Understanding
Supply Chain Event Management
One of the
newest morsels on the tech industry's buffet of buzzwords is Supply Chain
Event Management (SCEM). And though, in the past, enterprise software
buyers seemingly displayed an insatiable appetite for the latest acronym,
times have changed. A tighter economy and jaded IT community have analysts
trying harder to define SCEM and corporate managers working diligently to
understand whether or not they need it.
Unlike CRM and some other popular "techronyms," SCEM hasn't
ballooned into an all-encompassing category of its own with blurry
boundaries. Analysts appear to agree that

ISA 2000 represents a departure from the usual approach to managing health
and safety. Its starting point is not legislation but good management
practice. The rationale for this is simple - occupational health and
safety legislation is invariably based on good practice, but not all good
practice is enshrined in legislation. Logically, therefore, using good
practice as the starting point should result in a more comprehensive and
effective control system which automatically ensures compliance with the
law - and this is what ISA 2000 provides. It also provides an extremely
useful mechanism for complying with the new OH&S standard for BSI -
OHSAS 1800l.
The system contains a set of initiatives, comprising 233 individual
elements, which cover the entire spectrum of occupational health and
safety. These are laid out in a formal structure that facilitates the
building of the system and auditing it later on. Volume 1 contains those
elements that should be implemented as part of the health and safety
management system of any company in any industry sector. They have been
selected to provide management controls against the general hazards
encountered in all workplaces, large or small, and as such reflect minimum
compliance with fundamental safety law. Volume 2 contains further elements
that may need to be included for reasons of legal requirement, or the
particular circumstances of the organization such as the industry sector.
The elements are described in detail, with practical advice on how they
can be implemented, together with samples of procedures, forms and
checklists.
ISA 2000 is a practical approach to health and safety, enabling busy
managers to organize effectively their existing efforts and ensuring that
scarce resources are deployed in the most cost-effective manner. Can you
afford to be without it?
Reviews
'... it is a valuable publication that anyone responsible for managing
health and safety could profitably read. For those who use a system, it is
a valuable document, against which to measure the system they use.' Health
and Safety Review, March 2000
'The calibre of the authors shows through in the clear and concise
presentation of the topics within ISA 2000. Any newcomer to the topic
should have no difficulty getting to grips with it … This reviewer has
taken the opportunity to use some of the chapters - such as the ones on
"audit" and "accident management initiatives" - and
found them to be first class.' Safety and Health Practitioner, September
2001
