Abstract(s)
A crescente competitividade na indústria têxtil cria a necessidade de aumentar a
capacidade de resposta por parte das empresas aos requisitos de um mercado cada vez
mais específico onde é necessária uma validação e acompanhamento constante de modo
a garantir o cumprimento de tais requisitos.
Cada vez mais é necessário que as empresas apostem na melhoria dos processos e da sua
capacidade de resposta, nomeadamente no decorrer das cadeias de abastecimento,
possibilitando não só reduzir custos, mas também aperfeiçoar a orientação para o cliente,
para com isto se destacarem no mercado atual.
As tecnologias de registo distribuído são emergentes no contexto mundial, contudo, a
sua aplicação já está presente nas mais diversas áreas. O foco desta dissertação é a sua
aplicação nas cadeias de abastecimento da indústria têxtil.
Estas tecnologias são apresentadas como potenciadoras de todos os processos das
cadeias de abastecimento, nomeadamente no que diz respeito a segurança,
rastreabilidade, transparência e desintermediação.
Esta dissertação tem como objetivo aprofundar o conhecimento já existente no universo
onde se insere, não só através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, mas também através do
desenvolvimento de uma prova de conceito tendo por base a introdução de um sistema
baseado nas tecnologias distribuídas, nomeadamente a blockchain.
O trabalho desenvolvido assenta num estudo de caso que permitiu testar uma prova de
conceito para uma aplicação do que foi abordado na componente teórica. Nesta prova de
conceito é desenvolvido, ainda que de uma forma teórica, um sistema blockchain que
tem como objetivo aumentar a segurança, transparência e rastreabilidade da cadeia de
abastecimento da empresa em estudo.
Com esta aplicação foi possível concluir que a blockchain permite alcançar uma maior
rastreabilidade, confiança nos registos e segurança em toda a cadeia de abastecimento.
A aplicação de um sistema como o que foi descrito vem trazer uma mudança na forma de
fornecimento atual, nomeadamente numa área que requer um controlo de qualidade
meticuloso, assim como prazos de fornecimento certos e exigências especificas Embora este sistema compreenda um elevado investimento quer em infraestruturas quer
em formação, esta dissertação permite concluir que, quando devidamente utilizado,
garante um controlo e uma coordenação que qualquer indústria exige, em particular
neste estudo, a indústria têxtil.
The growing competitiveness in the textile industry creates the need to increase the responsiveness of companies to the requirements of an increasingly specific market where validation and constant monitoring is necessary to guarantee compliance with such requirements. It is increasingly necessary for companies to focus on improving processes and their ability to respond, particularly in supply chains, making it possible not only to reduce costs, but also to improve customer orientation, to stand out in the current market. Distributed ledger technologies are emerging all around the globe, however, their application is already present in the most diverse areas. The focus of this dissertation is the application of these technologies in the textile industry supply chains. These technologies are presented as potentiators of all supply chain processes, namely regarding security, traceability, transparency, and disintermediation. This dissertation aims to deepen the existing knowledge in the universe where it is inserted, not only through bibliographic research, but also through the development of a proof of concept based on the introduction of a system based on distributed technologies, namely the blockchain. The bibliographic research is divided into three major stages. First, a theoretical approach to distributed ledger technologies is made, that is, what are DLTs, what are the currently existing distributed ledger technologies, their characteristics and finally, how they differ from one another. Secondly, the supply chains are described, that is, their definition, what are their main characteristics and what are their weaknesses. Finally, based on the weaknesses and characteristics of supply chains, an integration of distributed ledger technologies in supply chains is studied, exploring the risks, advantages, and barriers to this integration. As mentioned earlier, as a complement to this bibliographic research, a case study was presented that allowed the development of a proof of concept for an application of what was covered in the theoretical component. In this proof of concept, a blockchain system is developed, albeit in a non-technical way, which aims to increase the security, transparency and traceability of the company's supply chain under study. With this application, it was possible to conclude that the blockchain allows, throughout the supply chain, greater traceability, trust in records and security. The application of a system such as the one described, brings forward a change in the current form of supply, namely in an area that requires meticulous quality control as well as certain delivery deadlines and specific requirements. Although this system involves a high investment both in infrastructure and in training, this dissertation allows us to conclude that, when properly used, it guarantees a control and coordination that any industry requires, particularly in this study, the textile industry.
