SCOR DS Framework
The Supply Chain Operations Reference Digital Standard (SCOR) model is at the core of every supply chain re-engineering process. It is the only comprehensive, universally accepted and open-access supply chain standard used by companies large and small. SCOR gives organizations the ability to assess and improve their company’s supply chain, leading directly to improved business performance.
The value of SCOR
Use SCOR to analyze, measure and improve your supply chain
By combining elements of business process engineering, leading practices, benchmarking, people skills and a variety of metrics into a succinct framework, SCOR makes it possible to pinpoint core process areas that need optimization.
When our clients use SCOR as an end-to-end process blueprint, they not only achieve a remarkable ROI, but other key indices improve as well. Typical results include:
- 2 to 6 times ROI in the first year
- Operating income improvement to 3% of sales
- Better return on assets for fixed-asset technology investments
- 30% faster digital transformation project implementations
- Reduction in information technology operating expenses
