The performance section of SCOR consists of two types of elements: Performance Attributes and
Metrics. A performance attribute is a grouping of metrics used to express a strategy. An attribute
itself cannot be measured; it is used to set strategic direction. Examples of business strategies
applied to supply chain are: 'Superior performance for Supply Chain Reliabaility' or 'Advanced
performance for Agility'. Metrics measure the ability of a supply chain to achieve these strategic
attributes. Superior performance for Reliability can thus be expressed in a performance objective:
Perfect Order Fulfillment: X%. Reliability is the performance attribute, Perfect Order Fulfillment is
the metric. Benchmarking is a commonly used method to calculate the value of X in the Reliability
