Business Process Reengineering BPR

Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is the analysis and redesign of workflows within and between enterprises in order to optimize end-to-end processes and automate non-value-added tasks.

Some reengineering principles to streamline the work process and achieve significant levels of improvement in quality, time management, speed and profitability include:

• Organize around outcomes, not tasks.
• Identify all the processes in an organization and prioritize them in order of redesign urgency.
• Integrate information processing work into the real work that produces the information.
• Treat geographically dispersed resources as though they were centralized.
• Link parallel activities in the workflow instead of just integrating their results.
• Put the decision point where the work is performed, and build control into the process.
• Capture information once and at the source.
