APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) — Question 473

An advantage of the Supply Chain Operational Reference Model (SCOR) is that it:

Answer options

• A. has a hierarchical measurement system for supply chain attributes
• B. takes into account the performance of all the nodes in the supply chain
• C. allows the focus firm to better select, track and manage its suppliers and customers
• D. provides a uniform set of target values that a firm should achieve to be 'best in class'

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the SCOR model emphasizes the performance evaluation of all nodes within the supply chain, which is essential for comprehensive analysis. Options A, C, and D, while relevant, do not capture this broad performance consideration, focusing instead on measurement systems, supplier management, and target metrics.
