SCORmark^SM

This hands-on training guides the practitioner through the detailed phases of a SCOR-based benchmark. It covers the basic phases of a benchmark from determining objectives and collecting metric data to establishing supply chain strategy. An extension of the SCOR Project training, this half-day training is intended to provide guidance to organizations that plan to execute a SCORmark benchmark in the near future.

SCORmark: Supply Chain Council’s SCORmark benchmarking program (www.supply-chain.org/scormark) allows members to confidentially exchange benchmarking information. The program requires participants to collect the data for each supply chain that they want to benchmark and submit the data online.

Training includes:

• The eight major phases of benchmarking from supply chain identification to benchmark analysis;
• Step-by-step instructions for each phase including critical inputs, milestones and deliverables;
• Oversight by a SCOR expert to provide immediate feedback on participants’ real-world examples;
• Development of SCORcards; and
• Thorough understanding of supply chain strategy.

Who should attend?

Supply chain professionals seeking to understand SCOR benchmarking and executives who are implementing SCOR in their organization.

Prerequisites

Attendees should be prepared to describe the basic performance features of their organizations’ supply chains in class exercises.
