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.

This study is aimed to explain the relationship between Human Resource Management (HRM) capabilities and Supply Chain Performance in the textile and apparel industry and to determine the mediating role of Process Innovation (PI), which improves supply chain processes in this relationship. Two research models were introduced in the study. Hypotheses belonging to research models have been developed. Structural equation modelling was applied to test the hypotheses. The sample area of the research consists of textile and apparel companies operating in Turkey. The research level is at the executive level. HRM capabilities significantly affect SC performance in the textile and apparel industry. In addition, it was concluded that PI has a full mediating effect on the HRM-SC performance relationship. It has been determined that PI applications contribute to increasing efficiency in supply chain management processes and performance and support the development of HRM capabilities.
