Abstract

Author-written

Red chilies (Capsicum annum) are perishable, seasonal, and come in all shapes and sizes. Throughout the supply chain, various treatments have been experienced, resulting in accelerated damage, both physiologically and mechanically, causing economic losses. The purpose of this study was to formulate identification, ranking, and risk mitigation plans for the red chillies supply chain at the red chili supply chain level in Bali Province. Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) mapping is used to identify risk events and risk agents; risk ranking using the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method; formulation of a risk mitigation plan in accordance with AS/NZS. Risk events and risk agents at every level of the supply chain are spread out in the plan, source, make, deliver, and return activities, except for retailers who are only identified in the plan, source, and make activities. The highest risk in the red chilli supply chain in the Intolerable category is at the farmer level, while the highest risk is for collecting traders, wholesalers, and retailers in the As Low As is Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) category. Supply chain actors are recommended to carry out periodic risk assessments and integrated risk mitigation planning according to the risk agent they are facing to minimize the impact of risk.

Introduction

One of the vegetables that have the potency to be developed in the province of Bali is red chilli. The demand for red chilli in Bali is relatively high because in addition to local people's consumption it also meets the needs of hotels and restaurants (Dewi & Parinning, 2017) [13] .

Data Analysis

The data analysis method used in this study was in line with to the research objectives, namely: (i) To identify possible risks, it is analyzed by (1) mapping the company's supply chain activities using the SCOR model and (2) identifying risk events and risk agents (Pujawan & Mahendrawathi, 2017) [21] . (ii) To rank the risks, it is analyzed through (1) risk assessment using the FMEA method; (2) risk priority number (RPN) weighting ranking and (3) risk level mapping using FMEA risk level map (Pujawan and Mahendrawathi, 2017) [21] . (iii) To make a risk mitigation plan, it is analyzed through the formulation of risk mitigation as described by AS/NZS 4360 (2004) [4] and Lestari et al. (2018) [19] .

Results and Discussions Identification of Risk Events and Risk Agents of Red Chilli Supply Chain in Bali Province

Risk events have been identified and categorized in the SCOR model. The results of risk event identification for each supply chain actor can be seen in Table 1 below. Farmers, collectors, and red chilli wholesalers face risk events on plan, source, make, deliver, and return. Specifically, retailers do not face risk events or deliver and return. This is because the sales system at retailers does not accept returns of goods that have been purchased by consumers and consumers who come to retailers to buy red chilli, so there is no delivery of goods. (Christopher & Holweg, 2011) [11] . The risk agents for each red chilli supply chain actor are identified and categorized in the SCOR model. Table 2 presents the risk agents for each actor in the red chilli supply chain in Bali Province. The types of risk agents due to risk events for red chilli supply chain actors are relatively diverse. The number of risk agents at retailers is the lowest, which is 11 types compared to the other three actors. This is partly due to the fact that retailers do not have deliver and return activities (Avinadav et al., 2015) [5] . The risks inherent in each of its activities are related to the success or failure of a supply chain. The main cause of these various risk factors is due to imperfect coordination and lack of information sharing between nodes/levels in the agricultural product supply chain (Wang et al., 2020) [28] .

Risk Ranking at Each Level of the Red Chilli Supply Chain

The ranking or risk assessment is shown based on the results of the recapitulation of the accumulated RPN values at each level of the red chilli supply chain in Figure 1a-4a. After obtaining the ranking as shown in Figure 1a-4a, then mapping is carried out based on the RPN value and severity value at each level of the supply chain. The risk agent map for each level of the red chili supply chain is shown in Figure 1b-4b

