Improving the SCOR model: Is the new SCOR Digital Standard a better process reference model?
Abstract
This paper analyses the new supply chain operations reference (SCOR) Digital Standard model, introduced in September 2022, and compares it with the old standard. Advantages and disadvantages of the new enhancement are discussed across all aspects of the process model. The paper suggests improvements to the new model to make it more applicable, focusing on describing the changes in the standard to help digitise supply chain processes. The paper discusses different modelling problems, based on many years of SCOR application. Readers will get an overview of the new standard and its main components, and will learn the key differences between the old standard and the update, as well as various drawbacks. The suggested enhancements deal with scheduling in the supply chain, adding logistics activities and inventory planning.
