• Process frameworks deliver the well-known concepts of
business process reengineering, benchmarking, and best
practices into a cross-functional framework
• Standard processes: Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, Return, Enable
• Standard metrics: Perfect Order Fulfillment, Cash-to-Cash Cycle Time,
Cost of Goods Sold, Order Fulfillment Cycle Time, etcetera
• Standard practices: EDI, CPFR, Cross-Training, Sales & Operations
Planning, etcetera
• Pre-defined relationships between processes, metrics and
practices and inputs and outputs

Control processes: Plan, Enable
• Plan and Enable processes prepare the supply-chain to
ensure smooth execution
• Planning processes balance the need for resources,
materials, capacity, etc. with the availability of these
resources. This includes prioritization if needed.
• Enable processes address 8 control aspects for the supply
chain. They monitor compliance, deliver information from
other process areas and highlight dependencies
on these other process areas. They also
support maintenance of relationships
with suppliers.

Modeling with SCOR
• Drivers for modeling: Why do you model
• Business opportunities:
• Strategy Development
• Merger, Acquisition or Divestiture (Companies or Supply Chains)
• Process optimization and Re-engineering
• Standardization, Streamlining and Management alignment
• New business start-up (Company and Supply Chain start-ups)
• Benchmarking
• Process Outsourcing
• Technology services:
• Software implementation (ERP, PLM, QC)
• Workflow & Service Oriented Architecture
44

Different Model Types
• SCOR recognizes different types of models. Each serving a
different purpose:
• Business Scope diagram: Set the scope for a project or organization
• Geographic Map (a.k.a. Geo Map): Describes material flows in a
geographic context; Highlights node¹ complexity or redundancy
• Thread Diagram: Material flow diagram, focused on level 2 process
connectivity; Describes high level process complexity or redundancy
• Workflow or Process Models: Information, material and work flow
diagram at level 3 (or beyond); Highlights information, people and
system interaction issues
¹) A node represents a logical or geographic entity in a supply chain.
Examples: Warehouse, Factory, Store
45

• Steps to create a Business Scope Diagram
1. Create or open the business scope diagram template
2. Identify customers of your organization or project and enter these in the
customers column in the scope diagram.
3. Identify and enter the key nodes within your organization or project. A
node represents a logical or geographic entity in the supply chain.
Consider: Warehouse, Factory, Store, HQ etc.
4. Identify and enter the suppliers of your organization or project
5. Optionally link the nodes to reflect material and/or information flows. Use
a different color and/or stroke differentiate material and information
flows. Example:

Steps to establish SCOR process models (workflows)
1. Obtain generic descriptions (this is what people describe)
2. Map these generic descriptions to SCOR process IDs (normalize)
3. Create swimming lanes to reflect organizational boundaries
4. Create workflow with these SCOR processes
5. Add description to workflows to reflect inputs/outputs of the processes
6. Optionally add other relevant information

• Process is defined by more than just activity

Obtaining Generic Descriptions
54
• Staple-Yourself-To-An-Order;
• Proven technique to obtain generic language process descriptions:
• Follow the logical flow of an order through the process.
• Each level 1 process has an order (except Plan): Customer order for
Deliver, Production order for Make, Purchase order for Source and
Return Authorization for Return.
• For each order start with the process of order creation and follow the
order and document each activity until the order is completed/closed.
• Similarly follow the steps of the planning cycles you encounter.
• Finally cover any process you have missed so far; Use your SCOR list of
processes as a check-list.
• Hint: To obtain generic descriptions for an end-to-end supply chain: Start
with Plan, then Deliver, Make, Source.

Obtaining Generic Descriptions
55
• The purpose of capturing process is to understand it and
remove, adjust or repair it where needed
• Recognize process characteristics:
• 'Measurements': It takes 30 minutes to build…
• 'Business rule': The plan is updated weekly…
• 'People': This is handled by Joanna on Thursdays …
• 'Business rule': This is done to provide .. with .. data..
• 'Inputs' or 'triggers': When we receive the document..
• 'Outputs': We send them the document..
• 'Technology': We print the document from the .. system..
• 'Business rules': We need two copies of the form ..
• Verify hearsay statements, to eliminate perception

SCOR Metrics
• Definitions:
• Performance Attribute: a characteristic to describe a strategy.
Performance attributes serve as classification for KPIs and metrics
• Key Performance Indicator (KPI): a metric that is representative
to measure the overall performance or state-of-affairs
• Metric: a standard for measurement
• Measurement: an observation that reduces the
• amount of uncertainty about the value of a quantity
• SCOR metrics: Diagnostic metrics
• Linked to business objectives
• Highlight the gap in performance
• Change over time is more valuable than a single sample
56

57
Attribute Strategy
Reliability (RL) Consistently getting the orders right, product
meets quality requirements
Responsiveness (RS) The consistent speed of providing
products/services to customers
Agility (AG) The ability to respond to changes in the
market (external influences)
Cost (CO) The cost associated with managing and
operating the supply chain
Assets (AM) The effectiveness in managing the supply
chain’s assets in support of fulfillment

Performance Attributes
57
Question: What is/are the most important attributes to achieve your
supply chain strategy?

