Synchronized barriers for circular supply chains in industry 3.5/industry 4.0 transition for sustainable resource management

Abstract: Transition from Industry 30 to Industry 40, in other words Industry 35 stage, and moving to a circular economy are two significant concepts for organizations that need to make wholesale alterations to their current systems In order to stay competitive, both these transitions need to follow sustainable resource management and digital transformation principles However, there are barriers to these changes that organizations should consider Both Industry 40 transition, in other words Industry 35, and circularity transition require great efforts to deal with these barriers; in the current environment, organizations need to deal with these barriers simultaneously for more sustainable resource management This study focuses in particular on circular supply chains in the Industry 35 stage There are some studies that suggest barriers to Industry 40 and circular supply chains separately, none of these studies consider them together From this point of view, this study contributes to existing literature by presenting synchronized barriers that integrate circular supply chain and Industry 40 barriers Firstly, pillars of circular supply chains in Industry 40 are explained; synchronized barriers are then presented A decision-making method, Fuzzy Analytical Network Process, is used to prioritize the synchronized barriers, with theoretical and practical implications proposed according to the result of the implementation
