The supply chain is a complex system, comprised of numerous entities integrated into the cargo, transportation, storage, documentation, and handling of its material goods. Each entity has its own unique relationship with the chain and its own security requirements. Securing the supply chain is not just a domestic issue. In the 21st century global economy, it is an international one. Companies must integrate security into supply chain logistics to protect their employees, assets, and clients from negative events that can have an adverse impact on their fiscal health. The book illustrates how a provider can institute and employ sound supply chain, logistics and transportation security practices to increase business-demonstrating to their stakeholders and potential customers that they provide a secure environment for materials, products, goods, and cargo.
