First Advantage Supply Chain Compliance Manager
Dec 6, 2007 9:52 AM
The Supplier Compliance Manager is a Web-based software tool from First Advantage Corp. that automates the collection and analysis of business partner risk information for compliance with the Custom Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) program. Based on supplier responses to modal-specific and customized online questionnaires, the software eliminates subjectivity by using mathematical modeling to analyze and score exposures. Dashboard-style reporting includes pooled or individual results and allows for the display of an entire supplier base with as much detail as required. Assessment requests, reminders and results can be e-mailed to suppliers individually or as a group and can be automatically translated in English, Spanish, Japanese or Mandarin. After analyzing data, the manager provides suppliers with three scores: a Security Assessment Score, which ranks each partner against C-TPAT standards; a Country Risk Index, which measures terrorism activity through the analysis of more than 800 terrorist groups in more than 200 countries; and a Supplier Risk Index, which uses an algorithm to measure the risk of introducing unmanifested cargo into the supply chain.
