Abstract:Given the increased probability of disruptions to global supply chains, and the significant impact these have on national and global economies, the problem is how to secure global trade. The concept of a global trade chain-of-custody has been developed for the pharmaceutical industry supported by RFID technology, although the technology has not achieved suitable reliability or functionality to warrant universal adoption. Beyond preliminary literature review and assessment, this study therefore did not focus efforts on further developing these concepts. Instead, the effort was refocused on developing the concepts of secure and resilient global supply chains. This included a focused study on resilient freight movements within the US, and the development of a risk management maturity model framework.
