Subject:
What are the commonly used practices of BPR project implementation?
================================================================
Response:
For an enterprise, BPR is a significant and complex
systems engineering to a wide range of activities and work involved in the
project implementation process. We need to
understand some of the methods and tools for BPR. Techniques and methods can be used in the BPR. Here are some commonly used approaches.
Brainstorming and the Delphi method
Discuss the company's strategic vision, to determine the
timing of reengineering the process, brainstorming and the Delphi method is two useful ways. In brainstorming
discussions, participants were encouraged to put forward as bold vision. Use brainstorming to help us find the shortcomings in the
existing business process, and proposed a fundamental transformation of ideas. Delphi rule is often used to demonstrate the feasibility
of reengineering. After
several rounds of solicitation of experts’
views, receive the unanimous opinion ultimately. It is very
useful to reduce the risk of the BPR, set the correct information strategy.
Value chain
analysis
Value chain analysis is to identify a "value"
whether to give the enterprise a competitive advantage. This theory was first published in the
Potter's a paper on how to join chain analysis and information technology together,
later to be developed into an important means of corporate strategy, the
construction of enterprise information technology is very important. Analysis of
the value of each chain of activities, you can find out what kinds of
activities are in need of rehabilitation, which can
achieve differentiation and to generate cost advantages.
ABC cost method, also known as operating cost analysis
Mainly used for the description and cost analysis of
existing processes. The ABC cost
analysis and value chain analysis is similar to a certain degree of existing business
decomposition, and find out the basic activities. However, the operating cost analysis focus on analyzes the cost of various activities, especially
activities in the consumption of labor, and resources etc.
Benchmarking
method
The benchmarking method can be used in the establishment
of the reform objectives and vision, to determine the benchmark for other
aspects of process reengineering. Have a number of successful businesses in many
industries, these business practices can be emulated by other enterprises in
the industry, can also be some specific indicators of these enterprises as a
benchmark for other companies.
