Total Security Management (TSM) is the business practice of developing and implementing comprehensive risk management and security practices for a firm’s entire value chain. This business process improvement strategy seeks to create added value for companies by managing security and resilience requirements as core business functions rather than as reactionary expenditures. TSM implementation involves a thorough evaluation of key internal and external stakeholders, distribution channels, and policies and procedures in terms of a firm’s level of preparedness for a variety of disruptive events. TSM encourages companies to manage security initiatives as investments with a measurable return and seeks to transform security from a net cost to a net benefit. In applying TSM, the theory holds that companies may be able to realize cost savings, improve business processes, reduce theft, enhance asset management, increase brand equity and goodwill, and improve preparedness and resiliency.〔Luke Ritter, J Michael Barrett, and Rosalyn Wilson, ''Securing Global Transportation Networks'', 2007, "http://books.google.com/books?id=8LhHTuCjzzcC&printsec=frontcover&dq=securing+global+transportation+networks&cd=1#v=onepage&q&f=false", 5/5/10〕 == Formulation == The concept of Total Security Management was first introduced in the book ''Securing Global Transportation Networks: A Total Security Management Approach'', published by McGraw Hill in 2006. This title was co-authored by Luke Ritter, J Michael Barrett, and Rosalyn Wilson, with the Foreword written by Governor Tom Ridge, the first U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security. According to Secretary Ridge, the book offers a, “comprehensive solution for approaching security in the context of sound business practices.”〔Luke Ritter, J Michael Barrett, and Rosalyn Wilson, ''Securing Global Transportation Networks'', 2007, "http://books.google.com/books?id=8LhHTuCjzzcC&printsec=frontcover&dq=securing+global+transportation+networks&cd=1#v=onepage&q&f=false", 5/5/10〕 According to Dr. Kent N. Gourdin of the National Defense Transportation Association, "This book reflects the changing view of management regarding security. Still seen by many as both an additional cost and an impediment to good service, security is emerging as another competitive variable that firms can use to add customer value."〔Dr. Kent N. Gourdin, ''National Defense Transportation Association Book Review'', 2007, "http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Securing+Global+Transportation+Networks-a0160265053", 5/5/10〕 The TSM approach built upon scholarly research on the issue that stressed the importance of security as a key component of the supply chain. An April 2004 report for the IBM Center for The Business of Government noted, "Just as a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, a supply chain is only as secure as its weakest link, which includes the suppliers, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, carriers, terminals, and governmental institutions that plan, manage, facilitate, and monitor the global movement of goods.〔David J. Closs and Edmund F. McGarrell, ''Enhancing Security Throughout the Supply Chain'', April 2004, "http://www.businessofgovernment.org/pdfs/closs_report.pdf", 5/5/10〕 Additionally, the conclusions in a July 2006 Stanford Graduate School of Business report titled, “Supply Chain Security: Better Security Drives Business Value,” state that, “…when properly leveraged, investments in supply chain security may not only be offset to some extent by benefits…but, in fact,…can overall have a positive impact on a company’s bottom line.”〔Barchi Peleg-Gillai, Gauri Bhat, and Lesley Sept, ''Innovators in Supply Chain Security: Better Security Drives Business Value'', July 2006, "http://www.docstoc.com/docs/24441560/Innovators-in-Supply-Chain-Security-Better-Security-Drives-Business", 5/5/10〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Total security management」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
