Information Systems International Conference (ISICO), 2 – 4 December 2013 Copyright © 2013 ISICO Supply Chain Management Implementation for Food Security besides Rice (Cassava) Using ERP Software Erma Suryani, Retno Aulia Vinarti, Kukuh Pratama, Radityo Prasetianto Wibowo Erma Suryani, Retno Aulia Vinarti, Kukuh Pratama, Radityo Prasetianto Wibowo Department of Information Systems, Faculty of Information Technology, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember Keywords: Food diversification SCM-IS Open ERP ABSTRACT Food is one of basic needs of human to stay alive; it means food security take strategic position for human living continuance. Food diversification can be a solution in Indonesian Food Consumption Pattern has deviated from PPH (Food Consumption Expectation). Implementing Food Diversification can increase food security when climate, endemic, biotic, and seasonal factor happened. To support food diversification, foremost activity is food procurement process, starting from the demand, production, marketing, distribution and consumption of food. This activity series exist in industry concept named Supply Chain Management. With converting rice needs into cassava, this research applied forecasting method to predict the human food needs in the future. The complexity of this research is not only placed on the converting and forecasting cassava needs but also took on tapioca factory. The tapioca factory is considered as loyal customer of Bulog that will surely affect the existing workflow and distributing system.

Indonesian food consumption still focuses on grains mainly in rice because it is the main and the first food for them. Meanwhile, tubers as an alternative solutions consumed approximately a third of a whole portion in Indonesia (about 2%-6% from the expected consumption) (Susenas 2002, 2003, 2004). Even though tubers’ price in Indonesia considered as cheap sources for food in contrast with rice price that increase up to 60% (50% from the expected price). In order to keep food sustainability, government established institution named Perum Bulog. Perum Bulog is the only government institution that its main role is managing food needs in Indonesia. For supporting its obligation, Bulog contribute more in increasing domestic’s demand efficiency to reduce government’s expenses in domestic food. One of its policies is by food diversification, transferring rice into tubers consumption as cheaper food sources and its carbohydrate substance that has almost similarity with rice. Food diversification takes into account in decreasing number of rice consumption level with enlarge food’s choices. Basically, diversification is an effort to gain secondary food sources instead of rice sources. Diversification can modify people’s level of consumerism and food substances knowledge. Moreover, it can heighten the Indonesian’s abilities to compete with other developed countries [1]. The importance of SCM-IS implementation in food diversification is to help food sources scarcity in the future through integrated information system. Integrated information systems by SCM-IS may improve Bulog’s performance to collaborate with its stakeholders. As the function of integrated Supply Chain Management System, that is to integrate information with food flows between food stakeholders, communication obstacles, and process redundancies can be omitted through coordination, monitoring and control process.
