This is a great article outlining several cases where blockchains are being applied to solve supply chain issues ineffectively.
Yaron's assessment finds that
Key repudiation resistance is the only real compelling case where a blockchain is the right tool for the supply chain. This is not to say that there aren't valuable uses for blockchains within the context of more hyrid solutions.
"The block chain does some amazing things but accomplishing those goals comes at a very real cost. Byzantine attacks are a pain and require lots of resources to deal with. So if we don’t need to survive them then we don’t need the block chain. This article isn’t about saying the block chain is bad. It is about saying that we should use the right tool for the right problem. If your block chain application is based on off chain storage then there is a non-trivial probability that you may not actually need the block chain. It’s worth at least thinking about".
