Abstract

This study proposes a design of a decision support framework for a reliable cargo container shipment and handling system based on failure mode effect and criticality analysis for inbound containers at U.S. ports. The proposed prototype of a simple risk assessment system is offered that safeguards against potential security risks in cargo container shipments entering U.S. ports. An application of the proposed framework is presented—in a situation involving an inbound shipment from China designated for a U.S. destination—that shows how effectively it helps reduce the risk of failure. Additionally, the industry research looks at how the initiatives being deployed affect supply chain managers as they contend with the changes and the associated costs faced by their businesses.
