Announcing the new SCOR Digital Standard (SCOR DS)
The new SCOR DS features the biggest update to SCOR since inception and modernizes the framework to include sustainability standards and the digital body of knowledge. This version shifts thinking from a linear supply chain model to a more synchronous network. Developed by a diverse group of subject matter experts, SCOR DS also updates processes, metrics, skills and practices to ensure coverage across industries.
What is the SCOR model?
What is the SCOR model?
The SCOR model describes the business activities associated with all phases involved in satisfying customer demand. It has been used by thousands of public and private organizations around the world to assess and improve their supply chains, directly leading to improved operational performance. The updated SCOR model focuses on seven primary management processes: Orchestrate, Plan, Order, Source, Transform, Fulfill and Return.
Orchestrate
Orchestrate describes the activities associated with the integration and enablement of supply chain strategies. This includes business rules and enterprise business planning; human resources; network design and technology; data analytics; contracts and agreements; regulations and compliance; risk mitigation; environment, social, and governance initiatives; circular supply chain activities; performance management; and more.
Plan
Plan
Plan describes the activities associated with developing road maps to operate the supply chain. Planning is executed for the Order, Source, Transform, Fulfill and Return processes, including determining requirements.
Order

Order describes the activities associated with the customer purchase of products and services, including attributes such as locations, payment methods, pricing, fulfillment status and any other order data.
Transform
