Supply chain security
This programme examines contemporary supply
chain security initiatives to equip delegates with the skills to
make informed evaluation and purchasing decisions about supply
chain security.
Supply chain security has evolved not only in
repsonse to international events of terrorism, but also from
voluntary initiatives, mandatory requirements initiatives from the
World Customs Organisation, the European Union and the United
States.
Coupled with the introduction of an
international standard for supply chain security (ISO 28000),
security will increasingly become an issue of compliance in the
future.
Tomorrow’s executives working in shipping and
the supply chain must be equipped with current knowledge of
security initiatives, their shortcomings, the threats they face and
be able to make informed decisions about
security.
