The Best-practices Pillar
= Remember this can be adjusted per each individual company process -Once the performance of the supply chain operations has been measured and performance gaps identified, it becomes important to identify what activities should be performed to close those gaps. Over 430 executable practices derived from the experience of SCC members are available.
The SCOR model defines a best practice as a current, structured, proven and repeatable method for making a positive impact on desired operational results.
Current – Must not be emerging (bleeding edge) and must not be antiquated
Structured – Has clearly stated Goal, Scope, Process, and Procedure
Proven – Success has been demonstrated in a working environment.
Repeatable – The practice has been proven in multiple environments.
Method- Used in a very broad sense to indicate: business process, practice, organizational strategy, enabling technology, business relationship, business model, as well as information or knowledge management.
Positive impact on desired operational results The practice shows operational improvement related to the stated goal and could be linked to Key Metric(s). The impact should show either as gain (increase in speed, revenues, quality) or reduction (resource utilizations, costs, loss, returns, etc.).

Famous quotes containing the word pillar:
“Nights, I squat in the cornucopia
Of your left ear, out of the wind,
Counting the red stars and those of plum-color.
The sun rises under the pillar of your tongue.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
