Resource management. This covers the computational and network realities that the workflow must deal with. Data reside in databases and on file servers with their individual networking and security considerations. Similarly, the invocation of an application that is needed to complete a workflow may have specific network requirements. To be useful in a typical organizational network environment, the workflow engine has to maintain information about network locations and network users, plus have the ability to utilize these data in the way that is expected by users and administrators.

We will demonstrate how your personal network allow you to send and receive information about yourself, the safety culture, the organizational environment, and its related issues, problems, or concerns as well as your successes.

In addition to your direct personal network, begin the process of identifying the next levels of links. If you talk to the Vice President of Human Resources, try to determine that person s links with members of the leadership team and employees. Continue to look for the links and the characteristics of the links throughout the entire organizational network. 

As you complete the networking map, look for Peripheral People (Cross Parker, 2004)— Individuals that are outside your network or are mavericks that operate independently outside the organizational network norm. These individuals may not be using up to date risk information and may be following the outdated safety criteria. 

Your personal and organizational network must stress using information that increases your influence with the leadership team and employees and in turn increases the potential for a quality safety culture.

While studying risk in a supply chain network context, one also has to remember that a supply chain comprises a network of companies that belong to an industry vertical embedded in a business and social enviromnent. Hence, supply chains are subjected to internal risks resulting from the interaction between firms within the supply chain and to external risks that are felt by all supply chain networks in the industry, and within the same environment. Consequentially supply chain risks can arise at four levels organizational, network level, industry level and environmental level, as elaborated in Sect. 2.1. An excellent discussion on this topic may be found in Miller (1992).
