ABSTRACT
The manufacture of spare parts for agricultural transport equipment from cast blanks involves various barriers affecting the quality of finished products and their operational proper-ties. The aim of this study is to identify and assess these barriers from the perspective of enter-prises engaged in machining operations. The empirical basis of the study is a survey conducted among spare-parts manufacturers. The analysis covers barriers related to the quality of cast blanks, difficulties encountered during machining, quality assurance of finished parts, and pro-blems revealed during assembly and operation. The adopted approach makes it possible to assess the significance of individual barriers, identify relationships between them, and establish their hierarchy. The findings may provide a basis for identifying areas requiring improvement in en-terprises manufacturing spare parts for agricultural transport equipment
