The possible applicability of business process reengineering (BPR) to organisations in the public sector is explored through analysis of the central issues in BPR and the emerging experience of organisations which have recently implemented it. In particular, the paper suggests that success of reengineering may depend critically on the strategic capability of the organisation prior to undertakin...

Most proteases are synthesized as inactive precursors which are processed by proteolytic cleavage into a mature active form, allowing regulation of their proteolytic activity. The activation of the glutamic-acid-specific extracellular metalloprotease (Mpr) of Bacillus subtilis has been examined. Analysis of Mpr processing in defined protease-deficient mutants by activity assay and Western blott...

Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a methodology which defines best strategic practices for business process redesign (BPR). Design/methodology/approach – A total of 29 best practices are studied and evaluated from the literature. The philosophy of TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method is applied in recognizing the alignment of be...

ERP implementation success is influenced by a large number of factors, which most of the times are difficult to measure objectively. Adequate Business Process Redesign (BPR) is one of the most cited critical success factors in ERP implementation projects, and one of the most critical ones for the their satisfactory outcome. This study attempts to define a set of metrics for monitoring BPR withi...

Introduction The campaign to improve organizations operates under many banners, including total quality management, continuous improvement, right-sizing, organizational transformation, and so on. The common goal for these approaches is to change how business is conducted in order to improve organizational performance. Since 1990, few treatments of organizational change or improvement have been ...

Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) is a technique based on radical redesign of the structure an organization to improve its efficiency by optimizing processes and reducing costs. It has been proven effective over plethora private applications however, not many studies public sector have reported even though it known be inefficient. This mainly due overall smaller market exposure administrati...

Business process reengineering (BPR) efforts have been reported successful in many firms. However, the failure rates were as high as 70%. Various reasons for this have been given in past research. One major reason was that the efforts had not been connected to the corporate goals. In addition, the steps in implementing BPR in past discussions were, however, incomplete and the papers merely repo...

Rapeseed-mustard constitutes an important source of edible oil next to soybean, grows under diverse agro ecological situations such as timely / late sown, rainfed / irrigated, sole-& / or mixed crop with cereals (wheat, barley etc.) and rabi (October-April) pulses (chickpea, lentil etc.), where high temperature is the main constraint not only at germination but also at grain filling stage. Flow...

The purpose of the research presented herein was to evaluate the effects of solids residence time (SRT) and organic acid augmentation on biological phosphorus removal (BPR), with a focus on how these operational variables affect key metabolisms and the distribution of the microbial population. Using laboratory-scale sequencing batch reactors seeded with a mixed microbial consortium and fed real...
