Before starting an improvement process, a clear picture of the supply chain has to be obtained. Therefore, Supply Chain Analysis is a critical success factor. Usually, this analysis will describe the as-is status and the desired to-be status. As a supply chain is built up of different companies for a limited time, it is essential that all partners speak the same language to describe and measure the as-is-status as well as to evaluate the to-be-status. For this purpose, usually a widely accepted model called the SCOR-model is used. 

The SCOR-model is used to describe, measure and evaluate the configuration of a supply chain. It supports ...
