Abstract

This study aims to develop a sustainable halal circular economy model based on a management information system (MIS) in the halal clothing Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia. The main challenge faced is integrating circular economy principles with halal values, particularly in the SMEs sector. The approach used was the seven stage Soft System Methodology (SSM). Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation studies. The results of the study identified gaps between existing practices and ideal conditions in aspects of halal supply chain management, production waste management, raw material traceability systems, and halal integration in business operations. The developed model contains six main pillars, namely the 6R principle (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Redesign, Recover, Remanufacture) which is aligned with halal requirements, an integrated management information system, a digital technology-based traceability mechanism, and a multi-stakeholder collaboration framework. The designed information system includes a halal management module, a sustainability module, an integration module, and a decision support system. This research provides a theoretical contribution by integrating SSM, halal practices, and sustainability as a blueprint for implementing a circular economy in the halal apparel sector, while also serving as a foundation for developing halal-sustainable industrial policies in Indonesia.
