The beekeeper is within the span of the SCOR (Supply Chain Operations Reference) model of the local restaurant because the beekeeper is part of the restaurant's supply chain and is responsible for supplying honey to the baker who then uses it to make confections for the restaurant. The SCOR model is used to identify and optimize the various processes and functions involved in a supply chain, including sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution. Since the beekeeper is responsible for the sourcing of honey, it falls under the span of the SCOR model of the local restaurant.
