摘要
The goal of business process reengineering (BPR) is to achieve dramatic improvements in business measures of performance by radically changing the process design. This paper provides a structural definition of the redesign search space using the number of employee types and the number of activities. A systematic approach that combines some linear programming tools with unique BPR principles is then proposed to support the technical redesign of the current process. The approach is illustrated using a public firm process. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
