Supply Chain Analysis (SCOR Model)

Overview

The SCOR (Supply Chain Operations Reference) model structures supply chain analysis into five core processes: Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, Return. It provides a common language for analyzing, benchmarking, and improving supply chain performance from supplier's supplier to customer's customer.

procurement (Source) without considering production capacity (Make) or
delivery capability (Deliver) creates bottlenecks downstream.

A local optimum in one process often creates a global problem elsewhere.
