Analysis of threats creating logistics barriers in the global supply chain

Analiza zagrożeń tworzących bariery logistyczne w globalnym łańcuchu dostaw

The purpose of this study is to present current research and deliver a new description of a logistic barrier, helping to assess challenges and sustain a flow in the supply chain. The resilience of the global supply chains against logistics barriers is a key factor for strategic management in conditions of the global economy. Moreover, preserving the resilience of the organizations participating in the supply chain is a prerequisite of Industry 5.0. During a global pandemic, operations in the global supply chain have met an unusual risk. However, since that time, a multitude of other risk factors have arisen. Analysis of many research reports reveals a negative effect of present factors like wars, political crises and continuity of operations of a global supply chain. The outcome of this study concludes that spatial distribution of manufacturing and distributive operations revealed a particular vulnerability of supply chains. Many areas of global supply chains suffer repetitive disturbances in everyday operations. Such cases may cause the creation of logistic barriers, posing a further challenge for logistic operators.

Celem tego opracowania jest prezentacja aktualnych badań i przedstawienie na nowo pojęcia bariery logistycznej, pomagającego ocenić wyzwania i utrzymać przepływ w łańcuchu dostaw. Odporność globalnych łańcuchów dostaw na bariery logistyczne jest kluczowym czynnikiem zarządzania strategicznego w warunkach gospodarki światowej. Ponadto zachowanie odporności organizacji uczestniczących w łańcuchu dostaw jest warunkiem wstępnym wdrażania Przemysłu 5.0. Podczas pandemii operacje w globalnym łańcuchu dostaw zostały narażone na niespotykane dotąd ryzyko. Od tego czasu pojawiło się także wiele innych czynników ryzyka. Analiza raportów badawczych ujawnia negatywny wpływ obecnych czynników, takich jak wojny czy kryzysy polityczne, na ciągłość operacji globalnego łańcucha dostaw. Przeprowadzona analiza prowadzi do wniosku, że przestrzenne rozmieszczenie operacji produkcyjnych i dystrybucyjnych ujawnia szczególną podatność łańcuchów dostaw na zakłócenia. Tworząc bariery logistyczne, stanowią one dodatkowe wyzwanie dla operatorów logistycznych.
