Reconstruction of SCM Performance Measurement Model for Halal Industry

One pattern of Islamic business that is growing rapidly in both Muslim and non-Muslim majority countries is the halal industry. [1] emphasized that in its development, the halal industry has an important issue that needs to be addressed immediately, namely the need for performance measurement tools. So far, there is no instrument as a tool to measure performance that is able to comprehensively assess all Supply Chain Management (SCM) in the halal industry. SCM of the halal industry is motivated by the industry’s desire to meet the demands of Muslim consumers who want to ensure that what is consumed is guaranteed halal, not only from the status of the ingredients but all aspects involved in the business process [7]. Therefore, the halal industry due to ideological differences requires a performance paradigm shift in the form of a performance measurement tool that is not limited to profit achievement but compliance with Islamic values [2]. The halal industry is said to perform well when SCM is focused on a “holiness” approach through maslahah (welfare) [19].Therefore, through a qualitative approach, this study seeks to develop indicators to measure the performance of Halal Supply Chain Management specifically for the halal industry. The results of the study found that the performance measurement model for HSCM consists of quantitative and qualitative indicators. Aspects of obedience to Islamic principles to achieve halal integrity are not always able to be measured with quantitative techniques, therefore it is necessary to reconstruct qualitative indicators. Further research can be done by implementing the HSCM performance measurement model specifically for the halal industry.

A risk assessment framework using neutrosophic theory for the halal supply chain under an uncertain environment

PurposeThe complex network structure causes several disruptions in the supply chain that make risk management essential for supply chain management including halal supply chain (HSM). During risk management, several challenges are associated with the risk assessment phase, such as incomplete and uncertain information about the system. To cater this, the authors propose a risk assessment framework that addresses the issues of uncertainty using neutrosophic theory and demonstrated the applicability of the proposed framework through the case of halal supply chain management (HSCM).Design/methodology/approachThe proposed framework is using the capabilities of the neutrosophic number which can handle uncertain, vague and incomplete information. Initially, the risk related to the HSC is identified through a literature review and expert’s input. Further, the probability and impact of each HSM-related risk are assessed using experts’ input through linguistic terms. These linguistic values are transformed into single-value trapezoidal neutrosophic numbers (SVTNNs). Finally, the severity of each HSM-related risk is determined through the multiplication of the probability and impact of each risk and prioritised the risks based on their severity.FindingsA comprehensive risk assessment framework is developed that could be used under uncertainty. Initially, 16 risks are identified related to the HSM. Further, the identified risks are prioritised using the severity of the risks. The high-priority risk is “raw material status”, “raw material wholesomeness” and “origin of raw material” while “information integrity” and “people integrity” are low-priority risks.Practical implicationsHSM risk can be effectively assessed through the proposed framework. The proposed framework applied neutrosophic numbers to represent real-life situations, and it could be used for other supply chains as well.Originality/valueThe proposed method is effectively addressing the issue of linguistic subjectivity, inconsistent information and uncertainty in the expert’s opinion. A case study of the HSC is adopted to illustrate the efficiency and applicability of the proposed risk framework.

Modeling of halal supplier flexibility criteria in the food supply chain using hybrid ISM-MICMAC: A dynamic perspective

In the context of the halal supply chain, the need for flexibility of halal suppliers is increasing along with changes in regulations, policies, markets, and technology that change dynamically. Therefore, more systematic and dynamic modeling of flexibility criteria for halal suppliers is needed to improve the quality of halal supply chain management as a whole. The purpose of this study is to identify the criteria for halal suppliers by considering flexibility in the context of a halal supply chain. In this study, modeling the criteria for the flexibility of halal suppliers is carried out using the Interpretive Structural Modeling—Matriced’ Impacts Croisés Appliquée á un Classement (ISM-MICMAC) hybrid approach and a dynamic perspective. This study resulted in 11 criteria for halal suppliers which were divided into four levels in the ISM hierarchical structure. The criteria were spread over three quadrants of the MICMAC analysis, namely independent, linkage, and dependent. The results of the ISM and MICMAC approaches are then represented in a causal loop diagram which consists of an amplifying loop and a closed loop. The reinforcing circle consists of the criteria of responsibility-service-security-trust, while the balancing circle consists of traceability and costs. Even though the flexibility criterion is not in between the two loops, the criterion still influences other halal supplier criteria. This shows that flexibility criteria have important relationships and influences in the context of halal supply chain management.

Utilization of Business Analytics by SMEs In Halal Supply Chain Management Transactions

Halal supply chain management has transformed beyond food and beverage certification. However, extant literature shows that Halal transaction management still has much to improve in terms of transaction permissibility, with the main gap in understanding Halal businesses and their transactions limited to a system that separately defines e-commerce and financial technology data into its IT business environment. This study aims to demonstrate the usefulness of managing Halal transactions and its permissibility analysis through a proposed Halal Supply Chain Management Transactions (HSCMT) model and prototype by applying a business analytic approach to integrate both e-commerce and financial technology data. The study uses literature analysis to ensure the correct structure of the integrated datasets, before modeling the transaction's permissibility and prototyping its analytics into decision-making analytics. The developed HSCMT prototype uses a payment gateway that can be embedded into a Halal SME owners' e-commerce site. This creates a holistic Halal Financial technology (FinTech) transaction permissibility dashboard, increasing the effectiveness of HSCMT for Malaysia Halal SME Owners (MHSO) by an average usability score of 83.67%. Results also indicate that the key basic mechanisms to verify transactional permissibility are the source of the transaction, the use of the transaction, transaction flow, and transaction agreement. Furthermore, its mechanisms must be mapped onto a submodule post-transformation and modeling of the transaction dataset. Further improvements in multisource data points can be further considered, as this research only focuses on local data points from one payment gateway service. This is due to restrictions in data policy when involving overseas supply chain and transaction documentation. This research utilizes available data in business through data management, optimization, mining, and visualization to measure performance and drive a company's growth. The competency of business analytics can be beneficial to Halal SMEs players because it can provide them with insights into the permissibility decision-making process.
