The realization of high performance simulation necessitates sophisticated simulation experimentation and optimization; this often requires non-trivial amounts of computing power. Distributed computing techniques and systems found in areas such as High Performance Computing (HPC), High Throughput Computing (HTC), e-infrastructures, grid and cloud computing can provide the required computing capa...

An approach to business process reengineering (BPR) is presented and illustrated in the paper. The approach is based on Coloured Petri Nets (CPN) as a general tool for modeling, simulation and analysis of system processes. In realization of a BPR project there are two crucial phases in which the AS-IS model and the TO-BE model are created. This implies the use of the appropriate techniques for ...

To satisfy and respond quickly to customers' demand, many companies are now aggressively focusing on supply chain management in order to strengthen their competitiveness. This paper proposes an integrated business process reengineering (BPR) framework for improving performance. There are several steps in this framework: creating vision, identifying core processes to be redesigned, analyzing cur...

Since early 1990’s, Business Process Reengineering (BPR) has become a buzzword around the world. Of the BPR methods and models suggested, the majority has put much attention on redesigning processes at operational levels. Those who stress the importance of strategic process reengineering tend to emphasize that redesigning should be embarked and implemented at a broader scope (crossfunctional) i...

business process reengineering (bpr) –the key mechanism for fundamental redesign in processes has a critical role in productivity improvement. but it needs some enablers in initiation phase including human resources acceptance. there are two behavioral theories containing factors for acceptance promotion: innovation diffusion and technology acceptance model. in this research we have used these ...

This paper provides a holistic view of the Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) implementation process. It reviews the literature relating to the hard and soft factors that cause success and failure for BPR implementation, classifies these factors into subgroups, and identifies key factors of success and failure. Finally, it explains how these factors influence the process of BPR implementatio...
