SCOR Supply Chain Operations Reference Model Program
A professional training program that explains the SCOR Supply Chain Operations Reference Model, enabling participants to evaluate supply chain performance, identify improvement opportunities, and implement structured supply chain optimization initiatives.
Course overview
The SCOR Supply Chain Operations Reference Model Program is a specialized professional training course designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of one of the most recognized frameworks for analyzing, measuring, and improving supply chain performance. Organizations worldwide rely on structured supply chain models to evaluate operational efficiency, identify performance gaps, and achieve continuous improvement, making SCOR knowledge a valuable capability for supply chain professionals.
The Supply Chain Operations Reference Model (SCOR) provides a standardized approach for examining supply chain processes, performance indicators, best practices, and organizational capabilities. This program introduces participants to the foundation of the SCOR framework and explains how organizations can use it to assess supply chain maturity, compare performance levels, and develop targeted improvement initiatives.
Throughout the program, participants explore the four core components of the SCOR model: Processes, Performance, Practices, and People. They learn how these components interact to create an effective supply chain improvement system and how performance metrics can be used to evaluate operational effectiveness across procurement, production, logistics, inventory, and distribution activities.
The course provides practical knowledge of SCOR implementation stages, beginning with preparation and project organization through supply chain analysis, configuration, performance measurement, improvement opportunity identification, and implementation of operational changes. Participants learn how to conduct gap analysis, establish improvement priorities, and support organizational change management.
