Risk assessment in an industry can help supply chain managers to choose effective decision of the problems. This research proposes a case study conducted on the leading food processing industry in southern region of India. In this paper, to analyze the barriers by using hybrid multi-criteria decision making method like Decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL). Barriers collected from the literature survey were used to evaluate the most influential barriers of supply chain management with the assist of industrial experts.
