Logistics management of medical organic cannabis traceability in digital supply chain

Abstract

The medicinal value of cannabis is gaining acceptance. However, there are disadvantages if they are used for improper purposes. Therefore, it is essential to have a system for monitoring, controlling, and regulating cannabis production activities so that they are not abused. This research aimed to achieve two main objectives. Firstly, it aimed to identify the key factors that affect the traceability of organic medical cannabis in the digital supply chain and establish how these factors are related. Secondly, was to create a framework for implementing traceability systems for medical organic cannabis in the digital supply chain. This research was divided into three distinct phases. The first phase identified the key success factors of medical organic cannabis traceability in the digital supply chain and recognized 14 factors affecting the traceability process using the CVI theory. The second phase determined the relationships and drivers of all fourteen factors using the fuzzy MICMAC theory. Lastly, it was intended to establish a framework for a medical organic cannabis traceability system in the digital supply chain. Using a random sampling technique, this study employed ten experts from three supply chain stakeholder groups: organic cannabis cultivators, producers, regulators and quality controllers, and dispensers. According to the result, the most important factor was System Reliability

however, this factor has low driving power and requires assistance from other factors. On the other hand, there were five factors that were independent and have high driving power to propel other factors to success: Harmonized Strategic Orientation, Standardization, Inter-organizational Collaboration, Government Regulations, and Customer Awareness. Regarding the medical organic cannabis traceability framework, it was determined that various technologies, such as blockchain and cloud systems, were required to increase security and flexibility in use. RFID, GPS, and GIS are the technologies that should be utilized in transportation. Implication of thesis: The research provided the theoretical CSF for MOCT, which included pharmacovigilance to guarantee drug safety. This CSF can be utilized in other herb-based medications and other applications, such as the transportation of hazardous materials. In practice, investors interested in the MOCT system can examine this framework and act while considering CSF. All supply chain stakeholders must initially seek alignment and cooperate with the implementation of the traceability system. The government should establish safety policies for herbal medications so that consumers can verify the origin of the product and issue MOCT guidelines.
