Supply Chain Management System (SCMS) poses as one of the essential aspects for distributing component, especially in contemporary Automotive Industries. In this line, the tracing process of the automotive part is one of the critical features required in this industry, such as for automotive product improvement and its forensic. Early research reported that the tracing component feature is prone to component counterfeit that could cause financial loss and even loss of life. The recent studies emphasized that new development technology, commonly renowned as Blockchain is believed to have the ability to perform tracing automotive component and minimize the counterfeit. However, the feature of Blockchain technology is to track automotive component found in the literature mostly. In this frame, the biggest challenge is to obtain the evidence of Blockchain Technology implementation for automotive part component tracking. Therefore, this report paper is a part of design science research stages striving to perform the simulation test by using business process simulation method of Blockchain implementation for tracing automotive components. The focus group discussion involved a manufacturer automotive component, several distributors of automotive components, and two of the big three car manufacturers in the country. The purpose is to understand a comprehensive supply chain management process in the area of automotive component distribution. During the test by using simulation test model, revealed several advantages and challenges. Ultimately, Blockchain technology is potentially implemented for tracing automotive component and the merging combination system between SCMS and Blockchain Technology that contributes to developing new robust SCMS.

Purpose: The point of departure in this article is that the principles that underpin entrepreneurial networking also apply to the establishment of supply chain relationships. The theoretical base for the need for entrepreneurial networking can be found in Kirzner's theory of entrepreneurship that argued that entrepreneurs identify and act upon profit opportunities that exist in disequilibrium in order to equilibrate the economy. Problem investigated: This article explores the possibility of implementing entrepreneurial networking in supply chain relationships in the automotive component industry. Methodology: Kirzner's theory is used as a theoretical base to support the case for the development of supply chain relationships. The literature with regard to supply chain management and its relevance to entrepreneurial networking is first dealt with. The case for implementing entrepreneurial networking to strengthen supply chain relationships in the automotive component industry in South Africa is then presented.Findings: The findings of this article indicate that the principles underlying entrepreneurial networking could be applied to supply chain relationships in the automotive component industry in South Africa. The argument is mainly based on the sustainability and profitability potential of entrepreneurial networking and the similarities that exist between entrepreneurial networking and supply chain management relationships. Originality: This research is original as it explores the possibility that the principles that underpin entrepreneurial networking also apply to the establishment of supply chain relationships in the automotive component industry. Furthermore, there is a need for published research in South Africa on supply chain management, particularly relationships within the supply chain.Conclusion: Based on the sustainability and profitability potential of entrepreneurial networking and the similarities that exist between entrepreneurial networking and supply chain relationships, the principles underlying entrepreneurial networking can be applied to supply chain relationships in the automotive component industry in South Africa. The unique challenges facing this industry in the current global market further strengthen the case for the implementation of entrepreneurial networking.

Background: Effective supply chain management is a challenge in every sector, but in healthcare there is added complexity and risk as a compromised supply chain in healthcare can directly impact patient safety and health outcomes. One potential solution for improving security, integrity, data provenance, and functionality of the health supply chain is blockchain technology. Objectives: Provide an overview of the opportunities and challenges associated with blockchain adoption and deployment for the health supply chain, with a focus on the pharmaceutical supply, medical device and supplies, Internet of Healthy Things (IoHT), and public health sectors. Methods: A narrative review was conducted of the academic literature, grey literature, and industry publications, in addition to identifying and characterizing select stakeholders engaged in exploring blockchain solutions for the health supply chain. Results: Critical challenges in protecting the integrity of the health supply chain appear well suited for adoption of blockchain technology. Use cases are emerging, including using blockchain to combat counterfeit medicines, securing medical devices, optimizing functionality of IoHT, and improving the public health supply chain. Despite these clear opportunities, most blockchain initiatives remain in proof-of-concept or pilot phase. Conclusion: Blockchain technology has the unrealized promise to help improve the health supply chain, but further study, evaluation and alignment with policy mechanisms is needed.
