    Emerging Supply Chain Risks:Potential Damages and

    Mitigation Strategies

    Supply Chain Security

    Recent headlines reveal a painful

    truth: the Algerian gas plant

    attack, the Bangladesh textile

    fire, Hurricane Sandy, the

    T

    hoku earthquake and tsunami,and many other human and

    natural disasters show supply

    chains are at risk beyond just

    financial damages. In todays

    global economy regardless of

    your product or service your

    supply chain brings risks to

    your employees, your customers,

    your finances, your brand

    reputation, and even the

    survival of your business.

    As supply chains grow more and more complex, it is impossible to address all of the

    risks that make them vulnerable without the proper tools and support. To add to the

    complexity, todays supply chains include more than just cargo: they also include

    critical infrastructure such as power grids, communications, information technology,

    and other assets and services that do not travel on trucks, trains, ships, or planes.

    At times of crisis, your business depends on your ability to secure, administrate,

    and navigate your companys network of business relationships. On the positive

    side, if you can effectively protect and manage your supply chains, the ability to

    productively respond to stresses can yield important benefits, such as:

    Decreased losses and lower associated production costs

    Improved business continuity via a more robust, resilient, and responsive supply chain

    Greater end-to-end transparency for improved process management and efficiency

    Competitive advantages over industry rivals when supply chain risks arise

    BSI Emerging Supply Chain Risks: Potential Damages and Mitigation Strategies2

    Emerging Risks

    Its a simple fact that the number of touch points increases as products and services

    are globally sourced. More touch points mean more hands, more exchanges, more

    methods, more border crossings, and more opportunity for disruption incidents;

    all translating to more vulnerable assets.

    Categorizing Risk to Define StrategiesThe dynamic stressors exerting themselves on supply chains can be classified into four

    categories of specific business challenges: Security Compliance, Business Continuity,

    In-Transit Risks, and Brand Protection. Each challenge brings its own risks and costs,

    and each can be addressed with different strategies for risk mitigation.

    Compound more vulnerable assets

    with more valuable assets especially in

    sectors such as technology,

    pharmaceuticals, retail/apparel, and

    alcohol and tobacco and thieves be-

    come more brazen and creative, raising

    the potential for massive losses.

    In 2012, global supply chain crime

    amounted to $21.5 billion in losses.

    Further, the demand for low cost

    logistics and transportation in supply

    chains often runs counter to the goal

    of consistently enforcing security

    procedures, again raising risks.

    Similarly, the need for greater supply

    chain efficiency can compromise

    redundancy, making supply chains less

    flexible to stresses and disruptions.

    Finally, there is an increasing threat from

    terrorism, particularly for Western

    companies operating in regions hostile

    to Western worldviews. In supply chain

    terrorism, the aim of attack is generally

    to cause economic loss by disrupting

    the flow of commerce or to subvert

    supply chain resources in order to fund

    terrorist activities not necessarily to

    use violence for the sake of

    generating fear.

    The challenge: mitigating these risks can

    be both costly and resource intensive. Our

    business case shows that by deploying

    emerging management system standards

    and proven leading edge cost effective

    technology, an organization can mitigate

    these risks and recognize a return on

    investment as well.

    3Emerging Supply Chain Risks: Potential Damages and Mitigation Strategies BSI

    Security Compliance

    Supply chain security can include credentialing members of the

    supply chain, screening and validating the contents of cargo,

    securing cargo in-transit with security devices, and of course

    inspecting cargo upon arrival.

    According to the Department of

    Homeland Security, infrastructures

    (including communications and

    information technology) must also be

    considered when building an overall

    supply chain security strategy. A recent

    survey by the Zurich Insurance Group

    showed that 73% of organizations

    recorded at least one supply chain

    disruption in 2012 [and] the leading

    cause of supply chain disruption isunplanned IT or telecom outages.2

    There are many security initiatives

    currently in effect, and compliance

    with specific initiatives can yield strong

    benefits when managed effectively.

