Chang, S.E., Chen, Y., & Lu, M. (2019). Supply chain re-engineering using blockchain technology: a case of smart contract based tracking processes. Technological Forecasting & Social Change, 144, 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.techfore.2019.03.015 |  Full text

The first seven pages of the article are an overview of general information regarding blockchain, smart contracts, and supply chain logistics. Beginning on page 8 potential recommendations are offered; however, they are primarily generalist. The reason I note this article within the AB is what the authors intend to study is interesting. The paper does not act as a 'case' as it offers in the title. 

The intent of the paper is to address real-time tracking in supply chains to reduce the wait for confirmation of information. The aim of the study is to investigate an alternative private-chain to enhance transparency and distributed collaboration of the supply chain process to include: 1) investigating the feasibility of a blockchain-based tracking process; 2) establishing a blockchain-based business process re-engineering (BPR) framework; 3) evaluating the potential benefits and values of such framework; and 4) shedding light for creating blockchain-based applications in different industries. 

I consider this type of article as an "about" article. There are terms, ideas, and information relevant to the problem if you are interested in validating how you view the supply chain. That said, the details expected in a case are not available.
