SCOR Project

The SCOR Project workshop provides a hands-on walk-through of a typical SCOR project. Participants will learn the phases (Organize, Discover, Analyze, Material, Work, and Implement) and deliverables, and get hands-on experience collecting data and analyzing the information on a SCOR project. One or more supply chains of the workshop participants’ organizations will be used to simulate a real SCOR project. Upon completion of the SCOR Project workshop, participants will have an in-depth understanding of how to organize a SCOR project and how to develop and interpret project deliverables.

Workshop includes:

• Overview of a complete SCOR project based on real project deliverables;
• Templates and step-by-step instruction for typical project deliverables;
• Hands-on exercises based on example supply chains of selected participants;
• Group discussion and exercises; and
• Group review of deliverables generated in the workshop.

Participants receive a copy of the book Supply Chain Excellence: A Handbook to Dramatic Improvement Using the SCOR model and the instructor materials and templates in printed and soft copy format. The SCOR Project workshop is intended to be paired with the SCOR Framework workshop. The SCOR Framework workshop provides in-depth understanding of the SCOR model. Participants that complete both the SCOR Framework and the SCOR Project workshops will receive an invitation for the SCOR-P examination. Candidates that pass the exam are certified as a SCOR Professional (SCOR-P).
