Abstract:

It is acknowledged that the strategic framework for halal logistics service is an innovation mechanism in engaging halal practices but the desire for Allah’s blessing is the ultimate mechanism. The rapid growing halal industry and market have increased the demand for halal logistics industry. Yet, there are only few halal logistics service providers (LSP) that practice halal business as a function of profit. Hence as Muslim country, Malaysia should emphasize on halal logistics competency that assures halal integration. However, the holistic view on anatomy of halal service is yet to be seen. The literature has a lack of theoretical understanding and empirical evidence on the mechanism of halal logistics competency. To fill these crucial gaps, this paper reviews the concept of service in halal system and further identifies essential mechanisms for halal logistics integration and framework.
