ERP enabled Business Process Re-engineering

Learning Objectives of the unit : Explain the role of Business Process Reengineering (BPR) within the organization Understand the origins and key characteristics of BPR ERP & BPR, Work Flow Management. FIVE STAGE AS IS / TO BE ANALYSIS.

2

What is BPR ?

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. (Hammer & Champy, 1993)

3

The Need for BPR Customers (know what they want and are willing to pay for it) Competition (Continuous increase will result in changes to price, quality, selective service, and delivery) Change (continues to occur in people & culture, organizational structures, policies & procedures, and technology)

4

The Need for BPR Techniques lag behind technology (Technologically capable, but not functionally operational) Significant gap between the actual and desired results, creating a business Problem. Fragmented piecemeal systems (focus on vertical functions, with the existence of redundancies of effort and actions). Integration across departmental and organizational boundaries (information and operations are needed).

5

BPR is Not? Automation Downsizing Outsourcing Process improvement projects / activities Continuous Improvement Activity Reorganizing

6

BPR Versus Process Simplification

Process Simplification Incremental Change Process-Led Assume Attitudes & Behaviors Management-Led Various Simultaneous Projects

Process Reengineering Radical Transformation Vision-Led Change Attitudes & Behaviors Director-Led Limited Number of Initiatives

(Source Coulson-Thomas, 1992)

BPR Versus Continuous Improvement

Continuous Improvement Incremental Change People Focus Low Investment Improve Existing Work Unit Driven

Process Reengineering Radical Transformation People & Technology Focus High Investment Rebuild Champion Driven

10

What is a Process? A specific ordering of work activities across time and space, with a beginning, an end, and clearly identified inputs and outputs: a structure for action. (Davenport, 1993)

11

What is a Business Process??? A collection of activities that take one or more inputs and turn that into a product that adds value to a customer A group of logically related tasks that use the firm's resources to provide customer-oriented results in support of the organization's objectives

12

Why Organizations Dont Reengineer? Complacency Political Resistance

New Developments Fear of Unknown and Failure

13

Performance BPR seeks improvements of Cost Quality Service Speed

14

Key Characteristics Systems Philosophy Global Perspective on Business Processes Radical Improvement Integrated Change People Centred Focus on End-Customers Process-Based

15

Key Characteristics Several jobs are combined into one Employees are empowered to make decisions Steps in business process: natural order Process may have multiple versions Work is performed where it makes the most sense

16

Key Characteristics Controls, checks, other non-value-added work is minimized Reconciliation is minimized - minimize external contact points Hybrid centralized / decentralized operation is used A single point of contact is provided for the customer

18

Process Based Added Value BPR Initiatives must add-value over and above the existing process

Customer-Led BPR Initiatives must meet the needs of the customer

19

Radical Improvement Sustainable Process improvements need to become firmly rooted within the organization

Stepped Approach Process improvements will not happen over night they need to be gradually introduced Also assists the acceptance by staff of the change

20

Integrated Change Viable Solutions Process improvements must be viable and practical

Balanced Improvements Process improvements must be realistic

Enterprise integration Departments are consolidated Several jobs are combined into one job \

21

People-Centred Business Understanding Empowerment & Participation Organizational Culture Worker empowerment There is both horizontal and vertical reorganization Handoffs are eliminated There are fewer rules and less coordination is required

22

Focus on End-Customers Process improvements must relate to the needs of the organization and be relevant to the endcustomers to which they are designed to serve

23

Re-engineering Redesign of processes (Fundamental change in business processes) From mass production to mass customization (Mass production of the same products --- Mass production of different products) Cycle time reduction (Change in the time it takes to complete a process from start to end; time can provide competitive advantage Restructuring organizations (May need to restructure the entire organization to reap the benefits of BPR)

Rules For Data Symbols

30

Rules For Data SymbolsStartGenerate Purchase Order

Symbol used to identify the start of a business process Activities must be described as a verb Decisions have only two possibilities (Yes & No)

OK?

Yes

No Crossing lines are not allowed If one side of the decision has no further processes defined this symbol has to be used

End

31

Rules For Data SymbolsI Continuation symbol within the same number must be present twice on the same page Name the document Off- Page Connector is used to continue a process at the next page or to let the process to flow over at the previous to the next page. If more than one is needed use A, B, C, D Name the data

32

Rules For Data SymbolsPredefined Processes always have a relation to level and stream by a number in the line below a sub-process description A predefined process must be described in a different flowchart. To make the relation clear between the predefined process and the belonging flowchart a unique alpha numeric number should be assigned to this predefined process.

