2. Compare and contrast the SCM Framework we covered in this class with the widely cited Supply Chain Operations Reference Model. Below is a brief description of SCOR, so please base your comparison on the information provided here.

SCOR recognizes 6 major processes - Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, Return, and Enable:

Plan describes the activities associated with developing plans to operate the supply chain.

These include determining requirements, gathering information about available resources, balancing requirements and resources to determine planned capabilities and gaps in demand or resources, and identifying actions to correct these gaps.

. Source describes the activities associated with ordering, delivery, receipt, and transfer of raw material items, subassemblies, products, or services. These include issuing purchase orders, scheduling deliveries, receiving orders, validating orders, storing goods, and accepting suppliers'

invoices.

Make describes the activities associated with the conversion of materials or the creation of content for services. These include assembly, chemical processing, maintenance, repair, overhaul, recycling, refurbishment, manufacturing, and other common types of material-conversion processes.

Deliver describes the activities associated with the creation, maintenance and fulfillment of customer orders. These include receiving, validating, and creating customer orders; scheduling order deliveries; picking, packing, and shipping; and invoicing customers.

Return describes the activities associated with the reverse flow of goods. These include identifying items that need to be returned, deciding on the proper method of disposition, scheduling the return, and shipping and receiving returned goods. Repair, recycling, refurbishment, and remanufacturing processes are not described using Return process elements. Enable describes the activities associated with the management of the supply chain. These include business rules management, performance management, data management, resource management, facilities management, contract management, supply chain network management, regulatory compliance management, risk management, and supply chain procurement.

In your answer: be sure to compare the scope of the two frameworks, including what is required for each process, how the processes relate to each other and what key decisions a company would have to make to implement each framework.
