However, despite the significant growth of the BPR concept, not all organisations embarking on BPR projects achieve their intended result. Hammer and Champy (1993) estimate that as many as 70 percent do not achieve the dramatic results they seek. Having BPR repeatedly at the top of the list of management issues in annual surveys of critical information systems reflects executives' failure to ei...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to compare the approaches towards implementation of business process reengineering (BPR), and to provide some evidence as to which approach offers a greater chance of success. Design/methodology/approach – A hospital case analysis is used to study where both top-down/ participative BPR and enterprise resource planning (ERP)-driven BPR were used to reengine...

OBJECTIVES We examined by thallium-201 scintigraphy whether exercise-induced abnormal blood pressure response (BPR) is related to myocardial ischemia. BACKGROUND Hemodynamic instabilities during exercise in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are considered to be caused by abnormal reflex control of vascular resistance. METHODS In 105 patients with HCM, exercise thallium scintig...

during implementation of business process reengineering (bpr) in many organizations, it will be less attention to previous activities and capabilities which they extract from other improvement projects in the past and this would include the costs for doing this effort and activities. considering these issues are important for bpr projects. required capabilities before implementing of bpr projec...

Reengineering continues to gather momentum in the business community. Surveys show that 45% to 88% of large p corporations are involved in business process reengineering (BPR) projects and many others plan to begin projects soon. Since the near-simultaneous publication in 1990 of two articles on reengineering in Harvard Business Review and Sloan Managentent Review, reengineering has been on the...

Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is an essential tool before an information system project implementation. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) projects definitely require the standardization and fixation of business processes from customer order to shipment. Therefore, ERP implementations are well proven to be coupled with BPR, although the extend and timing of BPR with respect to ERP implem...

Biological phosphorus removal (BPR) techniques offer a number of advantages over chemical addition, including enhanced treatment, reduced energy consumption, and reduced sludge production. A rapid, low-cost method for determining the feasibility of biological phosphorus removal should allow these techniques to be more widely used. A simple test is proposed to determine the amount of phosphorus ...

Over the last few years, many factors have accelerated the need to improve business processes. New methods, technologies and major changes are rapidly bringing new capabilities to businesses. One approach for rapid change and spectacular improvement is the Business Process Reengineering. BPR is an important way to build organizations more efficient, effective and modernize. BPR is considered to...
