Vulnerability Analysis using Evidence‐Based Traceability in the Grain Supply Chain

Background and Objectives This article analyses the approach of identifying critical traceability events (CTE) corresponding key data elements (KDE). The CTE–KDE is evidence-based that identifies, documents activities. It can be easily performed by (i) auditors; (ii) food manufacturers/processors; (iii) suppliers to access gaps in process supply chain. For example, for a grain processor storage identified as CTE under elevator, necessary KDE includes location bin supplier details. requires verifiable data, ability assess graduated levels success based on data. proposes use vulnerability analysis predict each situation. Significance Novelty A model quantifies, prioritizes various factors responsible reducing efficacy system. Vulnerability measures system attributes (data) related to: frequency occurrence; degree impact likelihood detection. applies standard method when how will fail. an framework accounts complex interactions among chain participants' need evaluating systems clear. Such must restrict measurable attributes.
