ISO 28000 is an international standard that defines the requirements of the Supply Chain Security Management System and provides a management model to organizations wishing to implement this system. It aims to manage the risks effectively by putting the activities of the organization on supply chain security under the same umbrella as other management systems. This new standard of management system provides a framework that draws attention to critical security points in the supply chain to organizations connected in any way to the supply chain. In this context, the supply chain is a series of resources and processes that relate to each other, starting with the supply of raw materials and extending the product and service to reach the end user through different transportation methods. Finance includes, but is not limited to, production information management and production facilities.
Increasing competition with the effect of globalization increases the importance that companies attach to cost, timely delivery and quality. This standard provides a new framework that draws attention to critical security points in the supply chain to organizations that are in any way connected to the supply chain. This framework includes, but is not limited to, finance, production, information management and production facilities. On the one hand, it supports organizations operating in all industry sectors in evaluating and controlling security risks, on the other hand, it aims to reduce the effects that may arise from security threats and uses basic management principles such as quality, work safety and customer satisfaction management. The ISO 28000 standard helps to minimize security risks and thus ensure the timely and problem-free distribution of goods and materials.
ISO 28000 is a security model for every organization involved in a supply chain, providing security in production, storage and distribution (including road, rail, sea and airline) along the way to the buyer. With the implementation of a security system according to IS0 28000, an organization increases its reliability and security throughout its supply chain. Products that have a high value or pose a danger can be transported worldwide and stored more securely. This model is designed for organizations that want to increase their security processes in prevention, enforcement, traceability and documentation. Moreover, a security management system makes a significant contribution to increased safety awareness at all levels of the organization. According to ISO 20000, security models that have already been implemented (AEO, C-TPAT, TAPA etc.) can be collected within a comprehensive system. Internationally active organizations thus have a faster, more cost-effective and better documented processing of their daily work.
