How is the Supply-Chain Council helping companies improve their supply-chain efficiency?
on December 14th, 2007 at 8:35 amAs an independent, not-for-profit, global corporation with membership open to all companies and organizations interested in applying and advancing the state-of-the-art in supply-chain management systems and practices, the Council is interested in providing the widest possible dissemination of the SCOR Model.The wide-spread use of the Model results in better customer-supplier relationships, software systems that can better support members through the use of common measurements and terms, and the ability to rapidly recognize and adopt best practice no matter where it originates.
The Supply-Chain Council was organized in 1996 by Pittiglio Rabin Todd & McGrath (PRTM) and AMR Research, and initially included 69 voluntary member companies. The Council now has over 750 members world-wide and has established international chapters in Europe, Japan, South East Asia, Southern Africa, Australia / New Zealand and Brazil with additional requests for regional chapters pending.
The majority of the Supply-Chain Council’s members are practitioners and represents a broad cross-section of industries, including manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. Equally important to the Council and the advancement of the SCOR Model are the technology suppliers and implementers, the academicians, and the government organizations that participate in Council activities and the development and maintenance of the SCOR Model.
