SCOR Structure
SCOR is a reference model. The purpose of a process reference model, or business process
framework, is to describe your process architecture in a way that makes sense to key business
partners. Architecture here means the way processes interact, how they perform, how they are
configured and the requirements (skills) on staff operating the process.
The SCOR reference model consists of 4 major sections:
• Performance: Standard metrics to describe process performance and define strategic goals
• Processes: Standard descriptions of management processes and process relationships
• Practices: Management practices that produce significant better process performance
• People: Standard definitions for skills required to perform supply chain processes.
The SCOR reference also contains a section for special applications. Sectoin 5, Special
Applications is used for suggested SCOR additions that have not yet been tested thoroughly for
integration into the model, but that SCC believes would be beneficial for SCOR users.
