“…The case study research method and analysis confirm this leads to friction and an operationally inefficient border operation (Holmes, 2020). Interviews and archival data confirmed that recent changes to the UK border with the exit from the EU (Garcia-Lazaro et al , 2021) have reduced the operational efficiency of the SC, with increased disruption (Brady, 2021). SC resilience is impacted, and access to established cross-EU customs systems has been removed by UKG, with changes in policy, process and reversion to paper-based documentation:EU Exit has had a huge impact on cost, over-complicated processes, burdensome paperwork and duplication of official documents (Importer 3).…”

“…The case research and secondary data find a de-coupling of the SC resilience between UKG departments, the logistics company and the core business SC, with different proactive and reactive approaches (Elluru et al, 2019) and a combination of resilience capabilities (Castillo, 2022;Wieland and Durach, 2021) 17 method and analysis confirm this leads to friction and an operationally inefficient border operation (Holmes, 2020). Interviews and archival data confirmed that recent changes to the UK Border with the exit from the EU (Garcia-Lazaro et al, 2021) have reduced the operational efficiency of the supply chain, with increased disruption (Brady, 2021).

“…Friction and disruption at the UKG customs border (Holmes, 2020) cause downstream delays (Dolgui et al, 2018), affecting the performance and resilience of international SC (Gu et al, 2021). For UKG customs operations and UK imports, friction at the border caused by additional paperwork requirements (Brady, 2021) has been exacerbated by the UK's departure from the European Union (Garcia-Lazaro et al, 2021). UKG seeks to establish technology leadership in reducing disruption through the digital transformation of crossborder SC (Holmes, 2020).…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the effect of Industry 4.0 technology on resilience in established cross-border supply chain(s) (SC). Design/methodology/approach A literature review provides insight into the resilience capabilities of cross-border SC. The research uses a case study of operational international SC: the producers, importers, logistics companies and UK Government (UKG) departments. Semi-structured interviews determine the resilience capabilities and approaches of participants within cross-border SC and how implementing an Industry 4.0 Internet of Things (IoT) and capitals Distributed Ledger (blockchain) based technology platform changes SC resilience capabilities and approaches. Findings A blockchain-based platform introduces common assured data, reducing data duplication. When combined with IoT technology, the platform improves end-to-end SC visibility and information sharing. Industry 4.0 technology builds collaboration, trust, improved agility, adaptability and integration. It enables common resilience capabilities and approaches that reduce the de-coupling between government agencies and participants of cross-border SC. Research limitations/implications The case study presents challenges specific to UKG’s customs border operations; research needs to be repeated in different contexts to confirm findings are generalisable. Practical implications Operational SC and UKG customs and excise departments must align their resilience strategies to gain full advantage of Industry 4.0 technologies. Originality/value Case study research shows how Industry 4.0 technology reduces the de-coupling between the SC and UKG, enhancing common resilience capabilities within established cross-border operations. Improved information sharing and SC visibility provided by IoT and blockchain technologies support the development of resilience in established cross-border SC and enhance interactions with UKG at the customs border.

In this paper the author analyses the new relationship between the European Union and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Given the scope and complexity of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the intention was not to explain in detail all its aspects, but only the basic and most important provisions. First of all, those of the free trade agreement, but also in the areas where ties are being renewed, which would otherwise be interrupted by the withdrawal of the United Kingdom. Although it does not reflect the benefits of EU membership, the agreement certainly limits the negative consequences compared to the situation without it and provides much needed predictability and certainty, allowing Europe to leave Brexit behind and move on.
