Caspar,
I just finished reading your technical brief entitled "How to link supply and design chain?". The guidelines were helpful in understanding the two models. I am confused however by where the processes related to supplier identification, qualification, selection, contracting, etc... belong. In your technical brief you state that these processes are clearly within DCOR. As I read through the DCOR model it is not clear which L3 processes are responsible for these activities. In contrast, the SCOR model describes the following enabler which more directly addresses supplier identification, qualification and management...
ES.7 Manage Supplier Network - The process of defining and maintaining a unique network of suppliers to deliver a specific product set. This includes establishment of a new supplier or maintaining an existing supplier and all the tasks and activities associated with identifying and qualifying the supplier and finalizing on the sourcing terms and conditions. Also, the management of a supplier certification process, which includes certifying new suppliers and maintaining the current status of existing suppliers.
From your technical brief..."Guideline #5, Supplier qualification and contracting is a design-chain process." If that's the case, how are the design chain processes associated with supplier qualification and contracting different from the supply chain processes described in ES.7 - Manage Supplier Network? Is it fair to say that these processes should be represented in one model or the other but not in both?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and respond...

Your assumptions are correct. A process should only exist in one framework and only one unique process element should exist to describe it. What you address here is an example of synchronization challenges caused by the continuous development of the reference models. A little history will explain.
Before DCOR and CCOR were adopted many activities at the boundaries of the supply chain as defined by SCOR needed to have some placeholders. We kind of abused the Enable processes for this. One of these examples is the ES.7 Manage Supplier Network. Some (historically) considered ES.7 the process that re-configures the total supplier network. We now know that those a really DCOR processes. With the adoption of DCOR we are shifting the meaning of the Enable processes from 'the buckets that fit all' to better defined enablers.
The definition of ES.7 should probably more like: ES.7 Manage Supplier Network - The process to address vendor/supplier performance issues with the vendor or supplier. This may include supplier non-conformance tracking, on-site audits, and re-certification.
The ES.7 process would be triggered by the ES.2 Assess Supplier Performance process. ES.2 measures the performance of a vendor/supplier, if the performance is not meeting contractual agreements and/or required standards ES.7 would be the logical step: work with the vendor/supplier to address this. If the outcome of this is unsatisfactory then alternative measures need to be taken: replace the vendor/supplier or renegotiate the contract: the A2 process is triggered.
