Purpose

A traceability system is a key success factor in global food trade, but implementing it in vegetable oil industry is one of the most difficult undertakings in food supply chain management. This study aims to (1) identify typical operational barriers in the implementation of bulk-liquid traceability system in the Indonesian vegetable oil industry by considering the perspective of experts and (2) model the relationship between the barriers structurally in order to improve the reliability of the traceability system.

Design/methodology/approach

To do so, data from in-depth interviews with experts were examined by using content analysis. Then the authors used a combination of decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), interpretive structural modelling (ISM) and matrice d'impacts croisés multiplication appliqué un classement (MICMAC) to construct the hierarchical model and to cluster the typical barriers based on their driving power and dependence power.

Findings

In total, 20 typical traceability barriers along the internal chain (supplier-input-process-output-customer) were identified. The interrelationships between these barriers were modeled in a hierarchical structure, seeking to answer why it is difficult to implement a traceability system and what actions should be taken to remove these barriers.

Practical implications

The model can shed light on how to manage barriers in bulk-liquid food commodity industry, especially in the vegetable oil industry. An action map has been proposed to overcome the operational barriers. This model will also help tracing the critical points of the traceability system.

Originality/value

Compared to other food commodities, operational barriers in vegetable oil chain has never been studied specifically. In fact, there are many operational aspects that hinder traceability. The Indonesian context entails social, economic and environmental factors as well, so it can inform decision-makers in formulating an action map.

印尼植物油行业的典型可追溯性壁垒

目的

可追溯系统是全球食品贸易成功的关键因素，但在植物油行业中实施可追溯系统是食品供应链管理中最困难的工作之一。这项研究旨在（1）通过考虑专家的观点确定印度尼西亚植物油行业实施散装液体追溯系统中的典型操作障碍，以及（2）在结构上对这些障碍之间的关系进行建模以提高可靠性。追溯系统。

设计/方法/方法

为此，通过使用内容分析来检查来自与专家进行的深入访谈的数据。然后，作者结合使用了决策试验和评估实验室（DEMATEL），解释性结构建模（ISM）和矩阵croiséscroisés乘法应用程序未分类（MICMAC）来构建层次模型并基于他们的驱动力和依赖力。

发现

总共确定了沿着内部链（供应商-输入-过程-输出-客户）的20种典型可追溯性壁垒。这些障碍之间的相互关系以分层结构建模，试图回答为什么难以实施可追溯性系统以及应采取哪些措施消除这些障碍。

实际影响

该模型可以阐明在散装液体食品商品行业，尤其​​是植物油行业中如何管理壁垒。已经提出了行动图以克服业务障碍。该模型还将帮助跟踪可追溯系统的关键点。

创意/价值

与其他食品相比，从未专门研究植物油链中的操作障碍。实际上，有许多操作方面会妨碍可追溯性。印度尼西亚的情况也涉及社会，经济和环境因素，因此可以为决策者提供制定行动图的依据。