    The Customs-Trade Partnership Against

    Terrorism (C-TPAT3), Partners in Protection

    (PIP4), and EU Authorized Economic

    Operator (AEO5) are among the growing

    number of country-specific initiatives

    designed to improve supply chain andborder security efforts worldwide.

    For importers, the benefits of compliance

    include expedited processing of customs

    entries, reduced number of inspections

    resulting in fewer cargo delays, and

    potentially faster border transportation

    times all reducing costs for importers.

    Yet, it can be challenging to manage

    downstream audits and maintain

    necessary paperwork. C-TPAT for instance

    is a voluntary program requiring all

    supply chain partners downstream

    to conform to the standard a

    requirement that can be difficult to

    manage. This is where experience and

    guidance can help prepare and support

    your company for compliance. The

    application and implementation of

    unique tools such as Supplier

    Compliance Manager (SCM) to

    maintain C-TPAT certification and ensure

    partners are conforming to securityrequirements can help.

    Importers to other countries have similar

    challenges; PIP for Canada importers and

    AEO for importers to the European

    Union. Compliance brings significant

    benefits, though it is again difficult to

    manage downstream audits and main-

    tain necessary paperwork. Tools such as

    BSIs Supplier Compliance Manager and

    Supply Chain Risk Exposure Evaluation

    Network (SCREENSM) can make managing

    and reporting supplier risk data a morestreamlined process for PIP and AEO

    compliance.

    BSI Emerging Supply Chain Risks: Potential Damages and Mitigation Strategies4

    Business Continuity

    While disaster recovery is a key piece of

    business continuity, for supply chain

    management any business continuity

    effort must account for more than

    natural disasters, supplier redundancy,

    and political stability as political

    instabilitycan produce boycotts, strikes,

    protests, slowed custom clearances, port

    outages, etc. Recent examples of natural

    and man-made disasters include the

    tsunami in Japan, the Arab SpringMiddle East awakening, anti-austerity

    protests in Europe, and the Occupy

    movement in the United States.

    While manufacturers spend years and

    fortunes building global supply chains,

    natural disasters can devastate

    business ecosystems in a matter of

    minutes. The November 2011 floods in

    Thailand killed more than 600 people,

    knocked out auto and electronics

    suppliers, and forced production delaysin plants in the United States for weeks.6

    As a result of that regions natural

    disaster, Seagate Technology passed

    former market leader Western Digital

    Corp. for the worldwide lead in hard

    disk drive shipments. Western Digital

    suffered heavy losses in the Thailand

    floods, seeing about 75% of its

    production temporarily shut down,

    while Seagate owes its return to market

    leadership to a fortuitous accident in

    geography: Its HDD manufacturing plantin Thailand is located on high ground.7

    Similar natural disasters around the

    Pacific in 2011 caused over $282 billion

    dollars in recovery costs (see chart).

    To mitigate losses, many companies

    look at a holistic approach to business

    continuity by utilizing both technology

    and deploying management system

    standards such as ISO 22301:2012. BSIs

    SCM tool can plot areas that might be

    affected by real-time natural disasters

    hurricanes, flooding, etc. as well as

    potential ongoing threats like seismic

    activity, alerting business to areas of their

    supply chain that might suffer impact,

    while ISO 22301:2012 can specify

    requirements for implementing and

    managing an effective Business

    Continuity Management System (BCMS)

    that will provide a consistent approach

    across your organization on how

    interruptions are handled and recovered.

    Supplier redundancy is another key issue

    for the business continuity of supply

    chains. Unless we accept that our supply

    chains will run dry from time to time due

    to unexpected problems, redundancy is a

    necessary part of lean systems, writes

    Jon Miller for Quality Digest.8 It is often

    difficult to strike the right balance be-

    tween supply chain efficiency (lower

    costs) and redundancy (higher business

    continuity), but having that balancecan be critical when key suppliers

    face stoppages.

    The March 2012 explosion at a German

    plant that produced PA-12 resin a

    critical liner for automotive fuel lines and

    brake lines negatively affected

    Business Continuity spans both planning and the day-to-day activities

    necessary to ensure that critical business functions will be available

    to your customers, partners, and suppliers without disruption,

    regardless of adverse events.

