Learning Objectives
One of the most important challenges in managing a Supply Chain is to implement changes and improvements in a way which is consistent with the company objectives and to gain a competitive advantage in the relevant industry sector, adopting an effective framework.
The world of supply chain management never stops advancing, and supply chains require professionals with the knowledge and know-how on the global standards and practices that move the needle on supply chain performance.
SCOR is an acronym for Supply Chain Operations Reference Model, which was developed to assist businesses in understanding, structuring, and evaluating the performance of supply chains.
The SCOR model describes the business activities associated with satisfying a customer’s demand, which includes Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, and Return. The 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.
The key learning objectives of the seminars are:
▪ Explore the origins and goals of the SCOR Reference Model framework.
▪ Understand the structure of the SCOR Reference Model framework sourcebooks.
▪ Work with the four central parts of the SCOR framework: performance, processes, practices, people, and sustainable SCOR.

The seminar is designed for students who do not yet have full professional experience but with a structure and practice sessions similar to the full SCOR-P course.
