Free Webinar: Implementing International Supply Chain Security

Expedite C-TPAT clearance with Supply Chain Manager.

(BSI: Reston, VA) -- For many companies, the supply chain is their lifeblood and can commonly hold millions of dollars worth of cargo at any given time. With this much value passing through the hands of third parties, it's vital that cargo arrive at its destination safely and on-time.

Attend our webinar, Aug. 6, 2009, 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. EST, to learn how to develop a best-in-class supply chain security compliance program through BSI America's newly launched Supplier Compliance Manager software program.

Renowned supply chain security specialist, Dan Purtell, will highlight global trade security compliance gaps and review cargo incident trends, which have led to program decertification with the U.S. Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT), European Union’s Authorized Economic Operator (AEO), and Canada’s Partners in Protection (PIP) programs.

A common requirement within each of these programs involves supplier risk assessments and conformance monitoring to security criteria. We will review how companies have implemented Supplier Compliance Manager throughout their international supply chain and are using this program to conduct risk-based supplier assessments which have resulted in significant savings and expedited cargo transit times.

Supplier Compliance Manager is BSI’s web-based software tool designed to facilitate, automate, and expedite your organization’s certification to C-TPAT, AEO, and PIP.
