2. What is business process re-engineering (BPR)?
 Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) is
the radical redesign of business processes to
achieve dramatic improvements in critical
aspects like quality, output, cost, service, and
speed. Business process reengineering (BPR)
aims at cutting down enterprise costs and
process redundancies on a very huge scale.

3. Five steps of Business Process Re-engineering (BPR)
 1. Map the current state of your business processes
 Gather data from all resources–both software tools and stakeholders. Understand how the process
is performing currently.
 2. Analyse them and find any process gaps or disconnects
 Identify all the errors and delays that hold up a free flow of the process. Make sure if all details are
available in the respective steps for the stakeholders to make quick decisions.
 3. Look for improvement opportunities and validate them
 Check if all the steps are absolutely necessary. If a step is there to solely inform the person, remove
the step, and add an automated email trigger.
 4. Design a cutting-edge future-state process map
 Create a new process that solves all the problems you have identified. Don’t be afraid to design a
totally new process that is sure to work well. Designate KPIs for every step of the process.
