plans - Requirements and guidance, which provides an option for organizations’ managers to establish and document reasonable levels of security within international supply chains and their components. The standard ISO 28001 will enable such organizations to make better risk-based decisions concerning the security in those international supply chains (ISO 28001, 2007). This strong helper provides support for textual formulations of mandatory requirements and guidance to make it clear how to meet those requirements. The second eye-catching helper from the “kinship” relationship is visual management, which with the help of pictures, diagrams, clear graphs captures the essence of the solution in a short time. Visual management is a way to visually communicate expectations, performance, standards or warnings in a way that requires little or no prior training to interpret (McIntosh, P., 2017). For organizations that provide services or produce products, it is appropriate to integrate the management system according to ISO 28001 with other management systems. These are especially the most popular management systems according to the standards that are often required by customers: IATF 16949, ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 45001, ISO 14001, etc. The benefits of integration include unifying common requirements, reducing the amount of documented information, the ability to perform combined audits, and other items that are individual to organizations. However, sometimes limits may arise due to the need for correct integration. It is the competence of human resources, time consuming and common habits that are very difficult for an organization to change. The synergistic effect of these three management systems: own management of the organization, the management systems standard and the visual management will be gradually presented in the following text. 1.1 Supply chain management and its basis Supply chain management (SCM) is based on the idea that nearly every product that comes to market results from the efforts of various organizations that make up a supply chain. Supply chains have existed for ages, most companies have only recently paid attention to them as a value - add to their operations (Fernando, J., 2022). A supply chain is the network of individuals, companies, resources, activities, and technologies used to make and sell a product or service. A supply chain starts with the delivery of raw materials from a supplier to a manufacturer and ends with the delivery of the finished product or service to the end consumer. How much of this supply chain needs to be managed depends on several factors including the complexity of the product, the number of available suppliers, and the availability of raw materials? Dimensions to consider include the length of the supply chain and the number of suppliers and customers at each level. It would be rare for a firm to participate in only one supply chain. For most manufacturers, the supply chain looks less like a pipeline or chain than an uprooted tree, where the branches and roots are the extensive network of customers and suppliers, (Douglas, M., 2020). SCM oversees each touchpoint of a company’s product or service, from initial creation to the final sale. With so many places along the supply chain that can add value through efficiencies or lose value through increased expenses. SCM can increase revenues, decrease costs, and impact a company’s bottom line (Fernando, J., 2022).
