This paper reviews the feasibility of the implementation of blockchain, autonomous systems, and ERP systems within a dairy supply chain to assess whether or not it is possible and how it can enhance the supply chain process. Utilizing secondary research, it is found that blockchain can be implemented with a theoretical model that is put forth in the paper. Autonomous systems on the other hand are proved to be far too difficult to implement due to the numerous conditional variables that would need to be considered for a universal automated system. Lastly, ERP has been already implemented within supply chains so the paper provides methods on how it can be enhanced by using remote devices and payment gateways to further streamline operations and enhance efficiency.
