This study aims to design a Socolatte supply
chain management system in Pidie Jaya to increase the
capacity and profits for local cocoa farmers and the
Socolatte company. The method used in this research
was system dynamics by designing causal loop diagrams.
CLD is a systems thinking-based modeling approach
that uses feedback and delays to understand the
dynamics of behavior that occurs in the Socolatte
industrial supply chain. This research produces a supply
chain management system design model that is able to
follow any changes in market demand. The buyer sector
is the driving force for other sectors. Every change in
terms of orders and specifications in the form of
demands for quality, quantity, delivery time, price and
etc. must be responded to by all business actors involved
in the supply chain network of the cocoa processing
industry. Likewise, the adoption of the supply chain
management system design model through causal loop
diagrams can increase profits for the company and its
partners.
