Supply Chain Security
Security throughout transportation, storage, shipping and receiving of cargo is addressed. The concept of proactive versus reactive, planning and the overall needs of a security operation are discussed. Specific security systems are discussed, as well as the creation and implementation of security policies. A Security Design section of the program looks at ways to maximize the security benefit within operational (financial and aesthetic) constraints.
