A model for assessment of Halal Good Manufacturing Practice in meat industry

Abstract

This research aimed to build an assessment model on the Halal Good Manufacturing Practices (HGMP) in the meat industry. Data collection was used at four slaughterhouses in Indonesia. This study collected data through two closed questionnaires involving a paired matrix as a priority setting for improved policies and filling in values using a Likert scale. Integrating the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and House of Quality (HOQ) was adopted to develop a slaughterhouse assessment model. HGMP provided 54 performance indicators for slaughterhouses from 5 variables as assessment criteria. This case study found that the slaughterhouse performance in Pekanbaru had a good category than others. In addition, many defined customer and technical requirements need to be improved to meet customer needs in the Building and Facility; Equipment, Employee; Maintenance; Halal. The provision of a benchmarking matrix aims to facilitate managers to make measurable performance improvements.
