Abstract
The growth of population and economics are factors that affect the increasing demand for livestock products in Indonesia. Beef and chicken are the most consumed meat in Indonesia with an average meat consumption of 2.72 kg per capita per year and there is an increasing trend. Currently, the domestic production of beef is only about 45% percent of the demand, the rest of the demand will be fulfilled by importing live cattle and frozen meat, mainly from Australia. The beef supply chain is quite complex and long. The available infrastructures still need to be improved in order to deliver the beef quickly and handled under appropriate cold chain. Our objectives are to identify the business process of the abattoir in the chilled beef product cold chain, to analyze the problem, and to propose some recommendations for their strategic improvement. The observation and in-depth interviews are conducted. Then, the result is analyzed by using Integration Definition for Function Modelling (IDEF0) to figure out the current situation and the activities in the abattoir. Based on the result, it is found that inventory management and temperature controlling are the major issues in the chilled beef cold chain that need to be monitored and controlled. This suggestion would be able to improve the efficiency of a chilled beef cold chain in Indonesia.
