Agile supply chains facilitate sustainability through higher effectiveness and lower wastage. Agile supply chain frameworks in extant literature are designed for static supply chains and high-granular data that are only available at fixed periods. With the increasing interest in the Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain technology for supply chain visibility and trust and the potential availability of fine-granular real-time data from related sensor networks, there is a need to reconsider existing agile supply chain frameworks. IoT and blockchain technology together reinforce the provision of trusted visibility that facilitates ease of tracking and tracing that is required in agile supply chains. We study existing agile supply chain frameworks and their characteristics – both positive and negative – and use this information to develop an agile supply chain framework that incorporates recent developments in IoT and blockchain technology.

敏捷的供应链通过提高效率和减少浪费来促进可持续性。现有文献中的敏捷供应链框架是为静态供应链和仅在固定时期可用的高粒度数据而设计的。随着人们对物联网（IoT）和区块链技术对供应链可见性和信任的兴趣日益浓厚，以及来自相关传感器网络的细粒度实时数据的潜在可用性，有必要重新考虑现有的敏捷供应链框架。物联网和区块链技术共同加强了可信可视性的提供，从而简化了敏捷供应链中所需的跟踪和追踪。
