SCOR Digital Standard · ASCM Authorized Partner
One way to run the supply chain, across every function.
SCOR DS gives your company a shared map of how its seven processes (orchestrate, plan, order, source, transform, fulfill and return) connect, who owns each hand-off, and how to measure it. We teach it on your own processes, assess where you stand, and turn it into a roadmap your team owns.

What SCOR DS does
See how your supply chain really works, end to end.
Every function runs its own piece of the supply chain. SCOR DS shows where those pieces intersect and how to orchestrate processes, people and technology across the company.
- A common language for sales, operations, procurement, finance and IT
- Clear process ownership and hand-offs, from Level 1 strategy to Level 4 tasks
- Business rules that tie daily decisions to strategy
- Metrics linked to the P&L, benchmarked against peers
- Skills and digital capabilities matched to each process

The seven SCOR DS processes. Tap one to see what it covers.
OrchestrateLevel 0 · Strategy
The strategy layer that sits over everything else: business rules, performance management, data and technology, people and skills, network design, risk, ESG and enterprise business planning. It is how the company keeps the other six processes pulling in the same direction.
PlanSynchronize
Balances demand and supply. Sets the plans for ordering, sourcing, transforming, fulfilling and returning, and decides how resources are allocated across them.
OrderDemand loop
Everything involved in a customer buying from you, B2B or B2C: receiving, validating, pricing and scheduling orders through to payment.
SourceSupply loop
Ordering, receiving, verifying and paying for the materials and services you buy, and managing the suppliers who provide them.
TransformSupply loop
Making, assembling, repairing, maintaining or recycling: the activities that turn materials into the product or service the customer receives.
FulfillDemand loop
Getting the product or service to the customer: picking, shipping, installing, commissioning and invoicing.
ReturnRegenerate
Reverse flows from customers and back to suppliers: returns, repairs, refurbishment, recycling and end of life, the backbone of a circular supply chain.
When companies call us
The moments SCOR DS pays for itself.
Map processes to a global standard and tie business rules to strategy before go-live, so the system runs the way it was designed.
Build a fact-based, prioritized portfolio with owners and ROI instead of a list of projects.
Define roles, decision rights and a center of excellence around end-to-end processes.
Set the rules for planning, allocation and prioritization that every function follows.
Give two organizations one language and one set of KPIs on Day 1.
Link operational metrics to the P&L and to the attributes your strategy cares about.

ASCM Authorized Consulting Partner · SCORmark benchmarking
See exactly how your supply chain compares with real peers.
SCORmark is ASCM’s benchmarking assessment, built on the SCOR Digital Standard. It compares your supply chain’s performance, cost and practices with similar supply chains drawn from a benchmark database that ASCM maintains with its alliance partner PwC. As an ASCM Authorized Consulting Partner, we have access to that database and run SCORmark for you: we collect the data, build your peer group, and turn every gap into a dollar value and a target.
What SCORmark measures
| Attribute | Level 1 metric |
|---|---|
| Reliability | Perfect order fulfillment |
| Responsiveness | Order fulfillment cycle time |
| Agility | Supply chain flexibility and adaptability |
| Cost | Total supply chain management cost as a % of revenue, split into order management, material acquisition, inventory carrying, planning and finance, and IT |
| Asset efficiency | Cash-to-cash cycle time and inventory days of supply |

SCOR DS questions, answered.
What is SCOR DS?
The Supply Chain Operations Reference Digital Standard is ASCM’s global standard for supply chain processes, metrics, practices and skills. It organizes the supply chain into Orchestrate, Plan, Order, Source, Transform, Fulfill and Return, and measures performance on resilience, economic and sustainability attributes.
What does SCOR DS actually do for a company?
It shows how processes connect across functions, who owns each hand-off, and which metrics prove it works. Leaders get one language for the supply chain, so sales, operations, procurement, finance and IT can design processes, business rules and systems together instead of in silos.
Why would a corporate team need it now?
Most teams use it at a turning point: before or after an ERP or SAP implementation, when building a transformation roadmap, when setting up a new supply chain organization or center of excellence, when writing business rules for planning and allocation, or when integrating two companies after a deal.
What is the SCOR DS Accelerator?
Our packaged program: a complimentary ASCM maturity assessment, a SCOR DS executive workshop built on your own processes, and a prioritized roadmap and charter. It takes about four to six weeks.
Is the maturity assessment really free?
Yes, when you book the SCOR DS workshop. The assessment covers 27 focus areas across the seven SCOR domains and takes about two hours of your leaders’ time.
What is SCORmark and do we need it?
SCORmark is ASCM’s benchmarking service. It compares your Level 1 metrics with peers in your industry and sets parity, advantage and superior targets. It is optional, and most useful when you need to prioritize investments or build a business case.
Can the training use our own data and systems?
Yes. Corporate programs are built on your Level 3 to 4 process maps, KPIs and systems, such as SAP S/4HANA or your planning platform, so the outputs are usable immediately.
Do you also run public classes?
Yes. Public SCOR DS cohorts run online in four live sessions on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. See dates and times.
