Process View
A process consists of the following: Roles and responsibilities of the people (roles) assigned to do the work Appropriate tools and equipment to support individuals in doing their jobs Procedures and methods defining how to do the tasks and relationships between the task Definition : A systematic series of activities directed to some end

Varieties of Processes
As-is Defines how you are doing business today Provides a baseline for future improvement efforts To-be Defines future (e.g. new and improved) process with a desired end-state
Benefits of defining your processes and procedures: Provides visibility into areas of quality, productivity, cost and schedule Improves communication and understanding Aids in the planning & execution of plans Provides the ability to capture Lessons Learned Helps facilitate the analysis/execution of organization-wide processes Provides basis for training & skills assessment

Process Orientation is a new paradigm for the organization of a business. Instead of the traditional inward-bound functional orientation, which divides the company into functions like sales, production, procurement, and product development, process orientation organizes companies around their processes. The basic idea is, to have everybody in the company in a systematic way better and directly serve the customer, who is at the receiving end of business processes. Process thinking and managing is at the heart of Business Reengineering. Members of the organization are no longer looking upward into the hierarchy, but ahead to the customers, who ultimately drive the organization. Business Reengineering aims at fundamental or frame-breaking change. A reengineering exercise challenges the existing framework, questions attitudes and behaviors, and might suggest the introduction of new Information Technology. In practice though, simplification and reengineering can overlap and together form the process orientation of an organization (Coulson-Thomas, 1994).
of all the steps of a process. Information gathering -- identifying objectives, risks, and key controls in a process. Interviewing and mapping -- understanding the point of view of individuals in the process and designing actual maps Analysis -- utilizing tools and approaches to make the process run more effectively and efficiently.
Process Mapping
The terms process mapping, process description, and process modeling are often used interchangeably. However, they identify three different, although similar, tasks. Process mapping Is a method of gathering and displaying an intuitive (phenomenological) graphical display of the process situation. Process description It is the gathering and structuring of the enterprise knowledge about the process. It is focused on documentation of the facts (or beliefs) which are known to the owners, operators, and customers of a process.
Process modeling is a mechanism for constructing a simplified or ideal view of the process that is suitable for quantitative analysis (e.g., consistency completeness, simulation, and cost/benefit model analysis). Each has its place in BPR efforts. Normally we start with constructing a process-map.

Case : IBM Solution Delivery Problem When IBM started reengineering in 1992, the guiding principle was to become more customer-centered. Twelve customer relationship processes were identified and used as a basis for the reengineering project. One example is "solutions delivery": a contract between IBM and the customer for a complete IT system, including hardware, software, technical support, consulting services and third party products. The redesigned process moved the responsibility for pricing to the case team, who used "pricing tool" software. This eliminated a nearly two month delay that formerly occurred when pricing was referred to IBM headquarters. Q . Map As Is and To Be after Redesign
performed. This phase is the documentation and description of the existing business processes using methodologies which will highlight the relationships between the various functions or activities within the enterprise. These functions or activities are essentially those essential pieces that are needed to perform the business process. As-Is Analysis phase of BPR is aimed specifically at identifying disconnects within existing business processes

TO-BE Process
The goal of To-Be process design is to produce one or more alternatives to the current situation, which satisfy goals of the enterprise as stated in the business case analysis and which satisfy the change-requirements. We propose a model to depict how process can be redesigned more efficiently achieving business benefits. Draw an TO BE Flowchart for Driving License Issue process At RTO ( Class Exercise)
"Business 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." -- Dr. Michael Hammer
BPR Methodology/ Steps of BPR Project Phases Required For Successful BPR: Phase 1: Begin Organizational Change Phase 2: Build the Reengineering Organization Phase 3: Identify BPR Opportunities Phase 4: Understand the Existing Process Phase 5: Reengineer the Process Phase 6: Blueprint the New Business System Phase 7: Perform the Transformation
Phase 2-Build the Reengineering Organization - Identify the core/high-level processes - Recognize potential change enablers - Gather performance metrics within industry - Gather performance metrics outside industry - Select processes that should be reengineered - Prioritize selected processes
- Evaluate pre-existing business strategies - Consult with customers for their desires - Determine customer's actual needs - Formulate new process performance objectives - Establish key process characteristics - Identify potential barriers to implementation
Phase 4 -Understand the Existing Process Activities: - Understand why the current steps are performed - Model the current process - Understand how technology is currently used - Understand how information is currently used - Understand the current organizational structure - Compare current process with the new objectives
Phase 5: Reengineer the Process Activities: - Ensure the diversity of the reengineering team - Question current operating assumptions - Brainstorm using BPR principles - Evaluate the impact of new technologies - Consider the perspectives of stakeholders - Use customer value as the focal point
Phase 6-Blueprint the New Business System Activities: - Define the new flow of work - Model the new process steps - Model the new information requirements - Document the new organizational structure - Describe the new technology specifications - Record the new personnel management systems - Describe the new values and culture required
Phase 7-Perform the Transformation Activities: Develop a migration strategy and migration action plan Develop metrics for measuring performance during implementation Involve the impacted staff Establish the new organizational structures Map new tasks and skill requirements to staff and Re-allocate workforce Educate staff about the new process and new technology used Decide how new technologies will be introduced Transition to the new technologies Incorporate Continuous process improvement mechanisms
