Therefore this article mainly focuses on studying and concretely examining the challenges faced by businesses transitioning from I4.0 to I5.0 by providing case examples from the textile and apparel supply chain. After a detailed review of the current literature related to the I5.0 challenges the I5.0 challenges were listed in general. Then the fuzzy Decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory approach has adopted into the challenges to reveal causal interactions between them thus prioritizing the substantial challenges to be focused on to influence the entire textile and apparel supply chain. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
