Integrating Supply Chain by the Supply Chain Operation Referential Model

Supply Chain Management aims to overcome the challenges to integrate the Supply Chain Entities with a shared vision and evolving gradually as a legion in the business ecosystem and supply network. With the integrated inter-company activities, these entities can work as united one to respond quickly to market, to source in a multinational setting, to control available products/services to deliver to the customers, and to maximumally achieve financial benefits as a group. The Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) Model, which has been developed by academics and practitioners and hosted by the APCIS Supply Chain Council is a major framework to serve for Supply Chain integration as a referential guide. Its content includes supply chain management practices, business process elements and enablers in a multi-company context that business owners and supply chain consultants can adjust their supply chain activities and organizations following the referential guideline. Despite SCOR model has many merits, it does not clearly state how to identify the existing problems and how those problems can be resolved in a supply chain project. Based on the speaker's industrial experience, this tutorial will provide a mapping technique for gap identifying, prioritization of problem solutions, and business process modifications in a supply chain setting based on SCOR model. The tutorial can enhance participants' knowledge to facilitate the implementation processes of multinational supply chain projects by identifying the gaps and integrate the channel entities.
