Business Process Re-engineering
There are seven principles of process reengineering to streamline the work process and thereby achieve significant levels of improvement in quality, time management, and cost:
- Organize around outcomes, not tasks.
- Identify all the processes in an organization and prioritize them in order of redesign urgency.
- Integrate information processing work into the real work that produces the information.
- Treat geographically dispersed resources as though they were centralized.
- Link parallel activities in the workflow instead of just integrating their results.
- Put the decision point where the work is performed, and build control into the process.
- Capture information once and at the source.
Business Process Re-engineering is critical for improving operating efficiencies in the organization and these higher levels of efficiency translate into real cost savings and time for the organization.
