SCOR and Every Angle

At the end of last year, Astellas started the pilot project Supply Chain Operations Reference Model (SCOR). Astellas' objective was to determine which results were needed in order to be able to complete the SCOR model for Astellas (for one product family).
Wim van der Poel (SCOR/SAP consultant at Van der Poel Consultancy) has performed a great number of analyses and SCOR measurements using the Every Angle software. Every Angle has given functional support, with a view to establishing whether the software can be used to perform SCOR analyses.

SCOR
The Supply Chain Operations Reference Model (SCOR) is a globally accepted reference model to determine and analyze the goods flows.
The SCOR model charts the logistic processes, based on the following five processes: Purchasing, production, distribution, planning and returns.

The SCOR model consists of three detail levels:

1. On the first level, the KPIs and a score card for the current position are compared with the competition.
2. On the second level, all threats are represented in a diagram.
3. On the third level, the business specific processes are studied and analyzed.

Usability of Every Angle
Every Angle has been used to extract data from Astellas's SAP system. Within six days, more than 50 angles were created with which the data for the second detail level could be calculated.
According to Wim van der Poel, using Every Angle has the following advantages:

• Every Angle is flexible;
• ONC transparency (insight into the chain through allocation of open and planned demand to available stock and planned acquisitions); 
• Every Angle processes huge data volumes at high speed; 
• Angles can be reused: With an elaborate SCOR model, the same calculations are made where only the parameters change. 
• Sharing angles means sharing knowledge; 
• A power user can create angles himself based on SCOR calculations, he can adjust selections to the business specific processes and SAP configuration and he does not have to rely on IT consultants or software developers.
• Using an available application. Every Angle happens to be in place at Astellas already.

Conclusion: SCOR and Every Angle are a fine combination
Wim van der Poel concluded that the combination of knowledge of goods flows, SCOR and the use of Every Angle is a great tool to analyze the goods flows with the aid of the SCOR model.
