SCOR Implementation for Improved Efficiencies in Automotive Industry of Pakistan

Abstract

This study aimed to streamline the adoption of the SCOR (Supply Chain Operation Reference Model) in the Automotive Industry. It is noteworthy that this model had not been previously implemented in the context of the Pakistan Automotive Industry, making it relatively unfamiliar among professionals in the sector. The study was designed to assess various facets of Supply Chain processes, focusing speciϐically on inbound supplies such as CKD parts, material handling, and the logistical packing of received CKD lots. The investigation identiϐied several prevalent issues within the automotive industry's Supply Chain processes. Building upon these upstream challenges, the study established its objective and subsequently developed a research methodology. Consequently, an As-Is model of the existing Supply Chain procedures was constructed, with particular emphasis on the receipt of raw materials, encompassing CKD packing, unboxing, and addressing the issue of missing parts in CKD lots. The qualitative data analysis tool was employed to collect both current data and historical trends related to the identiϐied problem. Additionally, the SCOR model was implemented to analyze processes directly linked to the problematic aspect of the study, speciϐically within the Plan and Source phases. This strategic application of the SCOR model aims to enhance and streamline these critical processes. A To-Be model has been formulated to meet the new requirements and fine-tune all supply chain activities in accordance with the proposed model. Subsequently, post SCOR implementation to discern differences between current and previous results will be checked. This approach aims to measure the effectiveness and evaluate the performance of the model, thereby identifying improvements in the processes.
