BPR Implementation: A Decision-Making Strategy

To support the efficient appraisal and selection of available best practices, this paper proposes a strategy for the implementation of Business Process Redesign (BPR). Its backbone is formed by the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) multi-criteria method and our earlier research on the popularity and impact of redesign best practices. Using (AHP) we derive a classification of most suitable best practices for the process being redesigned. Criteria such as the popularity, the impact, the goals and the risks of BPR implementation are taken into account. A case study of a municipality in the Netherlands is included. It discusses which best practices should be applied to redesign the invoicing process at the municipality. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006

Development of a decision-making strategy to improve the efficiency of BPR

To support the efficient appraisal of and selection from a list of generic business process improvement principles, this paper proposes a strategy for the implementation of business process redesign (BPR). Its backbone is formed by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) multicriteria method and our earlier research into the popularity and impact of a set of redesign "best practices". Using AHP, we derive a classification of most suitable directions for a particular process to be redesigned. Criteria such as the popularity, the impact, the goals and the risks of BPR implementation are taken into account. A case study is included to demonstrate the method’s feasibility and effectivenes

Isoarchic and Multi-criteria Control of Supply Chain Network

International audienceSupply chains and more particularly supply chains networks are more and more subjected to extreme dynamic operations, where it is asked to each actor more flexibility and reactivity on the one hand and a specialization bringing more productivity on the other hand. Companies try to achieve the common goal of satisfying customers’ needs through partnership. Negotiation between partners is thus required involving each partner management and production organization. This situation makes difficult to obtain the best response with respect to the need of each customer. For that, a new approach is proposed for customer-supplier relationship control, in which the partnership is considered in the context of an association of potential suppliers within a network: an isoarchic control model for supply chains network based on a holonic architecture. The decision-making mechanism is produced thanks to the properties of a decision-making centre, called Autonomous Control Entity (ACE), associated to each actor of the logistic network, which makes it possible to quantify a multi-criteria evaluation. An implementation of the simulation of such a system is done via a distributed simulation environment HLA (High Level Architecture). A case study is presented
