New Publication by Dr. Tan Describes how Blockchain Can Enable Halal Supply Chain

06 Jun 18

Dr. Tan is the lead author of an article describing the use of blockchain technology to enable the halal supply chain, published in the May-June 2018 issue of Supply Chain Management Review.

These three stages are critically important to ensuring traceability of the halal food products.