    5Emerging Supply Chain Risks: Potential Damages and Mitigation Strategies BSI

    We now live in a world where the largest shoemaker doesnt actually

    make shoes, but only designs and sells them. A world where the

    largest direct seller of personal computers doesnt so much

    manufacture its products as it assembles them from componentssourced elsewhere.

    In one industry after another, supply chains have been stretched

    farther than they have ever been stretched in the past - even as lean,

    just-in-time production schedules have made the consequences of a

    break more severe.8

    automobile manufacturers around

    the world who thoughtthey had built

    redundancy in their supply chains by

    sourcing the product from up to three

    suppliers each. However, every one of

    those suppliers purchased their product

    from the same plant that burned.

    The explosion at the Evonik plant killed

    two employees and not only impacted

    production of the key resin but also

    destroyed the production equipment

    for CDT, one of the key chemicals for

    producing the PA-12 resin, said the

    Detroit Bureau at the time. With Evonik

    one of the most essential suppliers of

    CDT used by other PA-12 manufacturers,

    it is unclear if alternative sources can

    be found - and, if so, how quickly theycould ramp up production to cover for

    the losses.9

    Political instability also increases

    supply chain risk with the potential

    to significantly disrupt the flow of

    international trade. Assessing the role

    and effectiveness of national and

    local governance is critical to

    understanding the risk environment

    of your supply chains.

    Each country has a unique population

    and culture which impact its economy

    and trade and define its transportation

    infrastructure, export controls, security

    practices, and general governance.

    Knowing the levels of corruption and the

    governments effectiveness to suppress

    and control crime is key to establishing a

    risk rating in the countries that are part

    of your supply chain.

    Understanding how the EU recession

    is increasing the frequency of supply

    chain attacks, how anti-austerity

    protests in Western Europe might

    impact transportation, or how the

    Senkaku-Diaoyu Island dispute between

    China and Japan might impact tradelines are all examples of how important it

    is to assess the real-time political stability

    of your supply chain countries.

    Detailed analysis of the political stability

    and potential disruption factors of

    individual countries can help mitigate

    supply chain risks, especially when

    unplanned IT or telecom outages are a

    common disruption and 90% or more

    of cargo disruptions occur within yoursuppliers control of your goods.

    BSI Emerging Supply Chain Risks: Potential Damages and Mitigation Strategies6

    In-Transit Risks

    Cargo disruptions and theft follow both

    ancient and modern paths, from piracyand hijackings to smuggling and complex

    fraud. The FBI states that cargo theft is a

    gateway crime that typically turns into a

    larger case involving organized crime, pub-

    lic corruption, health care fraud, insurance

    fraud, drug trafficking, money laundering,

    or possibly even terrorism.10

    An analysis of incident reports from BSIs

    SCREEN tool indicates that California,

    Florida, New Jersey, and Texas are all

    known to be cargo theft hotspots in theUnited States, while in Europe, the United

    Kingdom, Spain, and Italy all suffer from

    higher-than-average rates of cargo theft.

    The emerging economies of Brazil, India,

    China, Russia, and South Africa also have

    high theft rates, and cargo thieves are

    quickly evolving in response to security

    policies and law enforcement.

    Traceability is the ability to verify the

    origin, location, or application of an

    item by means of documented recordedidentification. In the case of supply

    chains, traceability refers to the ability to

    document and report the entire chain of

    custody of an asset as it travels through

    the supply chain. Crucially, gaps in

    traceability raise the risk of counterfeiting ,

    product tampering, and shipment

    integrity which can lead to un-manifested

    cargo introduction.

    To combat these losses, companies like

    BSI offer cargo disruption threat-level

    ratings for hundreds of countries and

    maintains an active, proprietary database

    of cargo disruption and loss rates span-

    ning years and trillions of dollars worth of

    cargo movement. BSIs database enablesBSI clients to assess supply chain security

    by quantifying cargo tampering and un-

    manifested cargo risk at the country level.

    As a result of greater supply chain risks,

    insurance costs will continue to climb.

