Manufacturing Security Consulting Services

SMSI Inc. uses the term "Manufacturing Security," to describe organizations that are generally not open to the public. Industrial sites include, but are not limited to, manufacturing facilities, transport terminals, communication centers and warehouse operations. These facilities usually employ varying degrees of access control. The property line of most of these facilities features perimeter fencing. The security objectives of industrial sites emphasize both the protection of employees and the protection of assets. Manufacturing Security must address both the threat from within as well as the threat from without. Asset protection must include the safeguarding of supplies, manufactured goods and proprietary processes. Manufacturing sites require an integrated approach to security which includes security awareness programs, the application of security technology and often the use of security personnel. Hiring practices as well as conflict of interest policies must also become part of the solution.

The SMSI Inc. security consulting team offers complete manufacturing security assessment services as well as security design. The security assessment process will review policies and procedures as well as physical security methodologies. Our security consultants will help establish a corporate security master plan that ensures the full integration of security technology with the use of manpower, including security officers. SMSI Inc. will enable your company to strike a balance between security policies, the use of security technology and security personnel. SMSI Inc. will apply these services to manufacturing plants in a manner that minimizes the impact on productivity. These services are equally applicable to storage and distribution operations such as warehouses and terminals. They services are also available to communication hubs and data centers.

If you have not had a security assessment by a qualified professional within the last two years, your facility is unduly exposed to the threat of criminal activity from both within and from without, which may in turn, increase liability. Manufacturing plants can not rely on law enforcement agencies to provide internal policing. That is the role of a well defined security program.

For those clients that wish to outsource their security management function, our Virtual Security Management and Online Incident Reporting Service allows us to analyze trends and take corrective action long before those trends become entrenched. Let SMSI Inc., develop an Industrial Security Program that is customized to fit your unique needs. Remember security strategies do not, and should not, lend themselves to universal standards. Security is very situational. Remember, in an Industrial setting, the indirect cost of losses often exceeds the direct cost of loss.

SMSI Inc. is not affiliated with any contract guard service, or with any purveyor of electronic security devices such as alarms. SMSI Inc. will represent clients in their dealings with security vendors and will write RFPs.
