SSP C-TPAT Process

SSP has developed a process to assist clients in obtaining their C-TPAT certification of compliance. Our programmed approach to performing the compliance checks results in a rigorous assessment of your supply chain security and provides you with a documented application for certification that is accurate and complete. The advantages of submitting your application for certification early are important since Customs is severely backlogged with thousands of pending applications. They are sure to reject those that do not meet all criteria. This document outlines the SSP process for conducting the supply chain audits and preparing your aplication for certification.

Strategic Planning

Sample Strategic Plan

Strategic planning is a management tool, period. As with any management tool, it is used for one purpose only: to help an organization do a better job - to focus its energy, to ensure that members of the organization are working toward the same goals, to assess and adjust the organization's direction in response to a changing environment. In short, strategic planning is a disciplined effort to produce fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, what it does, and why it does it, with a focus on the future.
