Business Process Re-Engineering (BPR)

Ever since the term Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) was first mentioned in an article by Michael Hammer in the Harvard Business Review, enterprises have embraced the concept of BPR to ensure their operations are both effective and efficient. The issue that inspired Michael Hammer to write this article was that he saw too many organizations investing heavily in adopting new technologies to automate their existing processes which were inherently ineffective and inefficient, to begin with.

Business models are used to define either the current state of a process, where the outcome is called the “as is” model, or to design a concept of how a process should work, thereby producing a “to be” model. By evaluating the difference between the current and future business state, business process analysts can determine if the existing business processes and their associated systems, policies, and procedures are coherent, or if a complete revamp is called for.

This ‘Gap Analysis’ should include a comprehensive study about how your business goals can be achieved by overcoming any existing flaws in your processes. Subsequently, business process analysis, re-engineering, and modeling can be used to redefine the way an organization carries out its core and supporting functions.
