Technique of the Joint Use of System Dynamics and Cognitive Analysis for Reengineering of Complex Economic and Social-Political Systems

The technique of the joint use of system dynamics and cognitive analysis for reengineering of complex systems has been proposed. The use of the system dynamics technique at the initial stage of reengineering processes faces the certain difficulties due to the fact of presence of large amount of parameters.It is rather difficult to choose correctly all levels’ and variables’ initial values and change rates. Arbitrary assignment of initial values leads to radical incorrect reengineering procedures. In order to avoid this undesirable result the approach presented in the article assumes the implementation of the cognitive analysis technique at the initial stage. After revelation of fundamental trends of development and screening of insignificant factors system dynamics methodology is proposed to be implementedcognitive analysis, system dynamics, reengineering, impulse oriented weighted graphs, qualitative assessment of processes, emergency management

The Complementariness of the Business Process Reengineering and Activity-Based Management

In order to sustain long term growth and development, an enterprise has to envisage and implement contemporary management innovations altogether. In transition economies, like Serbia is, it is of great importance to redesign business processes and activities, to analyse activity profitability in order to select value-added activities and reduce non-value added ones. This paper considers the possibility for complementary implementation of the business process reengineering and activity based management in the process of long term efficiency improvement. Namely, the basic postulate of business process reengineering concept might be established in the process of activity based management implementation and conversely.business process reengineering, activity based management, enterprise, efficiency

Reengineering Production Systems: the Royal Netherlands Naval Dockyard

Reengineering production systems in an attempt to meet tight cost, quality and leadtime standards has received considerable attention in the last decade. In this paper, we discuss the reengineering process at the Royal Netherlands Naval Dockyard. The process starts with a characterisation and a careful analysis of the production system and the set of objectives to be pursued. Next, a new production management structure is defined after which supporting planning and control systems are designed and a number of organisational changes are carried through. In this way, the Dockyard may combine high technological capabilities with an excellent logistic performance

SMEs COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE AND ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING IMPLEMENTATION: FINDING FROM CENTRAL JAVA

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is an integrated application software for widespread use in the organization. The aim of this study is to determine factors that affect the successful implementation of ERP in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Central Java in order to build competitive advantage. To test the hypothesis, this study utilized data from 107 SMEs in Central Java. The results revealed that variable Business Process Reengineering have the greatest influence toward the successful implementation in Small and Medium Enterprises. It is suggested that SMEs should gain knowledge and solidify its business process reengineering before implementing ERP

Knowledge Management Applied To Business Process Reengineering

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the role of knowledge management (KM) as a critical factor for the business process reengineering (BPR) success. It supports the theory that the knowledge management can supply the dynamic necessary to stimulate successful reengineering and minimize the failure rate and its sources. Implementing KM strategy in reengineering projects will lead to better outcomes, building the support for long-term success into the design of business systems and processes

Software reengineering

Today's software systems generally use obsolete technology, are not integrated properly with other software systems, and are difficult and costly to maintain. The discipline of reverse engineering is becoming prominent as organizations try to move their systems up to more modern and maintainable technology in a cost effective manner. JSC created a significant set of tools to develop and maintain FORTRAN and C code during development of the Space Shuttle. This tool set forms the basis for an integrated environment to re-engineer existing code into modern software engineering structures which are then easier and less costly to maintain and which allow a fairly straightforward translation into other target languages. The environment will support these structures and practices even in areas where the language definition and compilers do not enforce good software engineering. The knowledge and data captured using the reverse engineering tools is passed to standard forward engineering tools to redesign or perform major upgrades to software systems in a much more cost effective manner than using older technologies. A beta vision of the environment was released in Mar. 1991. The commercial potential for such re-engineering tools is very great. CASE TRENDS magazine reported it to be the primary concern of over four hundred of the top MIS executives
