The Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR ) model is a reference model for supply chain planning and operations processes as well as performance management developed by the cross-industry organization Supply Chain Council (SCC) started in 1996 (Supply Chain Council 2006 reviewed by Siirie/Wagner 2004, pp. 41-49). The SCOR model structures... 

The SCOR process reference model was established by the Supply Chain Council (SCC) in 1996 for standardization purposes. The model describes, characterizes, and evaluates acomplex management process. Such a model builds on the concepts of business process reengineering (BPR), benchmarking, and process measurement by integrating these techniques into a cross-functional framework. 

The supply ehain operations reference (SCOR) model is an industry standard approach to define, design, and improve supply chains (Stewart, 1997). The Supply Chain Council has developed and endorsed the SCOR model as the cross-industry standard for supply chain management. 

The SCOR model tries to capture end-to-end business operation processes, including (Supply Chain Council, 2003) ... 

This chapter presents two basic sphere types product-producing and enable. The former deliver products or services to external customers. Enable spheres create infrastructure for product-producing ones. The label comes from the Supply-Chain Council s Supply Chain Reference Model, or SCOR. Customers for enable spheres are the product-producing spheres. Figure 9.2 illustrates this relationship between product-producing and enable spheres. Product-producing spheres are horizontal in Figure 9.2... 

Enable spheres contain the organization and processes that provide needed infrastructure for product-producing spheres. Their customers are internal, not the buyers and users of company products and services. The Supply-Chain Council s Supply Chain Operations Reference Model (SCOR) lists enable processes that support its five top level processes PLAN, SOURCE, MAKE, DELIVER, and RETURN. For each SCOR process, there is a set of enable processes. 

Table 9.4 listed enabling processes from the Supply-Chain Council s SCOR model. Table 16.3 lists the enable processes again, along with examples of how they contribute to institutionalizing supply chain changes. 

The SCOR model from the Supply-Chain Council is an industry-developed reference model that covers a broad spectrum of generic supply chain processes. SCOR is an acronym for the Supply Chain Operations Reference Model. Its application requires considerable effort in understanding the model structure and digging out the details that apply to an individual company s situation. 

Members of the Supply-Chain Council developed and now maintain SCOR. Developers include teams of industry practitioners, consultants, and software companies. SCOR incorporates supply chain architectures, performance measures, and best practices for supply chain processes. The model is updated continuously, so new releases occur frequently. 

A technique called a node tree, borrowed from a systems analysis technique called IDEFg, is useful. It is described in Section 24.3.2. IDEFq is widely used in analyzing activities in processes. An alternative, or even supplemental approach, is to use the SCOR model developed by the Supply-Chain Council. Section 23.1 describes the SCOR model. 

Application of best practices. Early planning, benchmarking, and supply chain modeling can pave the way for new products. Through its SCOR model, the Supply-Chain Council has developed techniques to apply best practices in product planning. Section 23.1 provides a SCOR overview.

Supply-Chain Council (see) A nonprofit association of companies interested in supply chain management (SCM). The Council was incorporated in June 1997 as a not-for-profit trade association. The Council offers members an opportunity to improve the effectiveness of supply chain relationships from the customer s customer to the supplier s supplier. Its primary mission is to develop and maintain its Supply-Chain Operations Reference Model, or SCOR.

The organization has latitude when it comes to defining initiatives. For example, there might be one for each major supply chain process. In the case of the SCOR model from the Supply-Chain Council (refer to Chapter 23), this would be plan, source, make, and deliver. 

Analyzed in the article discussion concerns the supply chain model whose objective is to study the reaction speed and reliability of the chain elements to determine whether the relationships in the supply chain have a high reliability factor or not. In order to investigate the supply chain enterprises use the SCOR model (reference model of the supply chain, called Supply Chain Operation Reference-model), published by the SCC (Supply-Chain Council), which is used to describe and comprehensive analysis of the supply chain (Haj 2002, Mazuruk Rzepka 2006, Stephens 2001, Stephan...

In order to understand the specific risk situation within the four focused supply chains, between 8 and 16 interviews have been conducted in each partnering company. We have applied a process-orientated approach based on the original SCOR model (Supply Chain Operations Reference) (Supply Chain Council 2006) but extended the perspective to include suppher and customer-driven risks (see Fig. 13.2). The interview partners have either been responsible for the entire supply chain or for selected processes. Supplier or customer representatives have not been involved. While this might appear as a weakness, it accurately reflects the situation in many SMEs which have little or no influence over their external supply chain partners and will find it difficult to involve them in a joint SCRM approach.
