Supply chain process evaluation SCOR model

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 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. 

SCOR model provides a set of five metrics for process level, called SCORCard, for evaluating supply chain performance. The five metrics are rehability, responsiveness, flexibility, cost and assets. 

SCOR model, through the defined process components, allows for modeling, measuring of the description and evaluation of the entire supply chain. It can also serve the restructuring process...
