QUIZ CHAPTER 1 - CHAPTER 4
1. What is the definition of halal, logistics management and halal logistics?
● Halal used to describe anything permissible under Islamic law, in contrast to haram,
that which is forbidden. Halal also used to describe anything permissible under
Islamic law, in contrast to haram, that which is forbidden. This covers aspects such
as behavior, speech, dress, conduct, manner, and dietary laws. This dichotomy of
usage is similar to the Hebrew term "kosher".
● Logistics management is the part of the supply chain process that plans, implements,
and controls the efficient, effective flow and storage of goods, services, and related
information from the point of origin to the point of consumption to meet customer
requirements.
● Halal logistic means the process of managing the procurement movement, storage
and handling of materials, parts livestock and (semi) finished inventory both food and
non-food through the organization and the supply chain in compliance with the
general principle of Shariah Law.
2. What is the importance of contract logistics?
● The important of contract logistic is cost-savings, either in the form of equity or time,
eliminating the need to construct a costly infrastructure. For example, a company that
produces windows might have a large factory, and next to it an office building to
accommodate staff.
● Next, other importance is the company would be much better served using a
company like United Parcel Service or DHL for their shipping needs. Doing so would
eliminate the need to invest in shipping trucks, airplanes, shipping facilities, packing
materials, and other items that do not directly influence their product or its design.
● So, since many contract logistics companies is not just in the delivery business are
often the largest in their field, they are able to negotiate lower prices of goods that a
smaller business, like the glass company, wouldn't have the leverage to do. It can
thus be even cheaper to work with a contract logistics company that building the
infrastructure yourself.
3. List the main components in halal logistics management?
4. Explain the 4 main keys in logistics operations?
Suppliers and manufacturers
● Obtaining raw materials is the first part of supply chain management, which is taken
care of by the manufacturer or supplier. A dependable manufacturer is responsible
for tracking the work-in-process inventory phase.
● Choosing the right supplier is important; manufacturers that are inconsistent in
delivering a quality product and/or shipping inventory to the seller can slow down
operations from the very start.
● For example, the movement of raw materials being processed into finished goods) to
make sure you get a high-quality, sellable product on time and at the most affordable
price.
Distributed fulfillment centers
● Fulfillment centers are warehouses that hold inventory close to the end customer, so
each order is picked, packed, and shipped as soon as it’s placed to ensure the
fastest delivery possible.
● Many direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands depend on a third-party logistics (3PL)
company that performs ecommerce fulfillment services.
● So, they don’t have to worry about fulfilling and shipping orders themselves.
Warehousing
● Warehousing is a key stage in the logistics operations process that involves storing
and managing physical goods before they are sold.
● There are several key parts to warehouse management, including the safety and
security of stored goods, inventory control processes that help to optimize inventory
storage, and much more.
● These crucial operational warehouse management systems help to track where
items are located, when they arrived, and how long they have been there.
Shipping
● Orders that are shipped to customers accurately and quickly speaks to how well you
run your logistics operations. Although the execution of shipping orders to their
destination is ultimately up to the carrier, so, we can choose which shipping methods
to offer your customers for which locations.
● We also have the option to ship orders in-house, most often which involves standing
in line at the post office. Otherwise, we can outsource fulfillment to a company that
has access to discounted shipping rates from major carriers and can take care of the
shipping process.
5. Draw and explain a halal supply chain management model.
●
6. What is the importance of integrity in halal logistics management?
Incentivize ethical behaviour
● This integrity is important because a troubled relationship between the porcurement
operation and a third-party supplier has real consequences.
Set standards
● This integrity is important because it shows that a suppliers should meet it (integrity
standards) that are set for our entire company.
Maintain control of the contract
● This integrity is important because it helps to manage the integrity of the suppliers to
weave the elements that we require into the supplier contract.
