This document discusses business process reengineering (BPR). BPR involves fundamentally rethinking and redesigning business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in areas like cost, quality, service, and speed. It summarizes why organizations reengineer processes due to demanding customers, competition, and changing needs. However, complacency, political resistance, and fear of failure can prevent reengineering. BPR seeks to improve cost, service, quality, and speed using a systems perspective focused on end customers and radical process improvement through integrated change. Key steps involve selecting processes, understanding the current process, developing a vision for improvement, and executing the plan.
