Understanding SCOR - The Supply Chain Operations Reference
SCOR is a cross-industry standard for supply chain management and has been developed and endorsed by the Supply-Chain Council (SCC), an independent not-for-profit corporation. The SCC was organized in 1996 by Pittiglio Radin Todd & McGrath (PRTM) and AMR Research, and initially included 69 voluntary member companies. Council membership is now open to all companies and organizations interested in advancing supply chain management practices and technologies.
SCOR is based on five distinct management processes: Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, and Return. Please refer to Figure 1 for an illustration of SCOR and a brief overview of each management process.
