Barriers to The Transition from Supply Chain 4.0 (SC4.0) To Supply Chain 5.0 (SC5.0)

Supply Chain 4.0 (SC4.0) is an enhanced account of the supply chain that consists of artificial intelligence, cloud, and data analysis, whereas Supply Chain 5.0 (SC5.0) is a visionary aspect of the supply chain to succeed SC4.0 by customizing consumer requirements by combining machine proficiency and human efforts. Irrespective of abundant growth in SC4.0 technologies, SC5.0 weighs on human interface with technological advancements for the betterment of supply chain activities, which in turn benefits society and reflects the importance of the concept of this research. The literature review and methodology provide further understanding of the subject by explaining software use on the surveys to accumulate responses based on automation, demand, societal requirements, and so on. Barriers to this transformation result in a clarification of the challenges that the world will face for the successful transformation from SC4.0 to SC5.0. Overall, this study focuses on providing various factors on the transition of SC4.0 to SC5.0 that could combine human brain and technology for improved results.
