According to the CTSC Ex-am Content Manual1,the Swiss cheese model is one of the accident models that explains how accidents happen in complex systems. The model compares the system to a stack of slices of Swiss cheese, where each slice represents a layer of defense or protection against hazards. The holes in the cheese represent weaknesses or failures in each layer. Normally, the holes do not align and the system is safe. However, when the holes align, a hazard can penetrate through the layers and cause an accident. The model illustrates how multiple factors and conditions can combine to create a pathway for an accident.

According to the ASCM CTSC Exam Content Manual, one of the best practices for communicating a supply chain transformation is to "use a variety of communication channels and methods to reach different audiences and reinforce key messages"1.This includes holding breakout group sessions with each group involving employees from different departments, as this can help to explain the specifics of the transformation, address any concerns or questions, and foster collaboration and buy-in across theorganization23.Distributing one common document by company email, requiring the topic be covered in each department’s monthly meeting, or conducting a one-time, all-company meeting with presentations by leadership may not be sufficient or effective to communicate the details and benefits of the transformation, as they may not cater to the different needs and preferences of the stakeholders, or allow for sufficient feedback and engagement23.
