(advantages and potential disadvantages)?
 Case study of Toyota (Kanban and E-Kanban)
What is BPR?
 A management approach aiming at
improvements by means of elevating
efficiency and effectiveness of the
processes that exist within and across
organizations.
 The use of information technology (IT) is
conceived as a major contributing factor
to accelerate benefits.
What is BPR?
 In 1990, Michael Hammer, published an
article in the Harvard Business Review
which management should improve nonvalue adding processes.
 This idea was rapidly adopted and by
1993, 65% of the Fortune 500 companies
had plans to adopt BPR concepts or
already applied BPR.
What are the basic concepts or principles,
techniques, deliverables behind it?
 Hammer's claim (1990): Most of the work
being done does not add any value for
customers, and this work should be
removed, not accelerated through
automation. Instead, companies should
reconsider their processes in order to
maximize customer value, while
minimizing the consumption of resources
required for delivering their product or
service.

What are the basic concepts or principles,
techniques, deliverables behind it?
 Methodology
1. Envision new processes
2. Initiating change
3. Process diagnosis
4. Process redesign
5. Reconstruction
6. Process monitoring
Where is it applicable?

A firm which
- Emphasizing on organizational efficiency
- Having repetitive operations
- Functional departments becoming barriers to change.
- Spending too much time and money in ineffective
coordination and communication.
- Doing work that really benefits customers with a little
time.
- Spending a lot of overheads
- Business processes’ design not handling changing
business environments or not taking advantages of
emerging technologies.
Why do we have to care?
 Some managers focusing on the wrong
issues.
- Even though they consider significance of
information technology
- Applying unnecessary automation to
processes
- Instead of managing non-value adding
processes
 Due to high competitions in business,
organizations need improvements.
 Rapid developments in IT fields.
When should someone use it?
Even it is difficult to define specific answers,
some factors can be concerned.
 Is the competitive outperforming the company
by factors?
 Are there many conflicts in the organization?
 Is there an extremely high frequency of
meetings?
 Are there excessive uses of non-structured
communication? (memos, emails, etc.)
 Is a more continuous approach of incremental
improvements not possible? (such as Kaizen)
What are the similar approaches available
in this field?
 Kaizen refers to a workplace 'quality'
strategy and is often associated with the
Toyota Production System and related to
various quality-control systems.
 English - Continuous Improvement
- Continual Improvement
 Japanese - Change for the better
- Improvement
What are the similar approaches available
in this field and make a comparison?

How one should go about in implementing
it (advantages & potential disadvantages)?
 Advantages
- Increase of efficiency productivity (such as
higher performance, cost and cycle time
reduction)
 Disadvantages
- The disregard of people in an organization
(such as layoffs, work environment,
employee satisfaction)
- Investments, update, and maintenance of
systems

Case study of Toyota
(Kanban and E-Kanban)
 Cycle time reduction
- Faster operations (internet transfer information
immediately)
 Performance increase
- More accuracy by internet tracking (Kanban can
be lost and difficult to tract)
- More flexibility of logistics (easily adjust orders)
 Cost Reduction
- Inventory and part stock area reduction (more
JIT-Just in time)
- Manpower reduction (fewer processes)
