Supply Chain Security: Strategies for Improving Supply Chain Transparency and Integrity
No Customer Reviews
As global manufacturing and distribution capabilities have blossomed, the trade in substandard products has exploded. This trend is being amplified by the success of online marketplaces which make it easy to sell counterfeit or stolen goods, expired products and more.
As a result, manufacturers, retailers, and end users are becoming frequent targets for product fraud. In the past, supply chain professionals focused primarily on price or brand when making purchasing decisions, but today they need to start considering product integrity. Supply Chain Security shows how to assess these threats and develop strategies to mitigate the risk, including the use of new technologies such as RFID and blockchain. This practical guide explores the importance of understanding the provenance of your upstream supply chain, which is also key to addressing social issues such as slave labour, conflict minerals and environmental sustainability. Specifically, it focuses on the flow of physical materials and provides frameworks for assessing risk and developing effective countermeasures. It offers case studies from a variety of industries including aerospace, automotive, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, electronics, industrial equipment and fashion brands. With Supply Chain Security, readers will be armed with the knowledge of where to look for threats and how to secure their own supply chains.Format:Hardcover
