SCOR Framework

The SCOR Framework training introduces attendees to the full scope and contents of the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model. Participants will learn the major process components of the framework (Plan, Make, Source, Deliver, Return, and Enable). They will gain an understanding of how to use these components to model supply chains, select key supply chain performance indicators, and understand the appropriate best practices to use for benchmarking and performance improvement.

Training includes:

• Supply chain processes: Describing supply chains using the standard SCOR processes and application of processes in different models;
• Supply chain performance metrics: Describing the performance of supply chains using the standard SCOR metrics and application of metrics in scorecards and benchmarking;
• Supply chain practices: Describing the maturity of processes and application of best practice assessments; and
• Example project: Review of a comprehensive SCOR project.

Participants receive a copy of the SCOR model, a quick reference guide, and the instructor materials in printed and soft copy format. The SCOR Framework training is intended to be paired with the SCOR Project training. The SCOR Project training provides a hands-on SCOR project walk-through. Participants that complete both the SCOR Framework and the SCOR Project trainings will receive an invitation to complete the SCOR-P examination. Candidates that pass the exam are certified as a SCOR Professional (SCOR-P).

Who should attend?

Supply chain professionals seeking to understand the SCOR framework, individuals seeking SCOR-P certification, and managers intending to introduce SCOR to their business.

Prerequisites

None.
