Integral Logistics Management — Operations Management and Supply Chain Management Within and Across Companies

1.1.9b The SCOR Model

Intended learning outcomes: Present the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model. Describe levels 1 and 2 of the actual SCOR model.



Continuation from previous subsection (1.1.9).

Figure 1.1.9.1 shows the planning of the comprehensive supply chain as an ongoing synch­ronization of supply with demand in the comprehensive supply chain. The organizational units involved can be independent companies, or profit or cost centers within a company.

This task is based on the internal chain of “source,” “make,” and “deliver” in each of the organizational units involved. All demand and capabilities of fulfilling them are carried by the network as a whole and reconciled jointly. Based on this idea, the Supply Chain Council (SCC), founded in 1996, merged with ASCM (the Association for Supply Chain Management) in 2014, published the Supply Chain Operations Reference model (SCOR®) (see also www.supply-chain.org).

SCOR, the Supply Chain Operations Reference model, is an aid to standardization of process chains within and across companies.

Figure 1.1.9.2 shows level 1 of the actual SCOR model.

The aim of SCOR is to foster a common understanding of processes in the various companies participating in a supply chain. Figure 1.1.9.3 shows the six process categories and 30 reference processes defined by level 2 of the actual SCOR model.
