Q2) What is the goal of business process reengineering (BPR)? Explain why simply applying IT to manual or outdated processes -- instead of reengineering those processes -- will not optimize them.
Answer: Methods and efforts to eliminate wasted steps within a process are referred to a business process reengineering (BPR).The goal of BPR is to eliminate the unnecessary non-value-added processes,then to simplify and automate the remaining processes to significantly reduce cycle time,labor,and costs.After unnecessary processes are identified and eliminated,the remaining ones are redesigned (or reengineered)in order to automate or streamline them.Simplifying processes naturally reduces the time needed to complete the process,which also cuts down on errors. Applying IT to a manual or outdated process will not optimize it because improving processes starts with determining whether or not they are still necessary.