‘Levels’ in Metrics
• Level 1: Strategic metrics a.k.a. Key Performance Indicators
• Measure overall supply chain performance; health of the supply chain
• Set the scope and objectives for a supply chain, project or organization
• Translate a business problem or strategy into something measurable
• Establish the priority or priorities for organization
• Level 2: Diagnostic metrics
• Measure a part of the supply chain and/or a part of the strategic metric
• Provide direction to where problems originate
• Caution: Level 2 metrics do not by definition add up to a level 1 metric
• Beyond level 1 and 2: all metrics are called level 3
• SCOR does not specify levels for metrics that are not level 1 or 2
• These metrics serve as further diagnostic tools
58

SCOR Metrics Codification
59
• SCOR metrics have unique identifiers:
1. Two capitals are performance attributes: RL, RS, AG, CO and AM (5)
2. Two capitals, a period the number one (1) and a number are strategic
(a.k.a. level 1) metrics:
RL.1.1, RS.1.1, AG.1.1, CO.1.1, CO.1.2, AM.1.3 (10 in total)
3. Two capitals, a period the number two (2) and a number are diagnostic
(a.k.a. level 2) metrics:
RL.2.1, RS.2.1, AG.2.1, CO.2.1, CO.2.2, AM.2.7 (36 in total)
4. Two capitals, a period the number three (3) and a number are diagnostic
(or level 3) metrics:
RL.3.1, RS.3.1, AG.3.1, CO.3.149, CO.3.151, AM.3.44 (>500)
• XX = performance attribute,
• XX.1.n = level 1, XX.2.n = level 2, and so on

• Measuring strategy: KPIs are strategic (level 1) metrics

61
Metric: RL.1.1 Perfect Order Fulfillment
Definition: The percentage of orders delivered on-time, in full.
Components of perfect include all items and quantities on-
time, using the customer’s definition of on-time, complete
documentation and in the right condition
Calculation: [Total Perfect Orders] / [Total Number of Orders]
Diagnostic
Metrics:
(examples)
• RL.2.1 % Orders Delivered in Full
• RL.2.4 Perfect Condition
• RL.3.19 % Orders Received Defect Free
• RL.3.24 % Orders Received Damage Free
Notes: An order is perfect only if all L2/L3 metrics are perfect; An
order must be: on-time AND in-full AND right condition AND
right documentation
Strategic Reliability Metric
61

62
Metric: RS.1.1 Order Fulfillment Cycle Time
Definition: The average actual cycle time consistently achieved to fulfill
customer orders. The actual cycle time starts with the receipt
of the order and ends with the customer acceptance of the
delivery. The unit of measure is days.
Calculation: [Sum Actual Cycle Times For All Orders Delivered] / [Total
Number Of Orders Delivered]
Diagnostic
Metrics:
(examples)
• RS.2.2 Make Cycle Time
• RS.2.3 Deliver Cycle Time
• RS.3.96 Pick Product Cycle Time
Notes: Order Fulfillment Cycle Time includes dwell time. Dwell time is
the time no value add activities are performed on the order or
product, imposed by customer requirements.
Strategic Responsiveness Metric
62

Strategic Agility Metrics
63
Metric: AG.1.1 Upside Supply Chain Flexibility
Definition: The number of days required to achieve an unplanned
sustainable 20% increase in quantities delivered. Seasonality
is not considered unplanned/unforeseen. The unit of measure
for flexibility is calendar days.
Calculation: The larger of the number of days required to achieve
sustainable increase for Source, Make and Deliver
Diagnostic
Metrics:
• AG.2.1 Upside Source Flexibility
• AG.2.2 Upside Make Flexibility
• AG.2.3 Upside Deliver Flexibility
Notes: This metric may have more than one Source, Make and
Deliver Flexibility component depending on the complexity of
the supply chain.

Metric: AM.1.1 Cash-to-Cash Cycle Time
Definition: The time it takes for cash invested in materials to flow back
into the company after finished goods have been delivered to
customers. The unit of measure for Cash-to-Cash Cycle Time
is calendar days
Calculation: [Inventory Days of Supply] + [Days Sales Outstanding] –
[Days Payable Outstanding]
Diagnostic
Metrics:
• AM.2.1 Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)
• AM.2.2 Inventory Days of Supply (IDOS)
• AM.2.3 Days Payable Outstanding (DPO)
Notes: For services, the time between paying the resources assigned
to a service and receiving payment for the service delivery.
Strategic Asset Metrics
64

Metric: AM.1.2 Return on Supply Chain Fixed Assets
Definition: The return an organization receives on its invested capital in
supply chain fixed assets. This includes the fixed assets used
to Plan, Source, Make, Deliver and Return. Examples of fixed
assets include land, buildings, machinery, trucks
Calculation: ([Supply Chain Revenue] – [COGS] – [Supply Chain
Management Costs]) / [Supply Chain Fixed Assets]
Diagnostic
Metrics:
• AM.3.11 Deliver Fixed Assets Value
• AM.3.18 Make Fixed Assets Value
• AM.3.20 Plan Fixed Asset Value
• AM.3.27 Source Fixed Assets Value
Notes: Supply-Chain Revenue is the operating revenue generated
from a supply chain. This does not include non-operating
revenue, such as investments, etc..

