In a widely published article I wrote titled Technology's Diminishing Role in an Emerging Process-driven World I discuss the irrelevancy of technology in the absence of true process understanding and refinement.
As you will note, 85% of all supply chain/e-procurement initiatives fail world wide, and the emphasis on a technology as the critical element of a SC strategy is one of the primary reasons.
Rather than introduce you to the differences (and in some instances shortcomings) of different models such as SCOR, a good starting place would be my 7-Part series, Dangerous Supply Chain Myths. Start with Part 1 titled Recent ISM, CAPS and Kearney Report Perpetuates Dangerous Supply Chain Myths,and continue through to Part 7, Enabling Technology: The Emergence of the Metaprise.
This will help you to establish a good framework for structuring a sound supply chain strategy.
Note: To access the entire 7 Part Series as well as corresponding articles contact the author.
