Today the conditions of competition are much harsher and ruthless than before. Competition is increasing especially with the effect of globalization and this situation increases the importance of the companies that they attach to cost, quality and timely delivery. The ISO 28001 Supply Chain Security Management System standard draws attention to the critical security points in the supply chain of organizations connected in any way to the supply chain and gives them a new perspective. In this respect, Supply Chain Security Management System standards include, but are not limited to, production, production facilities, finance and information management.
The Supply Chain Security Management System supports both organizations in the industrial sector to evaluate and control security risks, and aims to reduce the impacts of security threats. The main objective of ISO 28001 standards is to minimize safety risks and thus to ensure the smooth and timely distribution of goods and materials. In short, the basic principles of the Supply Chain Security Management System are:
- To ensure the correct establishment and proper management of the supply chain.
- Minimize security risks.
- To help the distribution of goods and materials smoothly and on time.
Organizations now believe that an appropriate order should be established in the supply chain. In this way, customer service will be improved and unnecessary costs at various stages of product or service production can be reduced. For this, the potential risks in the supply chain must be determined and managed effectively. This is also of great importance for the continuity of the business.
