Abstract
The supply chain operations reference (SCOR) model is developed and
maintained by the supply chain council (SCC). The SCOR model is a
reference model that can be used to map, benchmark, and improve supply
chain operations. SCOR provides companies with a basic process modelling
tool, an extensive benchmark database, and defines a set of supply
chain metrics.
The software ARENA is a commercial simulation tool that can be used
for simulation modelling in various applications. An integration
of SCOR and ARENA provides the supply chain analyst with a comprehensive
and dynamic tool.
This paper reports on the ongoing work to integrate the SCOR methodology
and a discrete event simulation tool. SCOR is basically used to study
the static operations of a supply chain. However, there is also a
need to study the dynamic effects e.g. of changes in production rate,
poor quality in raw materials, and other effects related to the “bullwhip�
behaviour of a supply chain.
