Budiman (2013) stated that supply chain implementation is an important part of improving the ability of business organization competition and this is no different in managing SME chicken farms. A supply chain consists of suppliers, manufacturing centers, warehouses, distribution centers, and retail sellers (Lin et al, 2006) It is developed, because of the desire of one or several parties involved both directly. In Pasuruan district, SME chicken farms encounter several problems in meeting consumers needs due to non -integrated SCM of domestic meat chickens.
