Supply chain security appears to be overlooked in supply chain risk management. However, supply chain security can add to the robustness and resileince of the overall supply chain, providing a “safety net” of services that protects and enhances the overall supply chain operation.
Today’s supply chains circle the globe and form the backbone of world trade and a are major factor in the global economy, and this increasingly tighter connected world is also increasingly dangerous, and it thus imperative to secure supply chains against any form of man-made and natural disruption.
Security concerns are an issue of importance in any supply chain. This paper presents the current state of initiatives in supply chain security management, and discusses their managerial implications, highlighting the importance of interplay between various business and governmental parties.
ISO 28002 – Security management systems for the supply chain – Development of resilience in the supply chain – details how an organization can engage in a comprehensive and systematic process of prevention, protection, preparedness, mitigation, response, continuity and recovery.
Many books on supply chain risk do not deal explicitly with supply chain security; at best it is one of many aspects of discussion. This books takes supply chain security a long step forward, as it provides a cross-section of current research and future issues.
The complex interaction of ports, maritime operations and supply chains creates vulnerabilities that requires analysis that extends beyond the immediate visible.
Is it possible to reconcile supply chain vulnerability, risk and supply chain management with corporate governance, business continuity, national security and emergency planning?
SecureSCM is an EU-funded research project aimed at finding secure computation protocols for collaborative Supply Chain Management. The project brings together researchers from mathematics, computer science, information systems and management to work together to solve this common problem.
The article claims to have found four approaches in the literature on how organizations approach supply chain security.
Already in 2005, the IBM Center for the Business of Government published “Investing in Supply Chain Security: Collateral Benefits”, a report which highlights how certain security investments can create collateral benefits well beyond the immediate security breach they were aimed at.
The primary purpose of this book is to collect and share various streams of research and trends in supply chain risk, predominantly from the ISCRIM (International Supply Chain Risk Management) network.
Daniel Ekwall’s thesis combines theories from criminology with theories from logistics and supply chain management to examine cross-over points or antagonistic gateways between the legal and illegal logistics system from a supply chain perspective.
Are you gambling with your supply network? You should be aware that the supply network is inherently vulnerable to disruption and the failure of any one element in it could cause the whole network to fail. Actions to improve security can be classified into three categories: Physical security, Information security, Freight security. Actions to improve resilience can be be divided into: Flexibility, Redundancy.
