Abstract

In the constantly changing business environment, companies are required to compete against their rivals. In this regard, they should be improved immediately. For that purpose, they need to discover their status in the market and to monitor it over time regarding their competitors. To understand the status of the chain, it is necessary to have a general idea of how it works and how efficient/effective it works, which can be achieved through supply chain analysis. Supply chain analysis is the process of modeling and performance evaluation with a set of tools and methods. This chapter will discuss the most well-known tool for the modeling of supply chain, Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR). Furthermore, we will discuss the performance metrics to evaluate how the supply chain is performing. Moreover, a typology of the supply chain is outlined to help the manager in describing the chain with a collection of attributes that can affect decision making. It is also a supportive tool for the second level of the SCOR model or any planning software.
