Empirically testing ES success factors in business process reengineering

Article Abstract:

The promise offered by expert systems has been demonstrated and their use in industry and government to solve various business problems has become widespread. A study was conducted to empirically test a set of factors proposed in a previous study that have been advanced as determinants of the success of expert systems when the system is used for automating existing business processes or making relatively minor changes in the process model. Findings suggest that expert systems can have considerable positive benefits derived from business process reengineering projects.

Reengineering the production planning process in the food industry

Article Abstract:

A study investigated the just-in-time production planning process and developed a reengineering framework to facilitate workload streamlining in a multi-stage facility that is fully committed to just in time manufacturing technology and processes within an environment of incremental product innovation. The reengineered production planning process underscores planning options to avoid the process imbalance and loss of production potential that can proceed innovation in a just in time production-oriented plant.

The strategic evaluation of candidate business process reengineering projects

Article Abstract:

A study developed a methodology and supporting framework for the assessment and choice of business processes to target for business process reengineering implementation. The approach is called the strategic multiattribute evaluation and justification technique and it offers a number of advantages. One limitation of this method when applied in actual, real-life situations is that it may call for the use of significant resources.
