Comments (0)
 

 Business process re-engineering is a key business strategy that allows for improved performance, lower costs and better margins through the analysis of the existing workflow and process designs. It focuses on the objectives of the organization and how the various processes help in achieving them. In the world of human resources, reengineering of these processes ensures that you deliver high quality services in an innovative and productive manner.

Advantages of reengineering 

Business process re-engineering brings multiple benefits to organizations that implement it. These mainly include improvements in the quality of work done, better management of time, reduced life cycle of projects, improved customer satisfaction, and definite lowering of costs incurred. 

Principles to be followed 

When creating a business process re-engineering framework for your organization, it is important to follow these seven basic principles, which will help you reap the benefits of such reengineering: 

·        - Organizing your processes around the outcomes rather than the tasks itself. 

          - Identifying all processes involved in any organization and prioritizing them according to their urgencies.

·        - Integrating information processing work and real work to generate information.

·        - Centralization of resources, especially resources that are not present in the same geographic location.

·        - Linking of parallel activities rather than simply integrating the results.

·        - Controlling the process by putting in a decision point where the work is performed.

·        - Capturing information at the source.

In addition to the above principles, reengineering success depends on the following factors, namely:

Adoption of proven methodology

·         - Creation of a compelling case for change

·         - Adoption of change management that is effective

·         - Creation of strategic alignments

·         - Sponsorship by top management and ensuring line alignment

·         - Ensuring better composition of the team doing the reengineering

Framework steps

When creating a business process re-engineering framework, it is important to follow certain basic steps, which will ensure its complete success on implementation. These are:

·        -  Articulating your vision and objectives with regard to the process as well as the business is the key to successful framework design.

·       - Secondly, it is important to identify the processes that require evaluation. This could include the processes that are most important to the company or those that are in direct conflict with the vision of the company.

·      - Analyzing, evaluating, and understanding the processes as they exist. This allows you to learn from your past mistakes and ensure that they are not repeated. Various tools are available today, which help in such analysis and evaluation.

·      - Factors that influence any process should be taken into account and analyzed. This includes people, technology, workflow as well as other outside factors. Anything and everything that actually plays a role or impacts performance at any level must be considered and evaluated for reengineering.

·        - Understanding your future requirements and growth is essential before actually building a framework that will truly succeed and improve your business. Once this is done, the framework should be created based on all the above factors.

Focusing on these issues will help you design and create a business process re-engineering framework that will truly help you save money while improving efficiency and productivity.
