Analysis of threats creating logistics barriers in the global supply chain

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.
