Purpose Vietnam is having tough competition when joining free trade zones. SMEs in Vietnam with limited resources and a low level of management and advanced technology applications are facing hard time when competing with companies, especially multi-national companies. To respond to difficulties, many of Vietnamese companies try to implement SMWTs to boost the organizational performance and reduce waste. However, there are hidden barriers that prevent them from implementing effective SMWTs. This paper aims to figure out whether SMWTs can be successfully integrated and the barriers that prevent the transformation, so that the organizations can prepare well enough before the implementation. Methodology In-depth interview with team members at an SME in Vietnam, then compare the collected information to the literature synthesis to predict the effectiveness of the SMWT.
