Supply Chain - Supply Chain Risk Management

A transportation risk process is used to characterize and manage transportation risk. PPG uses this process to determine:

• Hazard characteristics of products
• Appropriate modes of transport (e.g. rail versus highway)
• Carrier selection and qualifications
• Packaging and container specifications
• Driver training requirements
• Security precautions
• Customer assessment

In certain situations, further risk evaluations may be necessary to determine if additional risk reduction activities should be considered.
