The Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR)-model to describe the value-added chain in forestry.

摘要

Standards in forestry are expected to improve communication, coordination, and collaboration between partners of the wood supply chain due to consistent terminology and common understanding. This article investigates whether the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model, which is widespread in industry, can be used to describe and standardize the second level of the wood supply chain in forestry (technical timber production). Standardized SCOR process elements are modified in terms of content and terminology for wood supply, harvesting, delivery, and forest planning. Moreover, using these process elements, forest forms of organization such as forest enterprise with a high vertical range of manufacture, selling standing timber to a mill, lease of forests to a mill, and a timer sale agency can be modelled as well as interfaces between organizational units can be analysed and designed. The proposed model enables a generalized mapping of forest reality and a differentiated depiction on different levels of details. Thus, an appropriate starting position for a common understanding, for describing and analysing processes, interfaces, and forms of organization is created as a first step towards standardization and improvement of inter-organizational logistics processes in the wood supply chain.