    Contingent Business Interruption (CBI)

    insurance, Extra Expense insurance, and

    other policies may partially shield compa-

    nies from financial disaster, but rising

    rates are inevitable as new supply chain

    risks emerge and impact their markets.

    Recently, a pharmaceutical company

    issued a warning after cargo thieves stole

    600 injections of a flu vaccine from a

    truck near Wiesbaden, Germany. The

    thieves forced open the back of the

    truck in order to gain access to the

    pharmaceuticals, and stole two boxes of

    the vaccine in the process. The safety of

    the stolen vaccines could no longer be

    guaranteed, as the chain of custody and

    necessary cold storage conditions likelywere not maintained.

    BSI analysis notes that Germany is safer

    from a cargo disruption perspective than

    its neighbors to the east and west, though

    cargo thefts have been known to occur on

    occasion in the country. This incident illus

    trates the fragility of the pharmaceutical

    supply chain, and demonstrates how evensmall thefts can have significant second-

    order effects on the supply chain.

    Finally, supply chain terrorism, as

    previously mentioned, is increasing for

    Western companies operating in regions

    hostile to Western worldview

    specifically where the aim of the attack is

    to cause economic loss by disrupting the

    flow of commerce, or where terrorist

    groups may exploit the supply chain to

    fund their activities.

    When analyzing the threat of terrorism

    on supply chains, it is important to focus

    on groups which hold anti-Western

    ideologies, as these groups are more

    likely to specifically target Western

    businesses operating abroad. BSI provides

    intelligence and associated threat levels

    related to supply chain terrorism risk in

    over 200 countries, analyzing terrorism

    threats that directly impact Western

    supply chains.

    There are multiple risks arising

    from the transit of goods across

    a supply chain. Ready examples

    include cargo disruption/theft,

    counterfeiting, and supply chainterrorism. Secondary risks

    include insurance increases and

    the cost of expedited shipping to

    replace lost goods, which creates

    downstream financial impacts.

    7Emerging Supply Chain Risks: Potential Damages and Mitigation Strategies BSI

    Brand Protection

    Understanding your suppliers business

    practices from how their employees

    are treated to how they impact the

    environment is a key aspect of

    Corporate Social Responsibility. Social

    responsibility issues arise when the lack

    of traceability (the true chain of custody

    of products from origin to dock) might

    make a company vulnerable; when

    supply chain behavior violates company

    ethics, principles, differentiators; or whensuppliers put customer/market trust on

    the line without your knowledge. For

    instance, the December 2012 fire in a

    Bangladesh textile factory that killed 112

    people due to hazardous conditions was

    linked closely to a Fortune 100 company

    afterwards, causing harm to the

    company brand.

    Integrity of the supply chain has even

    wider implications to a society chal-

    lenged by political and/or narco-terroristorganizations that may leverage supply

    chain vulnerability for their own gain.

    BSI analysis notes that drug cartels have

    long been involved in extortion and theft

    of cargo in Mexico, underscoring the

    severe threat of cargo theft in the

    country. For example, in May 2012,

    Members of the Knights Templar cartel

    in Mexico torched five separate

    warehouses and vehicle lots belonging to

    a subsidiary of a U.S. food giant in the

    states of Michoacan and Guanajuato.Drug cartels typically target small and

    medium-sized businesses for extortion,

    and this is believed to be the first time a

    transnational company has been tar-

    geted in such attacks.

    Counterfeiting is a huge threat to

    pharmaceutical, health, and chemical

    companies, as well as high-tech and

    retail/apparel firms. Incidents of

    counterfeiting reported by drug makers

    have increased steadily over the past

    decade, though only about 5 percent of

    cases are typically reported in the U.S.

    The rise in counterfeiting comes as

    pharmaceutical supply chains

    increasingly stretch across continents.More than 80 percent of the active

    ingredients used in U.S. pharmaceuticals

    are now manufactured overseas, accord-

    ing to a recent congressional report.12

    Not only does counterfeiting

    compromise brand and intellectual

    property rights, but directly impacts

    revenues. According to the Organization

    for Economic Co-Operation and

    Development (OECD), up to USD $200

    billion of internationally traded products

    could have been counterfeit or pirated in2005. This amount is larger than the

    national GDPs of about 150 economies.13

    Brand protection is typically viewed as a cross-functional discipline uniting security, supply chain,

    research and development, legal, quality, government affairs, public relations, and marketing.

