Advanced Process Management - 2007 “This paper examines the benefits of applying a systematic approach to operational effectiveness and creating changes in the management of tasks and activities through process re-engineering. Differences in operational effectiveness among organisations are extensive. Some organisations are able to get more out of their inputs than others because they eliminate wasted effort, employ more advanced and functional management information systems, motivate employees better, or have greater insight into managing and enhancing particular sets of processes. Such differences in operational effectiveness are an important source of differences in determining value enhancement, profitability and enterprise efficiency among organisations because they directly affect relative cost positions, and outcome efficacy”. |
