Reengineering Defined


 Reengineering Defined
 Valfredo Pareto
 Early 20th century Italian economist
 80 / 20 role
 80 % of the effective expanded in an process is caused by
20 % of the input
 Ford’s concepts
 We pay when we receive the invoice
 We pay when we receive the goods
 We pay when we use the goods


 Key learning themes from the Re-engineering Experience
1 Process Orientation
2 Ambition
3 Role breaking Brake old traditional rules
4 Creative use of
information
Technology
Create new process model as per another
information technology.
IT acts as an enabler that allows
organization to do work in radically ways.


 The truth of Re-engineering
 Reengineering is not restructuring or downsizing.
 Downsizing or restructuring means doing less with less whereas re
engineering means doing more with less.
 Business reengineering is synonymous with innovation.
MB 010 – Business Process, Re Engineering
 Reengineering is the fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of
business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in critical,
contemporary measures of performance, such as cost, quality, service
and speed.
 In reengineering, in order to meet contemporary demand of quality,
service, flexibility & low cost, the process must be kept simple.


 Characteristics of Re-engineering Process
Several jobs are combined into one
 Several jobs combine into one may firmly distinct jobs as tasks we
integrated & compressed into one
 Customer service representative
 Performs the entire process & also serve as the single
point of contact for the customer
 Case team / Case team members
Worker make decisions
 Vertical Compression
 Workers had to go to managerial hierarchy for an answer
 Workers themselves now do that portion of a job that firmly
managers performed
The steps in the processes are performed in a natural orders
 Freed form the tyranny of straight line sequences
 Decline arising
 Many jobs get done simultaneously
 Reducing the amount of time that is elapsed between the
early and late steps of a process
Processes have Multiple versions
 End of standardization
 Traditional processors – Mass Production & Mass Market
 Need of multiple versions of the same process
Work is performed where IT makes the most senses
 Shifting of work across organizational boundaries
Checks and controls are reduced
 Non value adding work
 Checking of non value [-] adding work
 No tightly checking
Reconciliation is minimized
 Low inventory
 Chain management
 Negative inventory carrying costs
 Infinite return on capital
 Continuous replenishment
A case manager provided at single point of conflict
 The steps of a process either are so complex or are
dispersed
 Has to answer the customer’s question & solve
customer’s problems
 CSR – Customer service representative
Hybrid centralized operations are prevalent
 Ability to combine the advantage of centralization &
decentralization
 Eliminate the bureaucratic machinery
