Terrorism and Global Supply Chain
Globalization, stricter security regimes, and increasingly sophisticated criminal activity have made cross-border cargo movements more complex, putting the integrity of end-to-end supply chains at much greater risk. As an executive from a global electronics manufacturer that operates in more than 150 countries put it recently, "We can have the most incredible manufacturing and the supply chain dies as soon as it hits the border." This presentation will look at the security environment as it has evolved since 9-11 and touch on some of the major trends facing supply chain professionals today.
