<P> The picture alone cannot adequately describe what production strategy the manufacturing company has decided to adopt . It is no easier to figure out how the material is supplied from the two suppliers . For example, is the material delivered against a forecast or is it pulled based on real consumption? </P> <P> Even in its apparent simplicity this picture does not represent a standard . Without a more extensive description the picture does not help interpret what is actually happening in this supply chain . Descriptive text could be added to the images to help explain the whole process . In order to keep the example simple and direct, it focuses only on the central processes: Source, Make, and Deliver . This reflects the general practice of members who focus first of all on these three process scopes . Only in a second step do they apply Plan and Return to map all their supply chain processes . </P> <P> The description of the manufacturing company reads "Manufacturing company That Produces against a 15 - day forecast". The key word here is "forecast". What is the SCOR scenario that resembles a production based on forecast? The answer is, M1 (Make build to stock). </P> <P> How does the company supply materials from the Far East? The box reads "Supplies raw materials in bulks from the Far East against a monthly forecast". "Forecast" is again the keyword . How a process of supply based on a forecast be represented? The process is "Source". The picture from the SCOR manual shows that the process S1 "Source Stocked Product" exactly corresponds to the needs of this example . </P>
