Description:

  • Template(s) definitions for common Supply Chain scenarios

Purpose/Benefit:

  • Standardize the process of defining Smart Contracts for Supply Chain scenarios

Scope:

  • Supply chain overview
  • Types of supply chains (Food, Retail, Tech, Pharma, etc)
  • Relationships between participants in a supply chain (e.g. Food: Farm, Producer, Distributor, Retailer, etc.)
  • Smart contract 101
  • Supply chain use cases for smart contracts
  • How can smart contracts be used to improve supply chain scenarios
  • use of data standards or formats
  • And how is it compatible with other systems? Interoperability is key.
  • Frameworks, consortiums, etc.
  • and more..
  • No labels

    Done, Uche. 

    All: Please start to update the scope and suggest your time availability to get on a phone call. Can someone take a lead to setup a call for this? Marco, Victor?

    Meeting notes from 6/20 discussion: 

    Supply Chain Contract Template Meeting Notes

    • Defining interactions, taxonomy, participants
    • Start with High level - types of smart contracts with supply chain. Then go to industry specific smart contracts (pharma, beverage, life science)
    • Its not system specific - hyperledger fabric or sawtooth - that’s implementation detail. This project seeks to capture the business logic - data model, state transitions, business logic is the smart contract implementing.
    • Create a spec for smart contract logic - what capabilities should the smart contract support. 
    • Project Transact will be announced shortly - integration points for blockchain with supply chain processes
    • Be more specific to particular supply chain sub-processes e.g. purchase orders, reconciliation, acceptance notices, etc. talking about how smart contracts deal with these sub-processes. 
    • Does what asset you monitor also has an implication on smart contract logic - it should be a nuance worth covering
    • One idea - group can review BiTA specs - https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5aa97ac8372b96325bb9ad66/t/5c7e8882f9619a98a55ec24d/1551796355748/BiTAS+Location+Component+Specification+v4.pdf (Dave to check if this is current or not) - and propose smart contracts that can handle state transitions with the events.
    • GS1 also has defined EPCIS for data models and state transitions, which could be used to build logic for smart contract template - https://www.gs1.org/sites/default/files/docs/epc/EPCIS-Standard-1.2-r-2016-09-29.pdf.
