5.0 out of 5 stars An "objective, unbiased way to define supply chain management", 5 Jun 2007
By Robert Morris (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

SCOR is an acronym for the Supply Chain Operations Reference business model that was developed by the Supply Chain Council. (For more information about SCC, please visit http://www.supply-chain.org/index.ww.) In this volume, Peter Bolstorff and Robert Rosenbaum explain what the SCOR model is, how to use it most effectively, and why it can help any organization (regardless of size or nature) to improve its supply chain management. When reading this volume, it is important to keep in mind that effective management of any supply chain model depends upon active and collaborative engagement in the process by (literally) everyone involved, at all levels and in all areas of the given enterprise.

Many readers will especially appreciate the format that Bolstorff and Robert Rosenbaum selected within which to present their material. After two introductory chapters in which they discuss the supply chain operations reference model and then suggest how to build organizational support for supply chain improvement, they focus on the implementation of a four-phase process during a recommended seventeen-week timeframe and devote a separate chapter to each of the seventeen weeks.

Phase I: Discover the Opportunity (Week One)
Phase II: Analyze Basis of Competition (Weeks Two-Four)
Phase III: Design Material Flow (Weeks Five-Eleven)
Phase IV: Work and Information Flow Analysis and Design (Weeks Twelve-Seventeen)

Bolstorff and Rosenbaum then provide six appendices which facilitate review of the key points later: SCOR Model Overview, Fowler's Business Context Summary, Fowler's Supply Chain Improvement Project Charter, Partial List of SCOR Model Leading Practices (Sorted by Business Area), SCOR Version 5.0 Quick Reference Guide, and SCOR and Six Sigma DMAIC [i.e. Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control].

Note: Fowlers, Inc. is a billion-dollar conglomerate with worldwide leadership in three businesses: food processing, optical technology products, and business services. "Fundamental to the success is the Fowlers mission to continually exceed customer expectations. The company and its employees believe that if they go beyond what customers require, those customers will return again and again."

For me, some of the most valuable material in this book is provided in Chapter 17 (Week Fifteen) when Bolstorff and Rosenbaum explain how to determine how the given business should work by reviewing the Sample SCOR Level 3 Baseline Blueprint (see Table 16-3 on Page 181), adjusting SCOR Level Three processes between "swim lanes" (i.e. dividers used to organize and separate process steps by groups, organizations or roles; used to delineate ownership of the processes), incorporating transaction language for the specific technology application that will be used, conducting logical business transaction tests, and calculating productivity improvements based on the changes.

This is by no means an "easy read" and will be especially challenging to those who have only limited (if any) prior experience with the design and implementation of a large organization's supply chain for. Credit Bolstorff and Rosenbaum with making brilliant use of an extended case study of Fowlers. I certainly appreciated this approach because it enabled me to gain a much better understanding of how the exemplary organization navigated its way through the eight steps of the SCOR project lifecycle which begins with educating everyone within the given enterprise about supply chain improvement to gain their support and concludes with implementing whatever changes (i.e. improvements) may be necessary to achieve sustainable competitive advantage.

Those who share my high regard for this volume may also be interested in Thomas Stallkamp's SCORE! in which he explains how (then) Chrysler Motors used a proprietary goal and measurement system (Supplier Cost Reduction Effort) in the 1990s. At that time, Stallkamp was responsible for Chrysler's procurement and supply activities. "Although it took some time to get started, by 1992, the SCORE approach had been incorporated into a supply-management philosophy called the Extended Enterprise of the firm. Because their destiny and fortunes were directly linked to Chrysler's, the idea was to build a virtual team atmosphere in which all parties focused on reducing the cost of developing and producing vehicles. The construction supply-side suggestions worked to reduce both the supplier's costs and those of Chrysler." In this book, Stallkamp traces with meticulous the process by which SCORE was formulated and then implemented as a proprietary goal and measurement system.
