Abstract

To improve a traceability system, both the internal and the chain one, the first important step is to identify the Critical Traceability Points (CTPs) along the supply chain. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to map out the CTPs of the Indonesian coconut oil company as the basis for improving the traceability system. Process mapping was used as the method to capture the CTPs in the production of Refined Bleached Deodorized Coconut Oil (RBDCNO). Critical Traceability Point Analysis (CTPA) was performed to find the feasible traceability improvement strategies. The process mapping successfully identified 13 CTPs from the reception of raw materials to the dispatch of finished products. The recommended improvement strategies are to integrate the identification record of material flow along the process and to develop an internal code system that allows the company to trace and track. This recommendation can be implemented by converting the information system into a digital system.
