Global Islamic Economy Summit 25-26 November in Dubai

-
The Islamic economy is emerging as a new paradigm that will be driving growth over the coming decade. The Global Islamic Economy Summit 2013 is the first event to bring together world-class experts in critical industry sectors that span geographic regions and cultural boundaries to directly address the greatest challenges and opportunities in this new economy. 

 One of the featured topics is: 
Controlling Supply Chain and Logistics Integrity: Turning Risk into 
Investment Opportunities 
The importance of maintaining the integrity of the Halal supply chain, from the farm to the fork, has 
become an increasingly relevant issue. The development of Halal logistics, with the creation of Halal 
distribution hubs and port-to-port protocols by several port authorities, has created a new option within 
the logistics, storage and transportation sectors. To what extent does this add genuine value for the end 
consumer and investors, and what are the long-term implications of this new development?

The International Halal Logistics Standard: IHIAS 0100:2010

As Halal is extending towards supply chain management (similar to food safety, where halal integrity is secured from source to the point of consumer purchase : the supermarket or restaurant) it is important to look at halal logistics. Logistics assists supply chains in connecting the individual suppliers, supplier of suppliers, customers, customers of customers to the final consumer: creating a supply network bringing the final halal product to the consumer. Today, even with a simple product as bread, the flour might be imported from China, butter from New Zealand, bread improvers from the Netherlands, seeds from Iran, etc. Supply chains are therefore  complex and international . Complex supply chains , due to the many different supply chain partners bring vulnerabilities along, requiring a ROBUST design in order to protect the halal integrity as good as possible. HalalSecure.com  for example is assisting brand owners for example to better organise and protect their halal supply cha

In establishing an integrated halal supply chain (from 'farm to fork' or more precise from 'source to the point of consumer purchase') and optimise the performance of your halal supply chain, it is important to realise what are the components or so called 'logistics building blocks' of a halal supply chain. The figure below presents and overview of the logistics building blocks in organising your halal supply chain. I will discuss each component accordingly. By developing an integrated halal supply chain, the start is the right intention. Halal needs commitment from the top management through a halal policy , which acts as basis for the organisation of the supply chain. There should be a strategic fit between the corporate strategy and the halal policy.

Sea ports, airports, and inland terminals are important links in global halal supply chains, but a MISSING LINK when it comes to halal! Halal compliance and certification of port terminals are important to (1) avoid breakage of halal supply chains, (2) better address risk & reputation management for cargo owners + shipping lines + (sea/air/inland) ports, and (3) avoid fraud with halal logos.   In a halal compliant terminal (sea, air or inland terminal) halal goods are segregated from non-halal goods throughout the terminal process. Below a halal port decision tree to identify your next steps in professionalising halal compliant terminal operations.  There is an international halal standard for certification halal logistics operations: OIC/SMIIC 17:2020. Malaysia uses the MS 2400:2019 and Indonesia uses the HAS 23000-5 standards for the certification of logistics operations. These standards can also be used for the halal certification of sea ports, airports and inland port terminal
