At the time of enterprise reforming, existing organization and business rule are taken a second look drastically, the concept that duty and business flow, management mechanism and the information system redesigning are done with point of view of process. Even "business Process engineering" you say.

As for this thought, the Michael hammer of former Massachusets Institute of Technology professor - (Michael Hammer) the dissertation which the person announces to the Harvard Business Review magazine makes beginning in 1990. of same person and the management consultant who are published in 1993 (James A. Champy) collaboration "Reengineering of the person the Corporation: A Manifesto for Business Revolution "became the worldwide best-sellerdom, reached the point where it is known widely.

The starting point of BPR is specialized the traditional enterprise organizational - - namely high-level, there is the reflection for the division of work type organization where process is divided. The aforementioned book denied the conventional business structure such classified by function extensively, recommended that the new organizational structural sense of value appraisal system of process inclination is created from zero, called the thing of consecutive procedure in order to cause drastic change "business". The process referred to here is defined, "the consecutive activity which produces the value for the final customer" can call BPR customer inclination essentially. In the same book the hammer - and others "it seems like cost, quality, service and speed, being serious, the fact that in order to improve modern performance standard dramatically, you reconsider business process do again to design that fundamentally, drastically" it is defined.

As for enterprise after BPR because flat it becomes organization, knowledge concern and inclination, as for IT important role is carried out in the aspect of information joint ownership and decision making and visualization etc. of process. Those in order to automate division of work type process in the enterprise which propels BPR at this point in time, it means that the information system of the design which differs decisively is required.

The beginning when method of thinking BPR appears, emphasis was placed in the destruction of conventional business style, but when the nineties end it becomes comparatively, non continual large reformation causes mayhem conversely, that it reaches the point where it is criticized e.g., the process collar of ideal the cost which exceeds the profit which drops is required. In 1997 the MIT system dynamics group it reports "70% of activity that it failed" and so on.

But, interest is directed to the point furthermore how it constructs the optimum business process - - and the organizational structure which it can correspond to that process softly, direction regarding the enterprise which can be converted in process inclination. BPM has appeared from around 2002 as the tool which supports "continuous BPR".

Furthermore the new concept the hammer -, of "process enterprise" as the evolution shape of BPR is set forth.
