ERP and other systems projects are now commonly preceded or accompanied by reengineering efforts. Traditional reengineering projects use a ‘clean sheet’ approach, in which companies attempt to design ideal processes without being bound to existing processes and constraints. When reengineering is associated with information technology (IT) implementation, the more common approach is known as ‘to...

This paper addresses enterprise performance problems that can occur after Business Process Reengineering (BPR) project as consequence of business change. The general idea is to lean a Bayesian network from past BPR projects and use this model for prediction in future restructured processes. The role of Bayesian network will be to measure influence of business process structural changes, quantif...

This study describes the application of a renewal process to a very old legacy system working in the banking environment. The term renewal process refers to a combination of reverse engineering and restoration processes. The latter, similar to restructuring but taking account of the semantics of the components to be restructured, is better explained in the paper. Judged from the maintainer’s po...

Reengineering presents a practical and feasible approach to transform legacy systems into evolvable systems. Component-based systems are evolvable and can be easily reengineered. Object-oriented software reengineering should base on component library and focus on seamlessly cooperating with component library and assembly tool to construct the whole reengineering system. So the reengineering dis...

Introduction This paper addresses three phenomena of interest to organizational scholars and practitioners: corporate change programmes; new forms of organising; and knowledge processes in and around organisations. It does so using a case study of the Leicester Royal Infirmary, a large UK NHS teaching hospital, that gained the status of innovator in its sector through the introduction of a reen...
