a sustainable blockchain framework for the Halal Food supply chain lessons from malaysia
Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2021Co-Authors: Mohd Helmi Ali, Suhaiza Hanim Binti Dato Mohamad Zailani, Leanne Chung, Ajay Kumar, Kim Hua TanAbstract:Abstract This study proposes a sustainable blockchain framework for the Halal Food supply chain. As is widely acknowledged, blockchain could enhance supply chain integrity, but its impacts on the Halal Food supply chain are unknown. Disruptive technologies for Industry 4.0 can improve transparency, which is desperately needed in the Food supply chain; however, various challenges are also incurred. Based on five in-depth Halal Food supply chain case studies, this paper reveals a practical framework for overcoming the challenges faced by the Halal Food supply chain pertaining to blockchain implementation. The framework comprises five key challenges that are vital to small and medium enterprises in Halal Food supply chain blockchain implementation. The findings also indicate that the Halal Food supply chain can gain a congruent and fresh perspective in inducing or superseding blockchain technology. In addition, the roles of supply chain integration and Food regulations as the key enablers on the success of blockchain technology in the Halal Food supply chain are also discussed in this study. Additionally, the limitations and future research directions are also discussed.

A supply chain integrity framework for Halal Food
British Food Journal, 2017Co-Authors: Mohd Helmi Ali, Kim Hua Tan, Daud IsmailAbstract:Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a Food supply chain (SC) integrity framework in the context of Halal Food. Design/methodology/approach This paper provides a discussion on the development of Food SC integrity framework using triangulation of interviews’ insights with literature. Findings Current industry practices such as standards have not been sufficient in embracing the concept of Food SC integrity. As the Food SC is complex, Food SC integrity framework is proposed as a solution. This paper proposes Food SC integrity framework for Halal Food. It consists of four dimensions, namely: raw material, production, service, and information integrity. In addition, key elements for each dimension are derived from the interviews’ insights. Research limitations/implications The framework provides the evidence that the safeguarding of Halal Food integrity does not rely solely on certification; but it requires an extensive effort beyond certification. Practical implications Safeguarding of Food integrity should involve all stages and actors of the SC. Religious standards should incorporate SC integrity profiling through a controlling mechanism to promote higher Food product integrity. Originality/value Food SC integrity framework is important to religious Food as it plays a significant role to the population. This study contributes to a newly developed SC integrity framework in the context of Halal Food.

Extenuating Food Integrity Risk through Supply Chain Integration: The Case of Halal Food
Industrial Engineering and Management Systems, 2014Co-Authors: Mohd Helmi Ali, Kulwant Pawar, Kim Hua Tan, Zafir Mohd MakhbulAbstract:Effects of Food scandals on religious belief, human health and even on causes of death indicate that firms and consumers are vulnerable to integrity risks in the global supply chain. Mitigating the integrity risk and maintaining the credence quality products like Halal Food is very challenging, if not impossible. Our aim in this research is to show that supply chain integration can mitigate the Halal Food integrity risk. To illustrate this idea, we have conducted case studies and interviews in seven Malaysian chicken supply chain focal firms. We unpack the Halal integrity risks along the supply chain, such as production risk, raw material risk, Food security risk, outsourcing practices risk, service risk, and logistics risk. The research argues that supply chain integration, such as internal integration and external integration practices, could minimize the Halal integrity risk. The advantages of supply chain integration in mitigating the Halal integrity risk are also highlighted in this paper.

simulation of Halal Food supply chain with certification system a multi agent system approach
Pacific Rim International Conference on Multi-Agents, 2008Co-Authors: Y H Lam, Saadat M AlhashmiAbstract:Certification of Halal Food product supply becomes a challenging task as various validating procedures have to be undergone under the emergence of vast business networks in Food supply chain. In order to maintain high quality assurance of every validating procedure, and to fulfill demand from immense religious population, highly efficient method will be needed to monitor, to record and to register, to decide and to certify every actor (agent) and every product in the supply chain. With the multi-agent architecture this research work simulates the Halal Food supply chain planning with certification system, which attempts to replicate the actual market place coupled with Halal Food quality requirement. Statistical study of the decision making of various agents in the supply chain and the response of certification system will verify the feasibility of the certification framework in supply chain.

Halal Food standard implementation are malaysian firms proactive or reactive
British Food Journal, 2018Co-Authors: Mohamed Syazwan Ab Talib, Thoo Ai ChinAbstract:Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the reasons behind Halal Food standard (HFS) implementation among Food manufacturers in Malaysia. Additionally, it examines whether firms in the Malaysian Food manufacturing industry are proactive or reactive in implementing HFS. Design/methodology/approach A field survey was conducted in 210 Halal-certified Food manufacturers. A partial least squares structural equation modeling technique was used to examine the relationships between the reasons and implementation of HFS. Findings The empirical assessments revealed that organization’s commitment, operational improvement and marketing functions are the internal reasons. Meanwhile, government intervention and consumer pressure are the external reasons to implement HFS. Findings also indicated that Malaysian Food manufacturers are proactive in implementing HFS. Practical implications The knowledge from this research could encourage non-certified firms to implement HFS and entices Halal-certified firms to remain certified. It guides managers toward adopting a better strategy, particularly in prioritizing the internal factors and resources for a more sustainable and positive implication. Originality/value This research is among the few studies that scrutinized the rationale behind the rapid growth of Halal Food industry. It argues that the pursuit of HFS is not solely a religious obligation, but it is also driven by safety, quality and marketing motives.

