Horner International Ltd in strategic alliance with The University of Hull offers you the opportunity to undertake a short course in ‘Supply Chain Security’ a topic which has evolved since the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September 2001 from voluntary initiatives such as BASC & TAPA to mandatory requirements of the International Maritime Organisation covering ports and shipping (ISPS Code) as well as voluntary supply chain security initiatives from the World Customs Organisation, the European Union and the United States.
With the introduction of an international standard for supply chain security (ISO 28000), modeled on the quality management standard ISO 9000, security will increasingly become an issue of compliance in the future. Tomorrow’s executives working in shipping and the supply chain must be equipped with current knowledge of security initiatives, their shortcomings, the threats they face and be able to make informed decisions about security.
