In applying the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) Model, a company would include all of the following in its planning except for:
a.Assessing capacity concerns and capabilities.
b.Determining demand requirements.
c.Selecting vendors.
d.Making make/buy decisions.
Answer:C
Choice "C" is correct. Selecting vendors is a source decision, not a plan decision. The SCOR model includes a series of processes or steps defined as plan, source, make, and deliver. The process of planning consists of developing a way to properly balance aggregate demand and aggregate supply within the goals and objectives of the firm and plan for the necessary infrastructure. Selecting vendors is a "source" step that implements that plan.
Choice "b" is incorrect. Determining demand requirements is an example of an activity performed in the plan stage of the SCOR model.
Choice "a" is incorrect. Assessing capacity concerns and capabilities is an example of an activity performed in the plan stage of the SCOR model.
Choice "d" is incorrect. Making make/buy decisions is an example of an activity performed in the plan stage of the SCOR model.
