The darker the shade of green, the greater the impact on a specific SCOR-DS process. Plan:AI continues to demonstrate its greatest influence here,transforming demand forecasting, capacity modeling and inventoryoptimization with highly accurate predictive capabilities. This evolutionis natural: The focus has shifted from the foundational steps of big dataanalytics and digital supply chain — which should now be standardpractice at all companies — to leveraging AI as an essential tool foradvanced planning. The end-to-end supply chain is defined by the seven elements of theSCOR Digital Standard. To maximize investment return and preparefor the 2026 operating environment, it’s essential to understand whichexternal trends most critically affect each element. The followingbreakdown integrates the latest trend influence scores with historicalcontext, showing how today’s networks have evolved over time. Thesescores highlight where to focus talent and technology resources in thecoming year. Order:Order management is most affected by cybersecurity,which reflects the need to protect highly sensitive customer data,transactional integrity and B2B communication channels fromescalating threats. Cybersecurity has always been a significantconcern for interconnected supply chains, and its prominenceremains high as global networks become ever more digitized. Orchestrate:This strategic governance function remains the mostessential element of SCOR DS, acting as the central nervous systemfor the entire supply chain; as such, it’s highly influenced by all trends.For instance, it requires rapid integration of real-time insights, includingsecurity alerts — a constant concern given increased digitization andconnection. Another key point is circularity, which is a dramaticallyrising trend largely due to pending EU compliance. And it will of coursebe essential to keep an eye on AI for enabling adaptive, automateddecision-making and optimal coordination across the entire network. Source:Unsurprisingly, the challenge of finding and managingsuppliers is most acutely disrupted by agile and dynamic sourcing.The continued importance of this function confirms that companiesmust embed agility using real-time data to rapidly identify, qualify andselect suppliers — a necessity underscored by ongoing geopoliticalconflicts and trade wars. Concurrently, visibility and traceability arecritical to this SCOR DS element, and both are trends that continuegaining prominence. Fulfill:This process is most affected by automation, confirming thecritical need to automate warehousing sortation and last-mile deliverylogistics to boost speed and reduce operating costs. Automation isnow seen as the key lever, building upon earlier digital trends to driveefficiency. The ultimate goal is to remove manual touchpoints todrastically increase both speed and overall operational quality. Return:The high-complexity reverse-logistics function is clearlyintertwined with climate and circularity. The future of returns isdriven by the need to recover value through repair and remanufacturingwhile ensuring customer satisfaction. Sustainability and cir
