Abstract
Modern supply chains are complex, which makes them
vulnerable to security incidents. The objective of this
paper is to evaluate supply chain tracking and monitoring
concepts and to identify new ideas and business
opportunities for security services in logistic
multi-stakeholder networks. By adding tracking equipment,
the security of supply chains can be improved through
real time monitoring. Security benefits include the
collection of concrete knowledge of security incidents,
possibilities to react in real time and to minimise
consequences. Developments in sensor and communication
technologies allow new supply chain monitoring concepts,
and hence new business opportunities. The paper describes
the experiences gained in several European and Finnish
national projects regarding monitoring technology and the
improvement of supply chain security. A critical analysis
of the benefits and limitations of implementation of
tracking technology is also been described.
