Supply Chain Risk Management: An Approach to Reduce The Agricultural Product's Logistics Costs

Characteristics of perishable agricultural products led to an expensive logistics costs and the need for specific treatment along the supply chain to the consumer. The differences in treatment as well as the acceptance of risk in each tier supply chain lead to different ways of mitigating the risk. The use of the combination method of risk management and supply chain management can be done to improve the performance supply chain. By reducing the potential risk the possibility of damage due to transportation and distribution can be reduced. Results of the research have been done in some cases (corn and fresh vegetables) and combined with fulfillment of inventory by the service level that occurs is an alternative to reduce the logistics cost.Keywords: perishable, ISO 31000, risk mitigation, supply chain, logistics cost

Agriculture Value Chain as an Alternative to Increase Better Income’s Distribution: The Case of Indonesia

Specific material handling and treatment for specific agriculture products is required. Enhancing the productivity, competitiveness and efficiency of agriculture value chain is a priority for Indonesia to achieve competitiveness. This chapter discusses the overview of agriculture value chain in Indonesia and provides case studies related to supply chain risk management and logistics cost. Then, the author may propose recommendations to optimize the agricultural value chain. Each agriculture commodity probably has different type of tier, type of supply chain risks, issues and activities which leads to the different proportion of logistics and distribution cost in each tier. The results showed differences in strategy either speculation or postponement for inventory management to improve the value of horticulture along supply chain, while in aquaculture research also shows the same differences. Moreover, the value chain analysis helps to identify the value created by each stakeholder. In the value chain of catchment fish, ship owner plays the dominant role in the whole income distribution, while in the aquaculture, spreader get the highest profit margin. Trader gives the highest value added during transportation but earns the lowest profit. The value chain analysis of fresh vegetables shows the highest portion of traders in the whole inventory cost

OPTIMASI MODEL PERSEDIAAN BAHAN BAKU (Raw Material Inventory Model)PADA INDUSTRI KECIL KELOMPOK PANGAN PRODUK UNGGULAN DI DAERAH ISTIMEWA YOGYAKARTA

Problems on raw material inventory in food sector small scale industry have been of classical and yet no solution is achived. Specific characteristics found out, such as seasonal, perishasble, and post harvest losses have a significant influence on set up, distribution and warehousing cost. Consequence price fluctuation was observed. Excessive storage capacity means ineffective capital usage, contrarily, too low storage capacity can strike productive line lead to customer unsatisfaction. Optimum model approach on inventory has been taken using constant consideration on several storage and production planning characteristics. Optimum inventory model was developed through direct field observation on individual characteristic of raw materials and its fullfliness characteristic and their link to production planning. QS Software was used to solve EOQ analysis. The object research consist of 4 kinds of small scale industries, that are : emping melinjo (Gnetum g nem on), geplak, tofu (traditional food of soybean material) anda bakery small industries. The result shown that the inventory model of small scale industries Is affected by production rate. Case on emping melinjo industries, the inventory model consist of: (i) inventory model based on lead time greater than zero (ii) in ven tory model based on tolerance of raw material-shortage and (iii) inventory model based on constant production rate (replenishment model). Using the inventory model optimized in this research, raw material distribution controlled by government can be improved. Analysis show that the reorder point and order interval can be reduced (in cased of sugar and flour raw material). Fluctuation pricing of raw material provoque augmentation of total cost and order interval (in case of coconut raw material).

An Application of RapAgRisk (Rapid Agricultural Supply Chain Risk Assessment) Method on Fresh Vegetables for Identifying and Reducing Damage during Delivery to Consumers

Vegetables have distinctive properties that are easily damaged, so handling and delivery time will be the important factors in the whole supply chain. Identification and mitigation of the damage is very important to prevent damage to vegetables and maintain resale value. This study uses the Rapid Agricultural Supply Chain Risk Assessment (RapAgRisk) based on the risk management standard ISO 31000:2009 to conduct a risk analysis. The field research uses sample of the actors in the supply chain from the farm producer to the point of sale. The research was done by taking convenience sampling through in-depth interviews with the actors of the supply chain. The research location in fresh vegetable production centers in Magelang (Central Java Province), and Sleman (Yogyakarta Province). Research result showed risk factor of the weather, natural condition, biological and environmental, related markets, logistics (infrastructure), and operational management in the supply chain of fresh vegetables. At the level of farmers and collectors, each have four risks while at the merchant level, there are five important risks getting attention for follow up. Mitigation each of these factors lead to the reducing damage and it can be applied to maintain the quality of the vegetables and increase the selling price. Keywords: Fresh vegetables; RapAgRisk; Risk management; Risk mitigation; Supply chai
