The research offers a systematic literature review of the adoption of blockchain technology in manufacturing. The systematic literature review (SLR) presented by this paper follows a method of creating clear research questions that probe the relevant studies available to extract and assess the synthesizing of the relevant data to answer the research questions. The review investigates articles that have enquired on the application of blockchain into the different industries and moreover whether their finds can apply in the use of blockchain into the manufacturing industry. The findings of this SLR show that blockchain has been implemented in different manufacturing sections owing to its characteristics in handling, sharing, and processing data and records. A framework that addresses significant areas of future research on the topic is presented. Finally, the literature review lays the foundation for further studies on investigates the application of blockchain technology in manufacturing.
