The Supply-Chain Operations Reference-model (SCOR®) has been developed by the Supply-Chain Council to describe the business activities associated with all phases of satisfying a customer's demand. The Model itself contains several sections and is organized around the five primary management processes of PLAN, SOURCE, MAKE, DELIVER, and RETURN. By describing supply chains using these process building blocks, the Model can be used to describe supply chains that are very simple or very complex using a common set of definitions. As a result, disparate industries can be linked to describe the depth and breadth of virtually any supply chain. The Model has been able to successfully describe and provide a basis for supply chain improvement for global projects as well as site-specific projects
The SCOR Workshop is now offered to non-members in addition to Supply-Chain Council members. The Workshop provides a comprehensive examination of the SCOR-model and offers attendees the methodology for using the SCOR-model within an organization. It is designed to support organizations that are attempting to develop a business case for supply-chain management projects as well as those who have already determined that the business case exists and are seeking more guidance on the specifics of implementing projects using SCOR.
The workshop details the SCOR-model with particular emphasis on metrics, reviews implementation strategy, and uses a business case study to provide attendees with actual practice.
