ProcessPad for Supply Chain Operations Reference

Phases in the SCOR Methodology

• Review Corporate Strategy.
  This isn’t so much a project phase, as a decision to consider whether an existing supply chain can be improved. Once this decision is taken, a team is set up, trained in the SCOR methodology if necessary, and set to work.

• 
  
  
• Define the Supply Chain Process.
  SCOR provides a common vocabulary which is totally consistant with the use of ProcessPad for defining the major processes that make up supply chains. The first phase the team undertakes is the actual analysis of the existing process. This effort includes decisions about the number and scope of the supply chain processes to be examined.
  
  
• Determine the Performance of the Existing Supply Chain.
  Once you have captured the existing supply chain process in ProcessPad, You can use historic data to define how the existing supply chain is performing. In addition, you can compare the performance of your supply chain with benchmarks to determine how your process stacks up against similar processes in similar industries.
  
  
• Establish Your Supply Chain Strategy, Goals and Priorities.
  Once you have hard data on the performance of your existing supply chain, and benchmark data, you are in a position to consider if your supply chain strategy is reasonable. You are also in a position to identify how it might be improved, or consider alternative targets for improvement and determine how they might improve the company’s performance. Similarly, you can identify which changes would yield the highest return and prioritise any improvement efforts in ProcessPad.
  
  
• Redesign Your Supply Chain As Needed.
  Enable the Redesign and Implement. Once you have used ProcessPad to complete your SCOR design, you can implement the redesign using BPM and human performance improvement techniques. Then you may manage the new supply chain and gather data to determine if you are, in fact, meeting your new targets.
