EN Complex systems of supply chains need to be integrated. Such integration is essential in order to achieve sustainable logistics of the system. This chapter presents an approach to this issue based on DEMATEL methodology. This chapter presents an approach to this issue based on identifying the barriers in supply chain integration and understanding their cause effect relationships using the DEcision MAking Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) methodology. A total of 17 barriers affecting the integration of business entities in the supply chain were identified through a survey addressed to experts from Poland and Canada. The results of the study show Lack of Resource sharing (integration), Lack of Organisational compatibility, Lack of Information sharing, Lack of Responsibility sharing, and Lack of Planning of supply chain activities as top five barriers in supply chain integration. Therefore, organizations should investigate causes behind these barriers and take appropriate measures to resolve them to ensure seamless integration across their supply chains.
