Literature Review:
In Malaysia, all KFC products are given Halal status by JAKIM and therefore the overall supply chain activity is Halal and no non- Halal/Haram elements involved. Although exported goods are Halal, the import and export activities for example handling, storage packaging/repackaging sometimes caused the Halal status to be questionable. This is because there are loopholes within the supply chain network where the KFC Halal products are mix together during storage or handling activities, with non-Halal products such as port meat or its byproducts and alcoholic beverages. In Malaysia, material handling tools for Halal and non- Halal products are separated but in overseas market, this practice is discarded. In Moreover, during storage and warehousing activities, the exported goods are stored together with non-Halal product and this will void the Halal status of the products. In Singapore, there are no regulation restricting the separation between Halal and non-Halal food products to be stored together, so long as there are meat juices from the non-Halal products, Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS) still acknowledge the products are Halal.

In short we can say the Supply chain management of KFC has a positive impact on profit maximization by considering following:
