The impact of supply chain security differs depending on where in the enterprise supply chain you are.
For someone in logistics, it’s about “Delivery in Full” — getting what they need, where they need it, when it’s needed.
For someone in manufacturing, it’s about making sure their goods aren’t stolen, copied, or replaced with counterfeits before it reaches its destination.
For someone running an enterprise, it’s about making sure goods get where they’re supposed to with the least risk to the company’s bottom line.
However you see it, supply chain security management ultimately is a set of policies, processes, and protective measures put in place to ensure that shipments in a supply chain aren’t prone to theft, damage, misappropriation, or forgery.
It also covers the protection of resources like vehicles, storage and distribution centers, information systems, and other assets that are vital to supply chain operations.
