BUSINESS PROCESS RE-ENGINEERING

Reviving the Dimensions!!

         Chartered accountancy is the core of all business, be it big or small. It is a career with unlimited aspects and dimensions. In today’s world, the opportunities linked with this profession are unlimited with mastery in areas of Taxation, Audit and Financial Services.

Emerging opportunity for chartered accountants has been found in BPR.

My ideas on Business Process Re-engineering!! 

 “Business process re-engineering is a business management strategy, originally pioneered in the early 1990s, focusing on the analysis and design of workflows and business processes within an organization. BPR aimed to help organizations fundamentally rethink how they do their work in order to dramatically improve customer service, cut operational costs, and become world-class competitors.”     

                                                                                     - Wikipedia

          The organizational Structure plays a vital role in development of any business. This factor has the power that surpasses the growth from limited to infinity. Read- BPR As Process Structure. It is a renowned principle that “Better the structure farther the reach”.

Some important BPR success factors include, but are not limited to the following:

1.    BPR team composition.

2.    Business needs analysis.

3.    Adequate IT infrastructure.

4.    Effective change management.

5.    Ongoing continuous improvement

          Generally, BPR does not only mean change, but rather dramatic change. The constituents of this drastic change include the overhaul of organizational structures, management systems, employee responsibilities and performance measurements, incentive systems, skills development, and the use of IT.

          With Increase in scale and opportunities, the reengineering process becomes complex and uncontrollable. Only 30 out of hundred reengineering motives are proven successful, why is that?? Researches show that it is the lack of covering all aspects of industry in application as well as structure effectiveness. Experts opinions shall always be given the utmost consideration. 

Role of Chartered Accountant

          

          Chartered Accountant being experts in fields of finance as well as operation, posses aspects of qualifications that are perfectly suited for such jobs. The professionals inherit full-fledged experience over any industry’s model and always had been updated with its facts and figures required in performance of such activity.
