Business Process is a group of logically related tasks that use the firm's

resources to provide customer-oriented results in support of the organization's objectives

Summary

Methodology of a BPR implementation




All methodologies could be divided in general 'model' stages: The Envision stage: the company reviews the existing strategy and business processes and based on that review business processes for improvement are targeted and IT opportunities are identified. The Initiation stage: project teams are assigned, performance goals , project planning and employee notification are set. The Diagnosis stage: documentation of processes and sub-processes takes place in terms of process attributes (activities, resources, communication, roles, IT and costs). The Redesign stage: new process design is developed by devising process design alternatives and through brainstorming and creativity techniques. The Reconstruction stage: management technique changes occur to ensure smooth migration to the new process responsibilities and human resource roles. The Evaluation stage: the new process is monitored to determine if goals are met and examine total quality programs.

Summary

How to Avoid BPR Failure

BPR must be accompanied by strategic planning, which addresses leveraging Information technology as a competitive tool. Place the customer at the centre of the reengineering effort, concentrate on reengineering fragmented processes that lead to delays or other negative impacts on customer service. BPR must be "owned" throughout the organization, not driven by a group of outside consultants. Case teams must be comprised of both managers as well as those who will actually do the work. The Information technology group should be an integral part of the reengineering team from the start. BPR must be sponsored by top executives, who are not about to leave or retire. BPR projects must have a timetable, ideally between three to six months BPR must not ignore corporate culture and must emphasize constant communication and feedback.

Summary

Ford Motor Company The Existing System  Accounts Payable function  500 people  Most work on mistakes between

Purchase Orders

Receiving Documents

Invoices

When Fords purchasing department wrote a purchasing order, it sent a copy to Accounts Payable. Meanwhile, the vendor sent an invoice to Accountants Payable. It was up to accounts payable, then, to match the purchase order against the invoice. If they matched, the department issued payment.

System Drawbacks
The department spent most of its time on mismatches, instances where the purchase order, receiving document, and invoice disagreed. In these cases, an accounts payable clerk would investigate the discrepancy, hold up payment, generate document, and all in gum up the works.

Ford instituted invoiceless processing invoiceless W hen the purchasing department initiates an order, it enters the information into an on-line database. onThe matching is done automatically, and the computer prepares the check, which accounts payable sends to the vendor.

Ford Reengineered the Process > Now its Fast and Efficient


The new process cuts head count in accounts payable by 75%, eliminates invoices and improves accuracy. Matching is computerized. Ford discovered that reengineering only the accounts payable department was futile.