motivations and benefits of Halal Food safety certification
Journal of Islamic Marketing, 2017Co-Authors: Mohamed Syazwan Ab TalibAbstract:Purpose This paper aims to review the motivation and benefits of implementing Halal Food safety certification (HFSC) from the upstream perspectives. Food safety certification (FSC) has long been a prevailing issue in the field of Food safety research. However, there remains a general paucity of research in religion-specific form of FSC, such as the HFSC. At present, the limited existing studies on HFSC focus on the demand side, but studies on the supply side are scarce and largely inconclusive. The review is further scrutinised by addressing the internal and external motivations and benefits of HFSC. Design/methodology/approach The explanatory and general review of this paper is based on an extensive literature review in FSC as well as the author’s personal reflections on past research in Halal certification. Findings The internal motivations concern a firm’s internal processes, people and the available resources, while the external motivations relate to a firm’s external elements such as government intervention and market pressure. A firm can reap the internal benefits, such as improved product quality, or enjoy the external benefits of better marketing and larger market shares. Originality/value The paper offers unique acumens and advances of a less-researched side of the Halal Food chain. It also compiles the conclusions of FSC research that could have a significant bearing on the internal and external impetuses and advantages of HFSC.

Linking Halal Food certification and business performance
British Food Journal, 2017Co-Authors: Mohamed Syazwan Ab Talib, Thoo Ai Chin, Johan FischerAbstract:Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between Halal Food certification (HFC) and business performance. This study argues that Halal Food certificate implementation positively influences business performance. Design/methodology/approach A total of 210 Halal certified Food manufacturing companies in Malaysia participated in the study. Data were gathered through a structured questionnaire and were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling technique. Findings The study proved that HFC has a positive relationship with operational performance. Additionally, operational performance mediates the relationship between HFC and financial performance. Altogether, this signifies that Halal Food certificate implementation positively influences business performance. Practical implications By linking HFC and business performance, managers may be aware of the significant role of HFC in influencing operational and financial performance. It would entice more Food companies to become Halal certified that opens up an opportunity to a lucrative Halal Food industry. It also empirically justifies that a religion-based Food certification has the ability to influence business performance, consistent with other established Food standards such as ISO 22000 or HACCP. Originality/value Although numerous studies have concentrated on well-established Food certifications, the expanding Muslim population, rising demand for Halal Food, and lucrative Halal Food market have raised the attention on HFC research among academicians and practitioners. This research is able to highlight the importance of implementing HFC among Food companies as it could potentially lead to superior business outcomes.

Emerging Halal Food market: an Institutional Theory of Halal certificate implementation
Management Research Review, 2016Co-Authors: Mohamed Syazwan Ab Talib, Abu Bakar Abdul Hamid, Siti Salwa Md. Sawari, Thoo Ai ChinAbstract:Purpose The emergence of the Halal Food market as one of the largest consumer Food markets has encouraged firms to implement Halal Food certification. However, the theoretical gap in Halal studies and the unequal focus of Halal Food certification research prove the deficiency of theoretical development and understanding. Hence, this paper aims to ascertain the theoretical background of Halal Food certificate implementation. Design/methodology/approach The paper reviews and synthesises literature focusing on Halal certification, Food certification and the Institutional Theory factors that could potentially explain the impetus of Halal Food certificate implementation. Findings The Institutional Theory offers a suitable explanation that grounds the motivation to implement Halal Food certification. The highly institutionalised Halal industry comprising government regulations, Muslim demands for Halal Foods and intense industry competition instigate Halal Food certificate implementation. Three propositions are presented and a conceptual model is developed. Research limitations/implications The notions of this paper are based on the institutional perspective, i.e. the external motivation factors. An alternative view on a management theory that explains the internal motivation factors would provide a more comprehensive interpretation of reasons to implement Halal Food certification. Nevertheless, the Institutional Theory offers strong understandings behind the motivation to implement Halal Food certification. Practical implications Discussions and propositions from this paper could contribute to theory formation that is unique to Halal or Muslim Food certification. This paper could also provide a sense of direction for researchers in mapping out future research undertakings. Originality/value The paper presents a valuable understanding of the dynamic of the Institutional Theory in the field of Halal Food certification. It is the first attempt that considers the institutional isomorphism of government decree, consumer demand and inter-firm competition as motivation factors of Halal Food certificate implementation.

Muslims’ willingness to pay for certified Halal Food: an extension of the theory of planned behaviour
Journal of Islamic Marketing, 2019Co-Authors: Mohammad Iranmanesh, Maryam Mirzaei, Seyed Mehrshad Parvin Hosseini, Suhaiza Hanim Binti Dato Mohamad ZailaniAbstract:Purpose The purpose of this paper is to extent the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), when extended by self-identity and religious commitment (RC), and is able to predict Muslim consumers’ willingness to pay (WP) for certified Halal Food. Design/methodology/approach A survey of 277 Muslim consumers in Malaysia was conducted and the cross-sectional data were analysed using the partial least squares technique. Findings Attitude (ATT) and religious self-identity (RSI) were found to have a positive impact on WP for certified Halal Food. Additionally, RC has a positive effect on ATT and RSI and has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between perceived behavioural control and WP. Practical implications The findings can benefit Halal Food companies by offering an insight into the willingness of Muslim consumers to pay for certified Halal Food. Originality/value The findings contribute to the research on Halal Foods by illustrating the factors that determine Muslim consumers’ WP for certified Halal Food. This study also extends the understanding of the TPB to the Halal Food context.
