MEANING AND SCOPE:
The standard ISO / PAS 28000 is the standard for Safety Management Systems at Supply Chains and specifies the requirements to be met by an agency to establish, implement, maintain and improve a security management system.
Aimed at:
All businesses – organizations of all sizes and types, operating within the supply chain, eg production, services, transportation, storage, etc.
METHODOLOGY FOR DEVELOPING THE SYSTEM:
- Presentation of the status quo – Create ISO 28000 Group
- Products – Services Data Collection
- Establish procedures for documentation and verification of system
- Write job descriptions, work instructions, forms, specifications, manuals
- Policy documentation and registration of objectives
- Internal inspections
- System certification under ISO 28000 by an independent certification body (license valid for 3 years), assessment by the organization and renewal every year
- Corrective action after certification
- System Monitor
EXPECTED BENEFITS:
The model is designed:
- To help reduce the risk of accidents
- To ensure smooth and on schedule supply of goods
- To improve the efficiency and timely completion of processes, such as transportation, customs control, inventory control, etc.
- To analyze risks and threats on security issues in the supply chain
REASON TO ADOPT ISO 28000 SYSTEM
- Pressures from the external environment, eg:
- Risks such as terrorism, smuggling, theft and bribery can occur anywhere in the international supply chain, causing significant, material or other, losses to businesses.
- Internal needs, eg :
- Many companies rely heavily on the supply chain, and are particularly vulnerable if the supply chain is interrupted. For these companies security of the supply chain is directly linked to their sustainability.
