Abstract: Abstract The implementation of Supply Chain Management Information System (SCMIS) faces severe challenges, and the studies have shown a dismal picture about its implementation success. SCMIS provides high-quality, relevant, and timely information flow that effectively supports decision making for inventory replenishment, for capacity activation, and for synchronizing material flows at all tiers within the supply chain. Thereby it plays an increasingly critical role in the ability of firms to reduce costs, increase responsiveness, gain competitive advantage, and achieve better coordination. The implementation of SCMIS is a complicated process with significant risk. The studies have revealed that the success in implementing these systems is not very encouraging. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the challenges in SCMIS implementation and their severity. Studies on the failure factors of the ERP system have already been done by various researchers. The research on SCMIS an interorganizational system is in its early stages and is still to receive that much attention as its predecessor, whereas barriers for its implementation are more severe. In this paper, an attempt has been made to establish the challenges being faced for the successful implementation of the system.
