Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is an important aspect of Business Process Management. The concept of BPR has been widely discussed in the past decade; however, it remains undetermined how prevalent the applications of Davenport, Hammer and Champy’s ideas are, especially with respect to their relevancy for actual business practice. This paper analyses which ideas of BPR actually have been ...

Business process reengineering (BPR) is one of a company's major instruments to achieve improved performance. BPR projects almost always include major efforts on developing and integrating information technology. This paper addresses how BPR and application development may be methodologically integrated, building on a product-based design of business processes and a component-based IT developme...

ciples of business process reengineering (BPR) over the past decade. However, in hindsight, it is becoming clear that results are not quite as positive as they first appeared. Recent studies suggest that the BPR success rate (i.e., the frequency with which BPR initiatives achieve, sustain, and continuously improve on performance targets) may be as low as 30%. Many executives confirm that the he...

BACKGROUND The Battery of Reasoning Tests 5 (BPR-5) aims to assess the reasoning ability of individuals, using sub-tests with different formats and contents that require basic processes of inductive and deductive reasoning for their resolution. The BPR has three sequential forms: BPR-5i (for children from first to fifth grade), BPR-5 - Form A (for children from sixth to eighth grade) and BPR-5 ...

Today, the development of information technology has led business process reengineering (BPR) into an age of inter-organizational BPR: rethinking and redesigning business processes at both the enterprise and supply chain level. Meanwhile, growth in BPR results in the popularity of business modeling techniques. The rapidly growing number of techniques induces the complexity in the selection of a...

Most ofthe recent research on business process redesign (BPR) focused on people or management related issues. Completing a successful BPR project however, requires a disciplined liletliod to Inodel the target business processes effectively as well. Currently available process modeling methods fail to meet the specific BPR process characteristics (cross-functional, customer-oriented) and the ide...

Despite the widespread adoption of BPR, it has in many cases repeatedly failed to deliver its promised results. The lack of holistic implementation approach to exploiting BPR is seen as one of the important reasons amongst others, behind BPR failures. Yet, a relative void in the literature remains the scarcity of suitable models and frameworks that address the implementation issues surrounding ...

BACKGROUND By-products of pickled radish (BPR) are considered food waste. Approximately 300 g/kg of the total mass of raw materials becomes BPR. Production of pickled radish has grown continuously and is presently about 40,000 metric tons annually in Korea. The objective of the present study was thus to explore the possibility of using BPR as a ruminant feed ingredient. RESULTS BPR contained ...

An important shortcoming in the Business Process Redesign (BPR) literature is the lack of concrete guidance on how to improve an existing business process. Our earlier work has aimed at filling this gap by identifying a set of BPR best practices. This paper takes a further step by showing how a set of best practices can be used to derive a redesign framework for a specific domain, in this case ...

Business process reengineering (BPR) has been a popular business improvement strategy for the past decade. However, Holland and Kumar (Getting past the obstacles to successful reengineering, Business Horizons, 1995, p. 79) noted that 60–80% of BPR initiatives have been unsuccessful. An extensive review of the literature revealed significant gaps in research in this area of technology and innova...
