Abstract

The demand for halal goods and services will increase in the future along with the growth of the Muslim population. The halal economy globally also has the potential to increase because it has a high selling value and is not only aimed at Muslim consumers. The Halal Product Assurance Law is implemented starting October 17, 2019, where all products that enter, circulate, and are traded in Indonesia are required to have a halal certificate. This study aims to analyze the level of product readiness for halal certification. Observations were made at four SMEs using the Macro-ergonomics Organizational Questionnaire Survey (MOQS) approach and a questionnaire developed based on 11 criteria for the Halal Assurance System of The Assessment Institute for Foods, Drugs, and Cosmetics (LPPOM MUI). Then tested the validity and reliability of the data. The results showed that sample 3 is the SME that is almost ready to carry out halal certification. Meanwhile, samples 1, 2, and 4 need to make some improvements to be better prepared for halal certification. This research provides a written contribution in the form of a quantitative assessment to see the readiness of SMEs in Halal certification
