Barriers
1Lack of technical information and capabilityIncrease in cost due to additional requirement of resources to make up for technical incapabilityReduction in quality due to lack of technical superiority in the productMay have effect on technological safety equipment'sLack of technical knowledge enhancementMay have effect on technical delivery systems
2Covid-19-related health and safety concernsWill lead to increased cost due to health and safety regulations Health and safety guidelines will be more stringent May hinder delivery satisfaction due to safety concerns
3Lack of positive response from government upon offering assistance  Affect conditions due to lack of positive response from government  
4Government imposed restrictionsIncrease cost due to delays in manufacturing because of restrictionsMay affect quality of short shelf-life materials and productsRestrictions help to improve safety of individuals Delayed delivery due to restrictions
5Increased demand of existing productsReduce cost via economies of scale (per unit cost will reduce on high demand)  Will help to generate more data for knowledge enhancement and R&DDelivery performance may be hampered due to more volume load on supply chain
6Lack of resource and infrastructureIncrease in cost due to additional requirement of resources to make up for the in-house unavailabilityReduction in quality due to lack of adequate resourcesDeteriorated working conditions because of lack of infrastructure resourcesHampers technology enhancement and innovationDelivery performance will be hampered due to non-adequate logistics resources
7Setbacks in logistics servicesIncreased cost to rectify setbacks   Delayed delivery due to setbacks
8Financial constraintsFinancial constraint will force to keep low total costFinancial constraints will cause trade-offs with quality of materials, processes and productsMay not be able to afford better working environment and safety measuresWill cause hindrance in updating technological assets 
9Complexity in repurposing product and infrastructureCost associated with repurposing product and infrastructurerepurposing may not result in desired quality level Repurposing can help enhancing technological capabilityMay hamper delivery performance due to complexity in repurposing for proper supply chain
10Supply and demand issueCost could increase due to inventory and/or shortages   Will disrupt logistics due to uncertain demand and supply
