Description
The goal of security within the supply chain and transportation infrastructure is to effectively mitigate risks while facilitating commerce. Security and business protection measures are at the core of how to maintain consistent and strategic business operations. These expenses are assets that promote reliability to customers, but also serve as valuable ROI to further enhance the business. Focusing on economic and business objectives, this book examines the transportation infrastructure. Chapters cover the supply chain, logistics, transportation security issues, and specific transportation modalities as well as the legal and regulatory frameworks that encompass them.
