SCOR and Demand Chain

The first Supply-Chain Operations Reference Model (SCOR) has been developed by the Supply-Chain Council in 1996. SCOR is a process reference model used as a descriptive and diagnostic tool for supply-chains and supply-chain management. SCOR acts as management tool and enables all involved parties to communicate their practices regarding the supply-chain management between them. The respective processes are being described with predefined process building blocks therefore very simple as well as very complex supply chains can be described. Because of this quality the SCOR model can be used by many different industries even allowing a comparison of the supply-chains' different aspects and their specific processes. The SCOR model bases on five different process types, which are:

The second level contains the process categories In connection with this topic also check out Demand_Chain. The Demand Chain is another approach to the Supply Chain. The main aspect of the Demand Chain is not the production part of the business but the respective purchasers' requirements and wishes. A simple Demand Chain can consist of the customer, a product reseller and the product manufacturer. Demand Chain Management works on the relationship between customers and suppliers. It tries to lessen the cost of the Demand Chain as a whole in order to satisfy the customer side as well as bring the biggest possible profit to the supplier.

The SCOR model bases on five different process types, which are:

The second level contains the process categories If the above mentioned topic interested you give a try to Metrics. Metrics are a set of parameters and quantitative methods that make it possible to measure various aspects of a process that cannot be measured by mere counting or adding together. The processes to carry out those measurements are part of the Metrics as well. Mostly the Metrics are constrained by the project's subject area. These circumstances make it difficult to benchmark the results right away.

SCOR and Reference Model

The first Supply-Chain Operations Reference Model (SCOR) has been developed by the Supply-Chain Council in 1996. SCOR is a process reference model used as a descriptive and diagnostic tool for supply-chains and supply-chain management. SCOR acts as management tool and enables all involved parties to communicate their practices regarding the supply-chain management between them. The respective processes are being described with predefined process building blocks therefore very simple as well as very complex supply chains can be described. Because of this quality the SCOR model can be used by many different industries even allowing a comparison of the supply-chains' different aspects and their specific processes. The SCOR model bases on five different process types, which are:

The second level contains the process categories Another issue that is closely related is Reference_Model. A Reference Model can be used to describe various kinds of processes in order to enable all interested parties to communicate efficiently about the process in question. In relation with the Supply Chain Management however the Reference Model refers to the Supply Chain Operations Reference Model (SCOR) which is a tool that is developed to describe and diagnose particular areas and problems that may occur.

SCOR and SCM

The first Supply-Chain Operations Reference Model (SCOR) has been developed by the Supply-Chain Council in 1996. SCOR is a process reference model used as a descriptive and diagnostic tool for supply-chains and supply-chain management. SCOR acts as management tool and enables all involved parties to communicate their practices regarding the supply-chain management between them. The respective processes are being described with predefined process building blocks therefore very simple as well as very complex supply chains can be described. Because of this quality the SCOR model can be used by many different industries even allowing a comparison of the supply-chains' different aspects and their specific processes. The SCOR model bases on five different process types, which are:

The second level contains the process categories In line with this concept is also to mention SCM. Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the planning, implementing and controlling of all regards concerning a certain supply chain. The purpose of SCM is to satisfy the customers' needs and demands in the most efficient way possible. The definition of SCM developed by the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) in 2004 is "Supply Chain Management (SCM) encompasses the planning and management of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement, conversion, and all logistics management activities. Importantly, it also includes coordination and collaboration with channel partners, which can be suppliers, intermediaries, third-party service providers, and customers. In essence, Supply Chain Management (SCM) integrates supply and demand management within and across companies."

The second level contains the process categories In this context another interesting term is Value_Chain. The Value Chain was defined by Michael E. Porter in his best-seller "Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance" in 1986. It is the systematic approach to build a business' advantage in competition. The Value Chain consists of a series of operations which establish the eventual value. In order to optimise the Value Chain, the strategically most important workings are identified. The underlying theory is that every company consists of an accumulation of operations. Through these operations the Value Chain is created by planning, building and delivering. All these operations can be visualized in the Value Chain. The Value Chain contains primary and support activities. Primary activities include inbound and outbound logistics, production, sales and marketing. The support activities of a Value Chain are e.g. administrative infrastructure management, human resources management, research and development, and procurement of the necessary means.
