Green Supply Chain Performance Assessment Model Of Potato Chips Agroindustry

Abstract

The speed and accuracy of fulfilling potato needs in the potato processing industry are needed to anticipate consumer demand. This condition is influenced by the performance of supply chain actors to meet supply needs with good quality continuously. Potatoes are a food ingredient that is widely consumed by the Indonesian people, therefore, it is very important for the potato processing industry to be able to produce quality and safe products. The large number of actors involved in the supply chain and the nature of potatoes as an agricultural product that is easily damaged and will continue to change its quality throughout the supply chain will be an obstacle in controlling the quality and quantity of its supply. The potato chips agroindustry as one of the processed products that uses potatoes as raw materials must also pay attention to its production so as not to use hazardous food additives and above the permitted threshold. Therefore, the implementation of GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) throughout the supply chain of the green potato chips agroindustry is also very important. In an effort to improve the quality of potato chips products and their productivity in a sustainable manner, it is necessary to manage the supply chain in an environmentally friendly manner (green supply chain management). Where in the supply chain activities contribute to the use of carbon footprints released from each process. Improvement/enhancement can be done based on the results of the assessment/measurement of the performance of its supply chain that considers the environment. Thus, the purpose of this study is to identify stakeholders, variables and criteria in the green supply chain of potato chips agroindustry and to develop a model for assessing/measuring its performance. Based on the assessment of the performance of the potato chips supply chain, there are two actors, namely farmer groups which are still relatively low at 77.23% and agroindustry which is classified as medium at 84.29%. Based on the assessment of performance in the procurement business process, it has a high weight in the procurement of raw materials where in the continuity of raw materials needed according to the specifications of raw materials needed by the agroindustry related to the quality of potatoes according to the demand of the agroindustry.