    Focusing on the supply chain, brand protection requires mitigating four specific risk areas:

    social responsibility, counterfeiting, un-manifested cargo, and intellectual property rights.

    BSI Emerging Supply Chain Risks: Potential Damages and Mitigation Strategies8

    For companies, the reputational costs of

    unmanifested cargo introduction can be

    high, and the discovery of contraband in

    cargo is a leading cause of decertifica-

    tion in the United States C-TPAT

    program. The illegal movement of arms

    and drugs concerns governments as

    well, since smuggled arms can often end

    up in the hands of terrorists or guerilla

    groups and drug trafficking may fund

    other destabilizing criminal activity. Aswith cargo theft, smugglers are

    constantly adapting to new contraband

    detection techniques. Illegal drugs

    typically move along well-established

    smuggling routes that frequently

    coincide with legitimate commercial

    trade routes.11

    At the busiest crossing point between

    the United States and Mexico, the Laredo

    port of entry, 1.6 million cargo trucks

    passed between the two countries.Drug smugglers take advantage of this

    high volume of traffic to conceal cocaine,

    marijuana, and amphetamines in

    legitimate cargo shipments bound for

    the United States. In Eastern Europe

    and Turkey, traffickers conceal heroin

    among shipments in the two million

    commercial trucks transiting into Europe.

    It is estimated that only one out of 50

    of these cargo trucks are checked for

    contraband once they enter Europe.

    Illicit drugs and other contraband are

    found in air- and sea-borne cargo

    shipments as well. As authorities tighten

    enforcement efforts at land borders,

    traffickers often move to other

    modalities for smuggling opportunities.

    Recently, the Caribbean has emerged as

    a transshipment destination for drugs

    hidden in cargo shipments bound for

    the United States and Europe.

    Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) issues

    arise as supply chains reach through

    countries with lax Intellectual Property

    or unenforced shipping laws. In such

    places, the opportunities to have

    products counterfeited, substituted,

    or transported without proper

    documentation is a very real risk

    for everything from luxury to

    pharmaceuticals. While the brand

    impacts of counterfeiting and IPR

    violations are immediate, in the case

    of healthcare, pharmaceutical, and

    chemical products, such counterfeiting

    and substitution also carry the risk of

    injury or death to consumers. TheChicago Tylenol murders of the early

    1980s, where seven people died after

    taking poisoned Tylenol capsules,

    remains a testament to the massive

    losses possible when protections fail.

    Unmanifested cargo is the introduction of illicit (or

    contraband) cargo into legitimate cargo. Common

    examples include the smuggling of narcotics, weapons,

    explosives, or other illegal items hidden within legal imports.

    9Emerging Supply Chain Risks: Potential Damages and Mitigation Strategies BSI

    How Companies Are Responding

    Consider the following recent statistics:

    More than 90% of industry experts

    surveyed believe that supply chain and

    transport risk management are greater

    priorities in their companies today thanfive years ago.14

    Despite the known dangers and costs

    of supply chain disruptions, only 21% of

    companies assess value and supply

    chain risk continuously.15

    Less than 8% of companies could

    confidently state that all of their key

    suppliers have business continuity

    arrangements in place.16

    It is undesirable for organizations toenforce their own approach to security

    and business continuity management

    (BCM) down their supply chains. While a

    supplier can run different quality systems

    to meet the requirements of its customer

    base, it cannot run different (and possibly

    conflicting) security and BCM systems,

    which would be used during a disruption

    at a time when tensions are high. As

    such, monitoring the supply-chain can be

    a daunting task and businesses need the

    proper training and tools that will allowthem to assess, monitor, and manage

    supply chain risks.