Risk ranking for red chilli farmers

The results of the risk assessment on red chilli farmers are shown in Figure 1a and the results of the evaluation of the risk agent are shown in Figure 1b. The highest risk agent for red chilli farmers is disease, followed by pest attacks, price distortions, price fluctuations, abundant production capacity, and weather uncertainty. This shows that the causes of the risk of conventional red chilli farming are disease, pests, and weather uncertainty. The influence of climate change affects the incidence of pests and diseases, host-pathogen interactions, so it becomes a major setback for vegetable cultivation (Ayyogari et al., 2014) [6] . Pest and disease attacks and price variations are risks that require urgent intervention (Ebile et al., 2021) [14] . In general, red chilli farmers are small farmers, with low status, production and business capital. This situation resulted in farmers being bound to sell their products of to the owner of the capital and receive the price determined by the owner of the capital. In addition, distortions and price fluctuations often occur. The sensitive farmers are weak in making decisions on the commodities they cultivate. The risk agent category for red chilli farmers can be seen in Figure 1b below. Based on the results of the evaluation of risk agents contained in the Farmer Risk Agent Map (Figure 1b), that the risks faced by farmers are in three risk categories, namely the acceptable category, the category that requires action to handle or control risks which must be determined immediately, and the category that requires risk management or control measures, and category which requires immediate action (Chen et al., 2015) [9] . Risk agents in the acceptable category consist of six risk agents (46.15%), meanwhile 7.70% in the category that requires action to handle or control risks that must be determined immediately, and 46.15% risk agents are in the category that requires fast action.

Risk ranking of red chilli collecting traders

The results of the risk assessment on the red chilli collectors are shown in Figure 2a and the results of the evaluation of the risk agent are shown in Figure 2b. The three highest risk agents for collecting traders are mistakes in predicting crop yields, followed by mistake in predicting the purchase price of chilies, and farmers are being unable to pay their debts due to crop failure. Next, we can observe the risk agent map on the red chilli collecting traders in Figure 2b. Based on the results of the risk agent evaluation contained in Figure 2b, that the risk agents faced by collecting traders are 88.89% are in the acceptable risk category and only 11.11% are in the category that requires risk management actions that must be determined immediately, namely the excess stock of chili and the error in predicting demand (Ray, 2021) [23] .

Fig 2b:

Risk agent map collecting traders (Source: result of primary data processed, 2021)

Risk ranking of red chilli wholesalers:

The results of the risk assessment on red chilli wholesalers are shown in Figure 3a and the results of the evaluation of the risk agent are shown in Figure 3b. The three highest risk agents for wholesalers are limited supplies at collecting traders, followed by price fluctuations, and a decline in demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Next, the Risk Agent Map for Red Chili Wholesalers can be seen in Figure 3b.

Fig 3a:

The results of the risk assessment on red chilli wholesalers Based on the results of the risk agent evaluation contained in Figure 3b, the risks faced by wholesalers fall into two risk categories, namely the acceptable category and the category requiring risk management actions that must be determined immediately. Risk agents in the acceptable category consist of 10 risk agents (71.43%) and four risk agents (28.57%) in the category that requires risk management actions that must be determined immediately (Ray, 2021) [23] . Figure 3a The three highest risk agents at retailers are the uncertainty of the amount of demand, followed by price fluctuations, and excess of stock. Next, the Risk Agent Map for Red Chilli Retailers can be seen in Figure 4b. Based on the results of the evaluation of risk agents contained in Figure 4b, that the risk agents faced by retailers are in two risk categories, namely seven risk agents in the acceptable category and four risk agents in the category that requires risk management actions that must be determined immediately. Based on the four risk agent maps, supply chain actors can find out the risk categories they face. Therefore, supply chain actors at every level need to carry out risk assessments on a regular basis in order to be able to mitigate risks early to reduce losses (Chowdhury & Quaddus, 2015) [10] .

