The success in the design of a Supply Chain lies in the optimal assignment and coordination of value added processes at each networked partner. The concentration on the core processes together with global sourcing strategies lead to an increased number of supplier tiers. Therefore delivery time and flexibility are determinant factors for competitiveness and subsequently for broadening market share. The success of an organisation depends highly on the performance of the Supply Chain. Supply Chain Management establishes intensive control of material, information, and finance flows within the organisation as well as their smooth integration with the Supply Chain.

The Supply Chain Operation Reference-model (SCOR) is a product of the Supply Chain Council (www.supply-chain.org), a global association comprised of companies and organisations with the goal of the continuous further development in the “state-of-the-art” Supply Chain Process Standards. In addition to providing the SCOR Reference Model, ADOlog also offers structured support for mapping and standardising Supply Chain processes.
