Reader Reviews
This review is from: Supply Chain Excellence: A Handbook for Dramatic Improvement Using the SCOR Model (Hardcover) While the SCOR Model has achieved some level of maturity, there has been few or no literature on its implementation practices....until now!! This book provides practical insights using a hypothetical company and provides you with a no-nonsense approach to implementing a BPR project using the SCOR model. Although the authors have included a suggested timeline, do use that only as a guide because if you are really considering implementing SCOR, you will definitely need to buffer in more time than recommended. What I find most useful is the authors' emphasis on gaining support within the organization and the teaming roles that is so critical to project success. This book is highly recommended for those looking for a proven path to implementing SCOR. Some of the tools suggested will require prior knowledge e.g. fishbone analysis, brainstorming, etc. These are powerful tools for problem solving so if you are not familiar with them, it pays to read additional literature on these great quality probem solving tools. For those familiar with the SCOR model, you'll be amazed at the level of detail and depth the authors have devoted to the AS IS and TO BE process and information analysis. It makes the very high level SCOR Project Roadmap outlined by the Supply Chain Council look like a pre-school book! Comment | | (Report this)