    By implementing a holistic,

    enterprise-wide supply chain risk

    management program, companies

    also can uphold their commitment to

    providing strong corporate governance

    on behalf of shareholders, whichultimately boosts shareholder value,

    continues Bosman. Companies that

    dont are, in a very real sense, working

    without a safety net.17

    Further, businesses need the support to

    conduct supply chain vulnerability audits,

    formulate more detailed risk mitigation

    strategies, and transfer that analysis to

    actionable business continuity plans. By

    strategically implementing a standards-

    based management system, along withthe proper training and field validated

    tools, you can achieve greater confidence

    that you will be capable of maintaining

    continuity of operations when disruptive

    incidents occur.

    Most businesses are unprepared for the emerging risks their supply chains

    present. They fail to plan for the unthinkable the devastating hurricane, the

    shocking terrorist attack, or the collapse of an important supplier in the wake of

    political upheaval or accounting fraud, writes Ruud Bosman, executive vice-

    president of Factory Mutual Insurance Company (FM Global), an insuranceprovider. Conversely, some companies fail to appreciate the dramatic

    consequences that even a seemingly minor supply chain disruption can trigger.17

    Expanding the role of Supply Chain

    Managers to better recognize, analyze,

    and respond to risk.

    Improving visibility across the entire

    supply chain as Transparency is a

    critical component in building supply

    chains that are resilient.18 Companies

    need to track the completion ofsecurity risk assessments based on

    compliance requirements, review

    their compliance and risk status,

    and reporting on an organizations

    overall compliance.

    Accessing high-level country and

    regional risk analysis, including risk

    data and analysis related to global

    supply chain risk exposure for both

    security and business continuity, as

    well as trade and compliance

    plan for suppliers who dont meet

    requirements

    The first step in addressing risks is recognizing and understanding risks,

    including a quantifiable measure of the risk since measuring risk is a

    key aspect to managing risk. Mitigating risk and having a solid

    management system plan equates to cost avoidance.

    11Emerging Supply Chain Risks: Potential Damages and Mitigation Strategies BSI

    Emerging Risk Mitigation Strategies

    However, countermeasures and

    mitigating strategies are evolving and

    BSI has the leading technology and

    business standards knowledge to

    help you address new supply chain

    risks. Emerging risk mitigation

    strategies include:

    Research, analysis, training, and guid-

    ance to support your company through

    supply chain security efforts such asC-TPAT, PIP, or AEO Review and Support,

    Security Criteria Gap Analysis, Financial

    Risk Exposure Review, and Continual

    Improvement Support.

    Business continuity management stan-

    dards such as ISO 22301:2012.

    Comprehensive supply chain security

    intelligence resources, including trade

    and compliance intelligence, global

    supply chain security risk data

    and analysis.

    Supplier oversight and cargo

    custody controls.

    Real-time trade interruption updates

    and reports on major disruption inci-

    dents, countermeasure programs, and

    risk mitigation best practices.

    Country-specific reports on Supply

    Chain Terrorism, Cargo Disruption,

    Business and Political Climate,

    Population and Culture, Economy and

    Trade, Transportation Infrastructure,

    General Governance, Export Control

    Governance, Employer Security

    Practices, and Customs-Trade Supply

    Chain Security Programs.

    Thorough vetting of your supply chain

    and participating firms supplier base.

    Automate the mandatory supplier

    risk assessments.

    Anti-Western terrorism and cargo

    disruption data, compliant with C-TPAT,

    PIP, and AEO.

    Global cargo tampering data and

    terrorism risk modeling.

    By engaging these supply chain

    strategies, businesses can mitigate

    their financial, compliance, political,

    and brand-related risks. They can also

    benefit from:

    Decreased losses and lower

    associated production costs.

    Improved business continuity via a more

    robust, resilient, and responsive

    supply chain.

    Improved process management and

    efficiency with greater end-to-end

    transparency.

    Gaining competitive advantages over

    industry rivals when supply chain

    risks arise.

    Supply chains are growing more complex with increasing pressure to operate with

    maximum speed and efficiency. With global touch points and exposure, it is more

    and more difficult for businesses to achieve security compliance and business

    continuity, manage in-transit risks, and protect their brands.
