A major component of any business reengineering effort is the identification of business processes, and the development of software to support these processes. The development of the software is itself a process, commonly called the software process. One reason for reengineering a business is to decentralize its mode of operation, or to make a decentralized mode more effective. We contend that ...

In this paper, after analyzing the predicaments that Chinese traditional logistics enterprises face while launching modern logistics services, the theory of reforming Chinese traditional logistics enterprises with Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is put forward. Then the basic implementation principles are discussed, and the steps of BPR are also analyzed for Chinese logistics enterprises. ...

This paper describes a unifying structure for the full spectrum of activities that constitute a reengineering project. Part of the framework's "value added" is its usefulness as a reference model for planning a reengineering project and for identifying, describing, understanding, assessing, or evaluating the technical, managerial, and project-related factors that characterize reengineering effo...

This issue of JSIS provides a special opportunity to contrast three different case studies. The first case study is about a large bank in Belgium that undertakes a successful reengineering project. The second case is about a US telecommunications company whose ambitious reengineering project ends up in a fiasco. The third one is about a small French firm that grows globally through electronic c...

In reengineering an object-oriented system we want to benefit from the expertise developed in earlier efforts. It is therefore essential to have a way to communicate expertise at different levels: from knowledge about how to approach a system to be reengineered, to knowledge about improving code by eliminating ’bad’ style. In this paper we propose to use a pattern form to communicate knowledge ...
