Abstract
The supplychain operations reference model model (SCOR) is developed
and maintained by the SupplyChain Council (SCC). The SCOR model is
a reference model that can be used to map, benchmark, and improve
supplychain operations. SCORtemplate is asimulationbasedanalysistool,
developed to capture the dynamics of supplychain operations. The
first version of the SCORtemplate was presented in a previous article
by Persson and Araldi (2009). Since the finalisation of the first
article concerning the SCORtemplate, a second version of the SCORtemplate
has been constructed and tested in at a case company; Alfa Laval
at Ronneby, Sweden—a manufacturer of heat exchangers. Version 2 of
the SCORtemplate is more complete than the previous version. More
metrics were introduced and the return processes included. Emphasis
has been on making supplychainanalysis simple with the introduction
of a new building block—the metric module. The case study at Alfa
Laval has been based on data from a value stream mapping (VSM) and
aimed at comparing different scenarios in the production networks
for one specific product. The results of the comparison are one of
the pieces of data that the company managers will use when deciding
where to allocate production resources in the international production
network.
