Abstract

This paper examines the major challenges to Industry 5.0 (I5.0) implementation to drive resilience and agility in the manufacturing industry. A mixed-method design was utilized with a detailed literature review combined with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to designate and rank ten most vital barriers. The results show that the most serious obstacles are gaps in cybersecurity and standardization, financial, and unreadiness to be digitized. Sensitivity analysis proves the strength of the rankings in different strategic conditions. The findings are useful to managers and policymakers to focus on interventions and facilitate successful I5.0 implementation. These barriers require a concerted approach by technological innovation, the formulation of policies, and upskilling of the workforce. Stressing on the collaboration between industry stakeholders can speed up the process of adoption and reduce the risks of implementation. The next step of research ought to be dynamic frameworks capable of adapting to the changing I5.0 technologies and market trends that can be used to maintain a competitive edge.
