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 ...

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...

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 ...

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...

Bayesian Personalized Ranking (BPR) is a representative pairwise learningmethod for optimizing recommendationmodels. It is widely known that the performance of BPR depends largely on the quality of the negative sampler. In this short paper, we make two contributions with respect to BPR. First, we find that sampling negative items from the whole space is unnecessary and may even degrade the perf...

In a previous paper [5], the authors investigated extensively the Landweber-Araki Real cobordism spectrum MR ([1, 7]), and its stable summand at p = 2 called BPR. An Adams-like spectral sequence based on BPR was constructed, and homotopy groups of many spectra related to BPR were calculated. The goal of the present note is to begin investigating the question as to how BPR-theory contributes to ...

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...
