Supply chain in agriculture has the high complexity on logistic system. According on scope of this paper, business processes on palm oil industry include flow of Fruit Fresh Bunch (FFB) from plantation to the customer as derivative product of palm oil. There are several flows that linkage among entities within logistic system involving plantation, processing industry, storage, Industry of palm oil derivative product and market. This paper presents state of the art of improvement on performance measurement which identifies its indicator using simulation software. Finding on this review will be developed into research directions for further research. It is necessary to note that simulation software can simplify business process and improve the performance indicator in the logistic system.
