SCOR is the acronym for the Supply Chain Operations Reference model. It is a process used to evaluate an organization’s supply chain. The SCOR model was developed by the supply chain council with the assistance of 70 of the world’s leading manufacturing companies. SCOR is based on a static model that defines the supply chain structure along with supplychain metrics and scorecards used to evaluate performance and identify areas for improvement.
The SCOR model describes the business activities associated with satisfying a customer’s demand, which include Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, Return, and Enable. Use of the model includes analyzing the current state of a company’s processes and goals, quantifying operational performance, and comparing company performance to benchmark data. SCOR has developed a set of metrics and best practices information that companies can use to evaluate their supply chain performance.

There are three levels used to measure supply chain performance. These levels help standardize supply chain performance metrics so that companies can be evaluated against other businesses, even if they are operating differently. A smaller organization can be compared to a bigger organization, or businesses can judge supply chain performance against companies in other industries.
The three levels include:
- Level 1: Defining scope, including geographies, segments and context. At this level, the focus is on the six main process configurations: plan, source, make, deliver, return and enable.
- Level 2: Configuration of the supply chain, including geographies, segments and products. At Level 2, metrics are high level and evaluated across multiple SCOR processes. This level includes subtype categories that fall under the “parent” categories found in Level 1.
- Level 3: Process element details, identifying key business activities within the chain. At this level, you can associate any Level 2 process or subcategory with a Level 3 process.
Every organization is challenged with measuring the industry standard way and data collection and measuring the right way.

We help Customers to start measuring the top performance attributes a company is looking forward to focus and its related Level-1, Level-2, level-3 metrices and the data that are needed to measure at all these levels. Below is a sample depth of metrics and count of data points we work with customers to integrated SCOR model in Anaplan with enterprise source systems
Solvanni can help Customers in Data collection (as in above table) from Source systems, Data sanity check, Cleanup and Governance: All these can happen in parallel for each of the Performance attributes while we help customers to implement and standardize their processes based on SCOR model
Solvanni follows a process-oriented approach as recommended by Gartner to measure Supply Chain business capability which provides the ability to measure a Process maturity and related Systems capability.
Using these above Charts, customers can set their internal goals and measure their performances month over month, quarter over quarter and year over year.
