A review and analysis of supply chain operations reference (SCOR) model

Abstract

Research on supply chain management can be broadly classified into three categories, namely, operational, design, and strategic. While many analytical and numerical models have been proposed to handle operational and design issues, formal models for strategic planning are scarce. The supply chain operations reference (SCOR) model, developed by the Supply Chain Council, is a strategic planning tool that allows senior managers to simplify the complexity of supply chain management. It is firmly rooted in industrial practices and is poised to become an industrial standard that enables next-generation supply chain management. This paper gives a brief introduction to the SCOR model, analyzes its strength and weakness, and discusses how it can be used to assist managers for strategic decision making.

The impact of business analytics on supply chain performance

“…SCOR is supposed to be the most promising model for SC strategic decision-making [41]. It provides a common SC framework, standard terminology and metrics that can be used for evaluating, positioning and implementing SC processes [41]. The choice of SCOR also reflects the fact that SC analytics include planning, sourcing, making and delivery [68] which corresponds to the SCOR areas.…”

“…In the SCOR model, a balanced performance measurement system at multiple levels, covering four core SC processes (Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, and later Return was also added), was developed [12]. SCOR is supposed to be the most promising model for SC strategic decision-making [41]. It provides a common SC framework, standard terminology and metrics that can be used for evaluating, positioning and implementing SC processes [41].…”

“…[7,12,41]), it was used as a framework for our study. SCOR has often been recognized as a systematic approach to identifying, evaluating and monitoring supply chain performance [12,50].…”

Applying the Supply Chain Operations Reference (Scor) Model for the Evaluation of Several Urban Consolidation Centre Operating Models

“…Process types are decomposed into process categories. They are decomposed into process elements and finally into industry specific activities (Huan et al, 2004). The last version of the SCOR model (11 th version), published by Supply Chain…”

“…The basic purpose of this framework is to define a standard supply chain model for any industry, helping to structure the whole process and to highlight key aspects specific for each organisation. The SCOR process reference model contains four major elements (Supply Chain Council, 2012;Huan et al, 2004): (1) Processes (i.e. description of processes and framework of relationships between the processes); (2) Performance metrics (i.e.…”
