruptive impact in various areas, including supply chain management. In the
academic field, however, the development of this topic is in full swing, as a growing number of
scientific studies have been published without a theoretical convergence of their foundations,
concepts, and authors being noted. Thus, considering the initial stage of the scientific debate of
this object of analysis, this research aimed to understand the scenario of the adoption of
blockchain in supply chain management based on academic publications evidencing its
characteristics and benefits, through a systematic literature review. Due to profound analysis,
characteristics and benefits of its application on supply chain management as transparency,
confidence, information decentralization, and information security are disclosed in this study.
Keywords: blockchain; supply chain management; systematic literature review; benefits;
