This paper presents an analysis result of relationship between business and information technology (IT) in business process reengineering (BPR). 258 Japanese firm-level data collected have been analyzed using structural equation modeling. This analysis was aimed to illuminating success factors of achieve effective BPR. Analysis was focused on management factors (including organizational factors...

Suggests that the progress made towards the acquisition of quality through TQM, ISO 9000, BPR, BSCs (balanced score cards) and all the other related TLAs (three letter acronyms) and techniques is in danger of consuming itself through a process in which the goal is displaced by the means: quality by measurement. This form of development, defeat snatched from the jaws of victory, failure construc...

— In this PaPer.a new classifier of speaker identification has been proposed, which is based on Biomimetic pattern recognition (BPR). Distinguished from traditional speaker rec0gnition m ethods, such as DW T.HM M ,G M M .SV M and so on,the proposed clas— sifier is constructed by som e finite sub-space which is reasonable covering of the points in high dim ensional space according to distributin...

Companies making products on an engineer to order (ETO) basis have traditionally found business opportunities through design and product development expertise and an ability to respond to demands for customisation with improved product performance. However, increasingly, customers are seeking lower prices and reduced lead times, which also require improved manufacturing efficiency. These compan...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) automatic target recognition (ATR) has been receiving more and more attention in the past two decades. But the problem of how to overcome SAR target ambiguities and azimuth angle variations has still left unsolved. In this paper, a multi-scale local phase quantization plus biomimetic pattern recognition (BPR) method is presented to solve these two difficulties. By...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It would have been very difficult to complete this thesis if my friends and colleagues had not helped me in so many ways. I am very indebted to Jaroslav Doležel and his co-workers from the Laboratory of Molecular Cytogenetics and Cytometry, Olomouc (mainly Martin A. Lysák, Jan Vrána ...

This study endeavors to focus on developing an evaluation method for comparative analysis of process performance before and after reengineering. Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is a relatively recent concept that has stemmed from management and computer science roots. Process performance evaluations are crucial to managers in identifying the benefit of new process after reengineering. Curr...

Modern Information and Communication Technology open a door for innovations that can improve the functioning of companies. Many innovations can come from the analysis of business processes. Today modeling is widely used for the analysis of business processes. In these work we propose a process modeling technique based on role modeling. To specify a process where one business object may play sev...

Businesses find themselves today in a highly demanding world: The proliferation of Information Technology combined with highly globalized markets and increasingly distributed value creation has created an environment of unprecedented volatility and complexity. To be able to compete in such an environment, businesses need to be able to rapidly adapt both their service and product offerings and c...

This paper describes a research project that attempt to develop a process integrating method and finally to create a multi-agent system to support the cooperation in a design-build team. The approach taken is to apply Business Process Reengineering (BPR) philosophy for providing a process-based fast-tracking execution mechanism for design-build teams. An Integrated Design-Build Framework (IDBF)...
