Re: BUSINESS PROCESS REENGINEERING
If you have ever waited in line at the grocery store, you can appreciate the need for process improvement. In this case, the "process" is called the check-out process, and the purpose of the process is to pay for and bag your groceries. The process begins with you stepping into line, and ends with you receiving your receipt and leaving the store. You are the customer (you have the money and you have come to buy food), and the store is the supplier.
The process steps are the activities that you and the store personnel do to complete the transaction. In this simple example, we have described a business process. Imagine other business processes: ordering clothes from mail order companies, requesting new telephone service from your telephone company, developing new products, administering the social security process, building a new home, etc.
Business processes are simply a set of activities that transform a set of inputs into a set of outputs (goods or services) for another person or process using people and tools. We all do them, and at one time or another play the role of customer or supplier.
You may see business processes pictured as a set of triangles as shown below. The purpose of this model is to define the supplier and process inputs, your process, and the customer and associated outputs. Also shown is the feedback loop from customers.
So why business process improvement?
Improving business processes is paramount for businesses to stay competitive in today's marketplace. Over the last 10 to 15 years companies have been forced to improve their business processes because we, as customers, are demanding better and better products and services. And if we do not receive what we want from one supplier, we have many others to choose from (hence the competitive issue for businesses). Many companies began business process improvement with a continuous improvement model. This model attempts to understand and measure the current process, and make performance improvements accordingly.
The figure below illustrates the basic steps. You begin by documenting what you do today, establish some way to measure the process based on what your customers want, do the process, measure the results, and then identify improvement opportunities based on the data you collected. You then implement process improvements, and measure the performance of the new process. This loop repeats over and over again, and is called continuous process improvement. You might also hear it called business process improvement, functional process improvement, etc.
This method for improving business processes is effective to obtain gradual, incremental improvement. However, over the last 10 years several factors have accelerated the need to improve business processes. The most obvious is technology. New technologies (like the Internet) are rapidly bringing new capabilities to businesses, thereby raising the competitive bar and the need to improve business processes dramatically.
Another apparent trend is the opening of world markets and increased free trade. Such changes bring more companies into the marketplace, and competing becomes harder and harder. In today's marketplace, major changes are required to just stay even. It has become a matter of survival for most companies.
As a result, companies have sought out methods for faster business process improvement. Moreover, companies want breakthrough performance changes, not just incremental changes, and they want it now. Because the rate of change has increased for everyone, few businesses can afford a slow change process. One approach for rapid change and dramatic improvement that has emerged is Business Process Reengineering (BPR).
Business Process Reengineering (BPR)
BPR relies on a different school of thought than continuous process improvement. In the extreme, reengineering assumes the current process is irrelevant - it doesn't work, it's broke, forget it. Start over. Such a clean slate perspective enables the designers of business processes to disassociate themselves from today's process, and focus on a new process. In a manner of speaking, it is like projecting yourself into the future and asking yourself: what should the process look like? What do my customers want it to look like? What do other employees want it to look like? How do best-in-class companies do it? What might we be able to do with new technology?
Such an approach is pictured below. It begins with defining the scope and objectives of your reengineering project, then going through a learning process (with your customers, your employees, your competitors and non-competitors, and with new technology). Given this knowledge base, you can create a vision for the future and design new business processes. Given the definition of the "to be" state, you can then create a plan of action based on the gap between your current processes, technologies and structures, and where you want to go. It is then a matter of implementing your solution.

Re: BUSINESS PROCESS REENGINEERING
Business Process Redesign/Reengineering can be defined as "the analysis and design of workflow and processes within and between organizations" (Davenport and Short, 1990). BPR has three key target categories:
· Customer Friendly: One of the main goals of introducing BPR is to get a competitive edge and that can only be gained by providing the customers more than what the others in the market are asking for. If a customer is looking for products tailored to their needs, for example: a car customized to the customer's taste, then that car-maker would most probably gain more customers over the competition due to the customization option.
· Effectiveness: How effective is the product or service that the business or manufacturing company providing the customer? If whatever product or service the business might be providing to the customer is successful, then the customers would automatically want to buy that product or service again. For example: Japanese made cars like Honda and Toyota, even though they are more expensive compared to the domestic cars, they are very reliable cars causing the customers to continue going back to those brands for generations. This is something that the domestic brand automakers, like Ford and GM have not yet mastered.
· Efficiency: How efficient is the company that is manufacturing the product before introducing it to the market to minimise costs? This is one of the key categories that is believed to be more important than any others. If a manufacturing company can master the skill of being efficient then they can automatically be more customer friendly and effective. Efficiency is not just about being efficient at the production floor level but the management level also has to be efficient. An example of only the production floor being efficient and not the management level would be the Japanese manufacturing companies. Now they are going through turmoil to repair their problems

Re: BUSINESS PROCESS REENGINEERING
Business Process Reengineering is a management approach that examines aspects of a business and its interactions, and attempts to improve the efficiency of the underlying processes. It is a fundamental and radical approach by either modifying or eliminating non-value adding activities. The key steps involved in a BPR are: 1. Defining the purpose and goal of the BPR project; 2. Defining the scope of the project so as to include (or exclude) activities; A flowchart of the activities can assist to define the scope of the project; 3. Identifying the requirements that will meet the needs of the clients; 4. Assess the environment - the position of competitors, prospective changes in technology, legislation or socio-economic factors; 5. Redesign the business processes and activities in light of the above; 6. Implement the redesigned processes; 7. Monitor the success/ failure of the redesign.
Business process reengineering is also known as BPR, Business Process Redesign, Business Transformation, Process Change Management

Re: BUSINESS PROCESS REENGINEERING
Business Process Research and Analysis
The first step consists of various interviews in order to understand the business as a whole, and determine the scope of the research and objectives.
The next step is to conduct research into the actual business operation processes and create business flowcharts to visualize the business processes.
Also man-hours for each operation should be studied and benchmarks through simulations obtained.
An analysis of the business flow, operation allotment and systems should be performed. This allows us to distinguish the issues and evaluate the best practice through repeated re-engineering.
Finally, summarize all references from the initial interviews to the final analysis and complete the business optimization proposal.
