This is because a product with a halal logo is still doubted , especially on Sharia compliance . Each individual cannot do the process of determining the sources of halal ( imported product ).
• Halal warehouse : Not many warehouses have implemented halal logistics in Malaysia yet . The operation uses different tools to handle halal and non-halal goods in the warehouse , which creates doubt for the Muslim community .

The main objective is to look at the possible method of implementation and critical success factors towards the performance of halal logistics operations in daily goods movement in Malaysia
The success of halal logistics does not only lie in a single entity . Support and collaboration between all parties , including halal logistics service providers , halal authorities , governments or government agencies , halal institutes and universities , product or service manufacturers and consumers , are all needed to have a wholesome and successful halal logistics .
The halal industry significantly impacts Malaysian economic growth . As part and parcel of the halal industry , the supply chain is one of the significant segments of halal integrity to rely on . ( Sirajuddin , Osman , Jaafar , & Yusoff , 2016 )
Halal logistics is critical in ensuring that the halal integrity for the Muslim consumer and a certain specified level of segregation is required throughout the supply chain ( Zailani et al ., 2018 ).
These discerning consumers may be willing to pay even more for halal products as long as the producers can adequately ensure that the products are compliant with Halal Sharia principles ( Ahmed , 2019 ).
