It gives you proven, practical strategies to guide you and it has triggered fundamental improvement around the globe. The excellent ideas in this book are based on Prof. Dr. Marco Tieman long experiences as an international consultant and lecturer of halal supply chain management. This book also reader-friendly and reflects the world of the practices while presented case studies offer inspiring models of halal excellence achievement." - Dr. H.

It also highlights the weak areas that need to be addressed, with emphasis on training throughout the organisation for end-to-end Halal assurance.
