Assessing Container Security: A Framework for Measuring Performance of the Global Supply Chain

Overview Since 9/11, several programs have been implemented to improve security of the global supply chain. In reviewing these programs, this paper concludes that supply chain efficiency and security are distinct but interconnected and recommends considering all aspects of supply-chain performance when assessing security measures. Also, programs to improve supply-chain security have focused largely on preventing and deterring terrorist attacks, with little focus on improving the supply chain's fault tolerance or resilience.
