Abstract: The objective of the research was to identify and analyse the barriers small companies in the cluster of clothing and knitwear line the city of Socorro/SP face in implementing the supply chain management (SCM). As a research instrument, a questionnaire with Likert scale of agreement and open questions was used. The research is characterised as exploratory, whose methods are employed in the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the model. The results were analysed with techniques of non-parametric statistics, using Chopra and Meindl (2003) method, where they work with five barriers, namely: barriers incentives, barriers information processing, operational barriers, barriers prices and behavioural barriers. The results answered the research objectives, demonstrating the analysis of the barriers that companies of the cluster in the city of Socorro/SP face in implementing SCM, demonstrating that even the barrier of information processing demonstrated the unsatisfactory outcome to APL.
