5. History of BPR
• The concept of BPR was first introduced in the
late 1990 by Michael Hammer's written a
Harvard Business Review article and received
increased attention a few years later, when
Hammer and James Champy published their
best-selling book,Reengineering the
Corporation

6. The rationale behind BPR
• redesign and reorganization of an enterprise is
necessary to lower costs and increase quality
of service and that information technology is
the key enabler for that radical change.

7. Advantages of BPR
• Hammer and Champy suggested seven reengineering principles to
streamline the work process and thereby achieve significant levels of
improvement in quality, time management, speed and profitability:
• 1. Organize around outcomes, not tasks.
2. Identify all the processes in an organization and prioritize them in order
of redesign urgency.
3. Integrate information processing work into the real work that produces
the information.
4. Treat geographically dispersed resources as though they were
centralized.
5. Link parallel activities in the workflow instead of just integrating their
results.
6. Put the decision point where the work is performed, and build control
into the process.
7. Capture information once and at the source.
