09:30 – 15:00 Workshop A: Integrating the Supply Chain Reference Model (SCOR) with Lean for a strategic implementation framework

This workshop will guide participants in the use of the SCOR framework and SCOR project roadmap, together with the power of Lean techniques, for supply chain optimisation. While SCOR focuses its’ power on description and characterisation of supply chains quickly and efficiently, Lean introduces a wide variety of powerful analytic techniques, along with continuous performance improvement that focuses on eliminating wastage.

The workshop will include:

• A review of the SCOR basics
• Using SCOR as a diagnostic tool for supply chain management practices within and between all stakeholders
• How SCOR enables you to address, improve and communicate supply chain management practices within and between all interested parties
• Using SCOR to describe your supply chain by using process building blocks
• How SCOR can create a strategic framework for Lean implementation and significantly increase the business benefits and ROI
