Designing traceability information systems for processed apple products chain

Abstract

Food security issues is a problem for consumers to choose the right food products. Consumers are often faced with a lack of knowledge about nutritional content, expiration, and availability of healthy food products, especially for processed apple products. Therefore a traceability system is needed that guarantees the authenticity of the product and provides reliable information. Lack of good information and infrastructure will hinder the formation of an effective traceability system that some producers have not considered because it has high costs, especially for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). In general, producers and consumers need an information system that can provide food information effectively and efficiently. The purpose of this research is to design an information system that can be used for traceability of processed apple products. This study uses the Waterfall method which consists of several stages, namely: the data analysis stage, the planning stage, the implementation phase, and the testing phase. The design concept uses the object-oriented method using the Unified Modelling Language (UML), which consists of Use Case Diagrams, Activity Diagrams, and Sequence Diagrams. The results of this study are an information system design that can be used for traceability of the supply chain of processed apple products that can adapt to consumer needs.
