This paper assesses the rise of business process re-engineering (BPR) as a new approach to managing and organising work. Organisations wishing to implement BPR may either choose a set of generic business processes or devise a set of processes specific to their own situation. An approach to developing enterprise specific business processes is then proposed, based on an analogy with the introduct...

In the information economy, businesses are changing more often and more rapidly than ever before. The lessons learned from a decade of business process reengineering (BPR) research may provide insights to researchers and managers trying to understand and successfully navigate these changes. This paper examines the successes and failures of groupware-supported BPR processes in four organizations...

Our primaty concern is innovation in business processes, especially with focus on how to analyze occurrences of radical rnnovation as a result of Business Process Redesign (BPR) pr0Ject.s. BPR is a new field. and there has so far been little development of theories and methodology in the area. Important questions we address are: can BPR and innovatlon in business processes be studied according ...

Addressing to improve the trustworthiness of Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) system, this paper proposes a trustworthy construction approach to solve the problem mentioned above. Firstly, we analyze related literatures about the topic, we realize that main reason causing to reduce trustworthiness of BPR system is due to break of trustworthy connectivity between front configuration tools a...

The elevated T-maze (ETM) is an apparatus derived from the elevated plus-maze test, which is used to evaluate anxiety. Because anxiety is a biasing factor in models of memory, this study proposed the ETM as a task for the simultaneous assessment of memory and anxiety in mice. The ETM consists of one enclosed and two open arms. The procedure is based on the avoidance of open spaces learned durin...

Priority setting is an important component of systematic planning in health promotion and also factors into the development of a comprehensive evaluation plan. The basic priority rating (BPR) model was introduced more than 50 years ago and includes criteria that should be considered in any priority setting approach (i.e., use of predetermined criteria, standardized comparisons, and a rubric tha...

Business Process Redesign (BPR) helps rethinking a process in order to enhance its performance. Practitioners have been developing methodologies to support BPR implementation. However, most methodologies lack actual guidance on deriving a process design threatening the success of BPR. In this paper, we suggest the use of a case-based reasoning technique (CBR) to support solving new problems by ...

A second group of proteorhodopsin-encoding genes (blue-absorbing proteorhodopsin, BPR) differing by 20-30% in predicted primary structure from the first-discovered green-absorbing (GPR) group has been detected in picoplankton from Hawaiian deep sea water. Here we compare BPR and GPR absorption spectra, photochemical reactions, and proton transport activity. The photochemical reaction cycle of H...

Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is one of the existing methods in the literature that lead to evolutionary changes and adjustments that have become a necessity in today’s business. As part of BPR projects, we need to compare process models to reference models to detect differences and propose improvements thereafter to remedy them. This paper presents a state of the art on works that were ...

Business Process Reengineering (BPR) advocates the fundamental examination and redesign of business processes, recognising that the legacy of scientific management has been the excessive fragmentation of work practices in organisations today. This is reflected in the hierarchical structuring of organisations around functional departments, with individual and departmental goals displacing overal...
