Integrating Supply Chain by Applying Blockchain Technology from Coursera

By the end of this project, you will be able to work “hands-on” with a Blockchain demo platform and apply a supply chain use case on a simple Blockchain as a service (BaaS) platform. Throughout the project, you will be able to identify the basic principles of Blockchain technology and the difference between blockchain and a database. You will be able to define the basic attributes for implementing your own Blockchain application. You will also be aware of the questions you should ask yourself to achieve a successful supply chain integration through blockchain application. Finally, you will implement a blockchain application prototype using SIMBA Chain for enhanced supply chain management. This project will provide you with the know-how of integrating your supply chain through blockchain application. It will also provide you with the knowledge base needed to understand your supply chain processes and decide when blockchain is the right choice for achieving better supply chain management. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