Metrics and Analysis
66
• Levels in metrics help root cause performance issues
• Strategic metrics (level 1) can be diagnosed by investigating the level 2
metrics.
• Different types of relationships exist between a metric (the ‘parent’) and
it’s diagnostic metrics (the ‘children’):
1. The parent is the sum of it’s children (e.g. time and cost)
2. The children are multiplied to calculate the parent (e.g. yield)
3. The relationship is undefined (but can be statistically observed)
• Diagnostic metrics don’t necessarily add up to their parents:
Order Fulfillment Cycle Time IS NOT the sum of Deliver Cycle Time +
Make Cycle Time + Source Cycle Time for most supply chains

Metrics Data
67
• Each company will need to develop a tool or instructions
where to source the data for the SCOR metrics
• There are two types of data:
• Recorded data; obtain from transactional systems such as ERP
(Enterprise Resource Planning), WMS (Warehouse Management System),
financial systems, etc. For example: compare time-stamps in these
systems to calculate cycle times.
• Observed data; obtain through interviews, error logs, audits and/or time-
studies. For example the observed percentage of orders requiring
additional customer setup in a system, percentage of manual repackaging
events on the shipping dock.
• There is no easy button

Scorecards and SCORcards
• Definitions
• Scorecard: A visual display of the most important information needed
to achieve one or more objectives, consolidated and arranged in a
single view
• Balanced Scorecard: A scorecard providing metrics related to four
organizational strategies: financial, customer, internal process, and
employee learning and growth
• SCORcard: A scorecard providing metrics related to five supply chain
strategies: reliability, responsiveness, Agility, cost and assets
• Importance
• Communicate supply chain priorities
• Monitor all strategic areas, not just the top priority
68

SCORcard Metrics Selection
• SCORcard metric requirements:
• Measurable and quantifiable
Avoid 'feel good' metrics like supplier satisfaction or customer
satisfaction, unless they are an aggregation of well-defined detail
metrics. Framework-based metrics simplify the selection process.
• Linkage to responsibility
Avoid metrics that have no impact on performance reviews (supplier
or employee), ensure the metric is linked to the (right) process
owner at the right level.
• Ensure metric is well-defined
Multiple interpretations of a metric may lead to 'work-arounds' and
negation of the effort. SCOR metrics are pre-defined; limiting the
discussion on metric definitions.
69

Metrics Selection
• Interpreting the definitions
• Customer facing metrics should be measured as close to the
customer experience as possible.
• The moment of order submission instead of order entry
• Delivered performance instead of shipping performance
• Received quality instead of produced or shipped quality
• Measure what makes sense: Don’t have data; approximate the
missing component until you will be able to obtain the data
• Tip: It is not about how you think it should be measured, ask your
customer what is important to him/her
• And: Internal focused metrics also have a customer
70

Benchmarking
• Definitions
• Benchmarking: Comparing an organization’s performance,
products, practices, and/or services with those of other organizations
that operate in the same or comparable industry
• Parity: Being equal in performance; No real advantage over others
• Advantage: Being in a favorable position; In a stronger position
than
• Superior: Being of high rank or quality; Leading
• Usage
• Establish Goals. Know where you are relative to others (competitors
or peers), and express where you're going.
• Monitor Performance. Track relative progress you and others (your
competitors or peers) make.
71

Benchmark Requirements
72
• Compare like for like
• Using standard metrics
A numerical comparison of the performance of two companies in the
same industry may not have value when the metric is different.
• Measuring the same process/business model
Avoid comparing the performance of a make-to-stock process to an
engineer-to-order process. The purpose of these processes is different,
measure them accordingly.
• Demographics
Make sure you understand the other organizations in the
benchmark. Regional differences, and differences in
product, or services may influence results.

Best Practices
73
• Definitions:
• Best practice: "A current, structured, proven and repeatable method
for making a positive impact on desired operational results."
• Current: Must not be emerging and can not be antiquated
• Structured: Has clearly stated Goal, Scope, Process, and Procedure
• Proven: Success has been demonstrated in a working environment
and can be linked to key metrics
• Repeatable: The practice has been proven in multiple environments.
• Importance
• Alternatives to the way you do business
• Equalize the competitive landscape

Types of Practices
• Best practices are Current, structured, proven and
repeatable methods for making a positive impact on
desired operational results.
• Leading practices are innovations adopted by single
companies or industries which provide dramatically
improved performance in a process, but because of
proprietary restrictions, or novelty, are not widely known
or adopted.
• Worst practices or Poor practices: Practices that are
known to produce negative impacts on operational results.
