In two workshops involving supply chain managers from the Textile Clothing and Footwear (TCF) industry and industry facilitators, ways in which SSM techniques might supplement existing Supply Chain Management (SCM) workshop approaches have been explored. Specifically, the placement of SSM techniques within a workshop setting, reactions to the techniques, perceived reasons for using SSM, together with strengths and difficulties encountered, have been examined.}, number={2}, journal={Australasian Journal of Information Systems}, author={Gencoglu, Gulender and Altmann, Graeme and Smith, Ross and Mackay, David}, year={2002}, month={May} }
