Business Process Reengineering (BPR)<\/a> is a practice of rethinking and redesigning the way work is done to better support an organization’s mission and reduce costs. In all too many companies, reengineering has been not only a great success but also a great failure. After months, even years, of a careful redesign, these companies achieve dramatic improvements in individual processes only to watch overall results decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The promise of reengineering is not empty. It can actually deliver revolutionary process improvements, and major reengineering efforts are being conducted around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, companies cannot convey these results to the bottom line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Strategy that is BPR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is a Business Management strategy focused on the analysis and design of workflows and business processes within an organization. Often, companies direct Process Reengineering initiative on 2 key areas of business. One is in the use of modern technology to enhance data dissemination and the decision- making process. The second key area is the alteration of functional organizations to form functional teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a strategy, Business Process Reengineering can greatly impact on the organization. It can help organizations fundamentally rethink how work must be done to improve customer service, cut operational costs, and become world-class competitors. It can help companies radically restructure their organizations by focusing on the ground-up design of their business process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the process, there are 2 dimensions that are critical in translating these short-term narrow-focus process improvements<\/a> into long-term profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the 2 Dimensions of BPR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
  1. Breadth<\/strong>. Breadth is a dimension of BPR that focuses on the range of activity types within a process. It includes the identification of activities includes in the process being redesigned that are critical for value creation<\/a> in the overall business unit. Breadth can reduce overall business unit costs and can even reveal unexpected opportunities for a redesign.<\/li>
  2. Depth<\/strong>. This is the dimension of BPR that focuses on the abstraction levels of process logic within a process. It refers to how many and how much of the depth levers change as a result of reengineering<\/a>. Depth provides the most dramatic process cost reduction and avoids the classic reengineering pitfall of focusing on fixing the status quo.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Having a good understanding of the 2 Dimensions of BPR<\/a> will open a range of opportunities for organizations to achieve innovative performance and enhancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
