SCOR recognizes the qualification of a practice may vary by industry or geography. For some industries a practice may be standard, whereas the same practice may be considered a emerging or best practice in another industry. The SCOR classification of practices has been established based on input from practitioners and experts from a diverse range of industries. All SCOR practices have been mapped to one or more classifications. SCOR 11 recognizes 21 classifications. Classifications help identify practices by focus area, for example: inventory management or New product introduction.
