This study guides organizational and cultural variables, which seem to play crucial roles in user satisfaction of ERP implementation projects in developing country such as Thailand. The literature review was based on a multi-disciplinary research approach by incorporating organizational factors, cultural dimensions, and user satisfaction in implementation of ERP for developing countries. The ei...

Recently, it has been reported that biological phosphorus removal (BPR) can be induced by an aerobic/extended-idle (AEI) regime. This study further investigated the effect of initial pH ranging from 6.6 to 8.2 on BPR in the AEI process, and compared the BPR performance between the AEI and the anaerobic/oxic (A/O) regimes under their optimal initial pH value. Experimental results firstly showed ...

Change projects put a high demand on people’s ability to change mindset. It requires motivation and commitment to take on another perspective than the existing one. Common methods like BPR, and TQM, tend to fail in motivating and engaging people sufficiently to reach the goals. In this paper we outline an alternative method for driving change management. We propose the use of myths, tales, and ...

Modern manufacturing enterprises must collaborate with a large number of suppliers to design and produce their products. Management of these supply chains is crucial. This paper proposes a simulation-based, supply chain management system, which supports the implementation of BPR in an integrated system environment. The scope of the BPR includes management processes for production and operations...

The focus of presentation is technology management, especially activities for technology adoption and technology transfer. The framework for discussion is process management, which is closely related with quality management. Especially the recent concept of business process re-engineering (BPR) has introduced methods and tools, which are migrating from design and production environment towards ...

Technical Notes in BPR usually originate when a progress report goes beyond the usual form to present a wealth of detail about some single aspect of the subject under investigation . In other cases, a progress report may simply require a more generous physical format to do justice to its content, in the opinion of the Editor . BPR Technical Notes are carefully studied by the publication's staff...

In this paper we intend to show how the challenges of managing a Business Process Reengineering (BPR) project are consistent with the ones of a Systems Development project. As traditional management techniques were no longer appropriate in the changing business environment, companies employed BPR to achieve elevated business performance. Similarly, as traditional systems development approaches ...

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. ...

Current trends place increasing emphasis on enterprise modeling as an effective means of making BPR initiatives successful. Current modeling technology allows the use of enterprise models to go far beyond descriptive purposes; in fact, such models can play a major role in defining and managing business processes and in mapping business processes to support systems such as ERPs and workflow syst...
