Using the SCOR approach is reliable and predictable with respect to project duration, cost, and benefits. SCOR projects have been carried out with such base metrics as stock price improvement, income statement and balance sheet improvement, purchase of technology through cash-flow improvements, cost reduction, and ERP optimization.Implementation results include:An average of 3 percent as a percentage to total sales operating income improvement for the initial SCOR project portfolio derived from cost reduction and service improvementTwo- to six-times return-on-investment (ROI) within twelve months, often with cost-neutral quick-hit projects underway on a six-month timeframeFull leverage of capital investment in systems improving return on assets (ROA) for fixed-asset technology investmentsReduced information technology (IT) operating expenses through minimized customization and better use of standard system functionsOngoing updates to a project portfolio, using continuous supply chain improvement to drive profit improvement at 1 percent to 1-to-3 percent per year
