Abstract

The Halal supply chain network is currently growing globally. The lack of availability of Halal supply information is a major disadvantage in the Halal-related industry as it disrupts the coordination and cooperation between Halal-related stakeholders. In tackling this issue, there is a need to improve the implementation of the Halal supply chain management system for Small and Medium Enterprises. This study aims to develop and verify the framework for Small and Medium Enterprises to improve Halal food supply chain standards through the implementation of the Halal supply chain system. This study uses a qualitative approach to building the Supply Chain Management System Implementation Framework. A total of 10 experts are involved in verifying the Implementation Framework for the Halal Supply Chain Management System. The framework is verified using the Delphi technique with three-stage iterations. The findings show that there are three phases, six components and 12 Critical Success Factors which are verified by all experts during the framework verification session. This study gives insights into the implementation and integration of Halal elements and processes within the SME setting.
