This paper investigates the utilization of novel identity systems in supply chain management and expounds on the role of self-sovereign identities in establishing trust between the system's issuer, entity, and verifier. The paper examines the technical issues underlying blockchain operation in supply chain systems. Recent research is surveyed to showcase the potential of blockchain applications in promoting transparency, traceability, and productivity throughout the manufacturing and distribution processes. The paper proposes the integration of self-sovereign identity into the supply chain to enhance privacy and enable greater transparency in the end-to-end tracking of goods. Using hyperledger caliper, the paper analyzes the performance of the blockchain, providing insights into the supply chain's functioning based on metrics such as transaction and read throughput, latency and resource consumption. Finally, the paper outlines the challenges that are expected to arise in supply chain management.
