Challenges in the Transition from Supply Chain 4.0 to Supply Chain 5.0

This paper mainly intends to discuss the significant barriers faced by current industrial systems in transitional to Supply Chain 5.0 from Supply Chain 4.0. A systemic literature review methodology was conducted for highlighting top ten barriers which would be the most significantly challenging for an existing Supply Chain 4.0 industry to embrace but are also critical to transition to a Supply Chain 5.0. Barriers to Supply Chain 5.0 transition are only paradigms of the Industry 5.0. The concept of a Supply Chain 5.0 is still in the budding stages of an idea and requires monumental amount of research, innovation, technology and industrial strategy along with improvements in terms of socio-economic and sustainable impacts. Nevertheless, this paper gives valuable insights to researchers and industrialists alike by exploring ideas of Industry 5.0 focusing on supply chain perspectives required to support it to develop into the implementation phase from its preceding version.