Fig 4b: Risk agent map retailer

In Figure 1a-4a it can be observed that the highest RPN value at each level, the highest is found in farmers, which is 630 and the lowest is found in collecting traders, which is 179. This shows that farmers who face the greatest risk and collecting traders who face the lowest risk in red chilli supply chain in Bali Province. The highest risk in the red chilli supply chain in Bali Province based on the RPN value is included in the Intolerable category at the farmer level. This is supported by Dewi & Parining (2017) [13] , that the level of risk of red chilli production at the farmer level is relatively high as indicated by the coefficient of variation of 4.3. Therefore, farmers need to carry out mitigation planning and implement it. Situmeang (2011) [27] also argues that farmers need to carry out preventive strategies, namely carrying out routine and planned maintenance from seeding to harvesting. The results of this study are also supported by the results of the research from Kurniawan et al. (2014) [6] , i.e., there are still red chilli distribution channels that are not efficient when viewed from the value of the share of producers or the level of profit of red chilli farmers, which is less than 70%. Partially there are red chili production factors that are not efficient, namely seeds and manure, as well as inefficient production factors, namely foliar fertilizers, calcium fertilizers, pesticides, and labor. (Wijayanti et al., 2018) [29] . In addition, in their study of the Cocoa supply chain in Kare Village showed that supply chain performance conditions were not optimal. The highest risk at the level of collecting traders, wholesalers, and retailers is in the As Low As is Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) category. Risks in the Intolerable and ALARP categories still need risk mitigation planning. This is intended to minimize the impact of the risk that will be faced and the probability of the emergence of the cause of the risk, so as to minimize losses (Ray & Jenamani, 2016; Le et al. 2022) [22,18] . In the risk agent map (Figure 1b-4b), only risk agents for farmers consist of three risk categories, namely categories that are acceptable, categories that require action to handle or control risks that must be determined immediately, and categories that require quick action. The risk agent for farmers in the category that requires risk control measures that must be determined immediately is 46.15%. This value is relatively high, but farmers in the province of Bali continue to do red chilli farming in every planting season, both rainy and dry seasons. This attitude of farmers is supported by the results of research by Arifin & Wartapa (2021) [3] , that most farmers in Sumberharjo Village, Prambanan District have the attitude of wanting to continue red chili farming.

Risk mitigation planning for red chili supply chain actors

Mitigation planning is carried out after knowing the results of the FMEA risk level map. Risk mitigation planning in this study was carried out in accordance with AS/NZS 4360 (2004) [4] , namely mitigate risk, transfer risk, avoid risk, and retain risk. However, treatment with retain risk is not used because it is risk-accepting. The risk agent given by the mitigation plan is a risk agent that is in the ALARP and Intolerable categories (Xu et al., 2016) [30] , because it is considered to disrupt the red chili supply chain flow. Risk mitigation planning for red chili supply chain actors in Bali Province is presented in Table 3. Increase the frequency of searching for price information Building partnerships with collecting traders (Hayuningtyas, 2019) [17] Improving demand analysis according to the economic conditions being faced.

ALARP: Uncertainty of the number of demands

Price Fluctuation Distortion of price information Variation in quality supply in packaging Improve demand analysis according to the conditions encountered. Build partnerships with wholesalers and or collecting traders or integration between supply chain actors (Hayuningtyas, 2019) [17] . Increase the frequency of searching for price information by using the interne (Yan et al., 2017) [31] Sorting and grading, then determining different prices according to quality. When the price is high, the low-quality chilli is still sold, but when the price is low, the low-quality chilli is consumed for the family. Chilli with very poor quality will be returned to collecting traders and/or wholesalers. Retailers in modern markets make contracts with suppliers, including price, quantity, quality, delivery time, payment system. Source: Primary data (processed), 2021

The results show that the risk mitigation planning for each red chilli supply chain actor varies, so it is necessary to carry out an integrated risk mitigation plan according to the risk agent. Integrated risk mitigation planning as a mitigation strategy to improve the ability of the red chilli supply chain (Nooraie & Parast, 2016; Asrol et al., 2020) [20,32] . This also in line with Ray (2021) [23] , proposes a single approach is not sufficient to provide solutions in all types of risk scenarios; whereas, a combination of approaches is most effective, particularly in the supply chain of perishable agricultural products, price and demand uncertainty. Through the implementation of integrated supply chain management, it is hoped that consumers will get better product quality, better service, and lower price; retailers will get increased sales volume, faster and better process of procurement goods and selling them, stable prices, better profits; traders will get more controlled inventory, better product quality, and increased profits; and farmers as producers will get higher productivity and selling prices, so their incomes increase (Saptana et al., 2018) [25] .

Conclusion

Based on the results of the analysis and discussion, in the red chilli supply chain, 11 risk events and 13 risk agents have been identified at the farmer level, 14 risk events and 18 risk agents at the level of collecting traders, 11 risk events and 14 risk agents at the whole seller level, and nine risk agents, and 12 risk agents at retailer level. The highest risk in the Intolerable category is at the farmer level, while the highest risk in the other three supply chain actors is in the ALARP category. The risk mitigation planning for each red chilli supply chain actor varies, so it is necessary to carry out an integrated risk mitigation planning according to the risk agent.
