Remodelling a company via systems re‐engineering

Abstract

Examines how a conceptually ideal manufacturing business structure may be achieved by analysing information flows, processes and activities at a macro level within the company. Outlines the methodology used to identify the existing company position, strategic alternatives, organizational model and information flows. Describes the modifications necessary to the system in order to achieve the re‐engineering objectives required by the business. Indicates how strategic decisions relating to organizational design may be implemented via systems re‐engineering.
