BearingPoint conducted a detailed cost benefit analysis study of the first Secure Trade in the APEC Region (STAR) initiative, Bangkok/Laem Chabang Efficient and Secure Trade (STAR-BEST). This pilot project tested concepts and technologies for implementing an end-to-end supply chain security system using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and electronic seals to track secure containers from points of origin in Thailand to distribution centers in Seattle, Washington. «Trade is the engine of growth for countries around the world. In today’s world, countries must also protect their supply chains to prevent them from becoming tools of terrorism. The STAR-BEST project is an outstanding example of how we can meeting important trade facilitation and security goals simultaneously.» —Thelma J.
