dc.description	E-procurement is the use of internet and technology to replace manual activities in the procurement process. According to Nawi et al. (2016) e-procurement is the automation of an organisation’s procurement processes using web-based applications [1]. When looking at the apparel industry, apparel design, manufacturing, and exportation can be considered as parts of one of the biggest manufacturing industries in Sri Lanka, which plays a major role in the advancement of economy. Propelled by globalisation, the apparel industry must cope with high demanding customers. Consumers in today’s market demand products to be produced at a competitive price with the fastest turnaround time possible. Textile and apparel sourcing companies, therefore, have to be nimble enough to respond promptly to changing consumer preferences and value-added activities [2]. This research focuses on implementing e-procurement in apparel supply chain and elaborates factors affecting its implementation, challenges in implementing e-procurement and the impact of e-procurement strategies on the performance of the apparel supply chain.	en_US