Implementing a BPR Strategy

35

Key Steps To BPR

Initiation - Select The ProcessesDocumenting the processes Understand The Current Process AS ISDevelop & Communicate Vision Of Improved TO BE Processes

IMPLEMENTATION of ERP enabled BPR

36

Initiation - Select the Process

Crucial Tasks Persuasive Case for Action WHY BPR ? Select the Processes to be Reengineered Sponsorship / budget established Appoint the Project Team to Lead the Reengineering Initiative committed (full time Core team with extended team for support). Develop Project scope, plan and milestones A communication plan information flow

37

Select the Process Review Business Strategy and Customer Requirements Select Core Processes Understand Customer Needs Dont Assume Anything

38

Appoint the Process Team Appoint BPR Champion Identify Process Owners

Establish Executive Improvement Team Provide Training to Executive Team

39

Core Skills Required Capacity to view the organization as a whole Ability to focus on end-customers Ability to assume individual and collective responsibility Ability to challenge fundamental assumptions Courage to deliver and venture into unknown areas

Develop & Communicate Vision of Improved Process

Communicate with all employees so that they are aware of the vision of the future Always provide information on the progress of the BPR initiative - good and bad. Demonstrate assurance that the BPR initiative is both necessary and properly managed

51

Develop & Communicate Vision of Improved Process

Promote individual development by indicating options that are available Indicate actions required and those responsible Tackle any actions that need resolution Direct communication to reinforce new patterns of desired behavior

52

Identify Action Plan Develop an Action Plan Appoint Process Owners

Simplify the Process to Reduce Process Time Remove any Bureaucracy that may hinder implementation

53

Identify Action Plan Remove no-value-added activities Standardize Process and Automate Where Possible Up-grade Equipment Plan/schedule the changes Construct in-house metrics and targets Introduce and firmly establish a feedback system Audit, Audit, Audit

54

IMPLEMENT Plan Qualify/certify the process Perform periodic qualification reviews Define and eliminate process problems Evaluate the change impact on the business and on customers Benchmark the process Provide advanced team training

ERP IN MODELLING BUSINESS PROCESSES

Focus Business Processes Process Redesign Process Implementation Integration of all functions / across divisions Information flow accurate & on-time MIS reports for facilitating decision making/actions Used to automate transactional and laborious business processes.

58

WORK FLOW MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN ERP Work Flow (Routing) system in ERP is an automated organizational process facilitating communication of work content, coordination between departments / people and control of processes. WFM integrates : Technology Organization / divisions Methodology (processes) Collaboration of Business processes. Communication within / outside using SCM / CRM etc., Human interaction reqd. to meet customer requirements.

59

TASKS of the Re-engineering team

1) determine measures of performance 2) install measures of performance 3) delineate entire existing process in all its gory detail 4) perform process value analysis and activity-based costing 5) benchmark processes by comparison with other processes

60

Contd 6) design re-invented process 7) simulate re-invented process 8) prepare report with recommendations 9) install re-invented process 10) measure improvements

61

BPR Challenges

62

Continuous Evaluation

Is reengineering truly transformational? Will reengineering improve customer relations? Has reengineering cut across the organization? Is information technology playing an integral role in the reengineering solution? Does it hurt?

4-62

63

Common Problems Process Simplification is Common - True BPR is Not Desire to Change Not Strong Enough Starting Point is the Existing Process & Not a Blank Slate Commitment to Existing Processes Too Strong Quick Fix Approach

64

Common Problems with BPR Process under review too big or too small Reliance on existing process too strong The Costs of the Change Seem Too Large BPR Isolated Activity not Aligned to the Business Objectives Allocation of Resources Poor Timing and Planning Keeping the Team and Organization on Target

65

Managerial Issues Ethical issues (BPR projects may lead to the need to lay-off, retrain, or transfer employees) BPR implementation (Few organization-wide BPR effort) Incremental improvement programs BPR tools (Often uses existing tools rather than creation of new tools) Role of IT (IT should be a supportive, not lead role in BPR projects) Failures (Big projects tend to increase failure rates)

66

Summary Reengineering is a fundamental rethinking and redesign of business processes to achieve dramatic improvements BPR has emerged from key management traditions such as scientific management and systems thinking

Rules and symbols play an integral part of all BPR initiatives
