Abstract

The Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model for supply chain design is often perceived as too general by researchers and practitioners. The article describes a possible solution to this by elaborating a configurative approach to SCOR model-based supply chain design. It provides evidence for specific requirements from literature and practice. Based on these requirements, a set of design principles is proposed and evaluated by exemplarily demonstrating the configuration approach. A configurable SCOR model may counteract the heterogeneity of SCOR model extensions and modifications in literature and practice and may be the foundation for a tool-supported instrument in the area of configurative supply chain design.
