Abstract
This paper aims to provide novel insights in the use of recent advances about non-fungible and Soulbound tokens, as they are a growing reality in the context of the DLT frame-work. In particular, this work discusses how these technological provisions can enable a renovated and strengthened role of the Internet of Everything concept in the complex processes of the Industry 5.0, where the social, societal, and technical dimensions merge into an irreducible applicative context. The potentialities of the approach are expressed by means of a simple but meaningful example on an industrial case study concerning the food supply chain

Using simulation to analyze supply chains
WSC '00: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulationSupply Chain management, the management of the flow of goods or services from materials stage to the end user, is a complex process because of the level of uncertainty at each stage of the supply chain. Computer simulation, because it can be applied to ...
Exploring symbiotic supply chains dynamics
AbstractSymbiotic Supply Chains – where the inputs of some members belonging to one supply chain are obtained using the waste generated by other companies in a different supply chain – represent a great opportunity for companies to move towards the ...
Highlights- The dynamics of symbiotic supply chains are explored.
- Closed analytical equations of the bullwhip effect are provided.

- Suggestions for managers are proposed.
An agent-based model of make-to-order supply chains
ICSI'10: Proceedings of the First international conference on Advances in Swarm Intelligence - Volume Part IIOne kind of important supply chains is make-to-order supply chains. This paper proposes a common agent-based model for the simulation of make-to-order supply chains. Based on the model, scholars can study the management of make-to-order supply chains ...
