About the presentation and speaker:
Now that APICS and Supply Chain Council have merged, the SCOR model is easily available to APICS
members. Should we be excited by this? What does SCOR do for us? We will see how companies that
have used SCOR perform compared to those who don't. We will also get an overview of the SCOR
model. Food for thought - companies who use the SCOR model to improve their supply chains
outperform the Dow Jones and S&P by almost 40%!
The definition of SCOR - The Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model provides a unique
framework that links performance metrics, processes, best practices, and people into a unified
structure. The framework supports communication between supply chain partners and enhances the
effectiveness of supply chain management, technology, and related supply chain improvement
activities.
SCOR is a consensus model. It was developed and continues to evolve with the direct input of industry
leaders who manage global supply chains and use it daily to analyze and improve the performance of
their organizations. It features an intentionally broad scope and definitions that can be adapted to the
specific supply chain requirements of any industry or application.
