The SCOR model provides a hierarchical model
decomposed into four levels. At the top level, it consists
of five elementary business process types: Plan, Source,
Make, Deliver and Return. The next level offers best
practice configurations for different supply chain
approaches, such as make-to-order. The lower levels
need to be tailored to the company implementing the
model ([8]; [11]). SCOR offers a general framework for
supply chain management and can support companies to
standardize their supply chain terminology and processes
as well as to apply best practice approaches. Thereby,
the model can ease the cross-company communication
and collaboration in general. On the other hand, SCOR
does not offer operational process models for the
collaboration between two particular industries like the
automotive and the semiconductor industry. Therefore, it
offers only limited means for the problem at hand.
