In a world where supply chains must be faster, smarter, and more resilient than ever, the integration of structured frameworks with advanced technologies is no longer optional — it’s essential. One of the most effective methodologies for supply chain performance management is the SCOR supply chain model, or Supply Chain Operations Reference model. When combined with the transformative power of AI in supply chain, the potential for agility, accuracy, and efficiency is unparalleled.

At Throughput Inc, these two pillars — SCOR and AI — come together to help businesses revolutionize their supply chain operations. From demand planning to logistics optimization, Throughput Inc enables organizations to achieve end-to-end visibility, intelligent automation, and data-driven decision-making at scale.

 

What Is the SCOR Supply Chain Model?

The SCOR (Supply Chain Operations Reference) model is a globally recognized framework created to standardize and improve supply chain processes. It covers five key performance areas:

  1. Plan – Demand forecasting, capacity planning, and aligning supply with business objectives.

  2. Source – Procurement of goods and services to meet planned or actual demand.

  3. Make – Manufacturing and production processes, including make-to-order and make-to-stock.

  4. Deliver – Order management, warehousing, distribution, and transportation.

  5. Return – Handling of returns, recycling, and reverse logistics.

SCOR provides businesses with a structured, repeatable way to assess performance, benchmark against peers, and identify areas for improvement.

 

The Power of AI in Supply Chain

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is redefining how modern supply chains operate. From predictive analytics to automated decision-making, AI in supply chain management helps companies anticipate disruptions, optimize operations, and reduce costs. With increasing complexity and volatility in global supply networks, AI offers a strategic edge that traditional systems simply can’t match.

Key AI Capabilities in Supply Chain Management:

  • Demand Forecasting using machine learning algorithms that adapt to market shifts

  • Inventory Optimization by balancing supply and demand in real time

  • Predictive Maintenance for manufacturing equipment and logistics assets

  • Intelligent Procurement by analyzing vendor performance and pricing trends

  • Automated Decision-Making through AI-powered control towers and dashboards
