The most basic and common feature of reengineered processes is the absence of an assembly line; that is, many formerely distinct jobs or tasks are integrated and composed into one. The payoffs of integrated processes, case workers, and case teams can be enormous. Eliminating handoffs means doing away with the errors, delays, and rework that they engender. Typically, a case worker-based process operates ten times faster than the assembly line version that it replaces. Moreover, because the new process generates fewer errors and misunderstandings, the company doesn’t need additional people to find and fix them.
Integrated processes also have reduced process administration overheads. Because employees involved in the process assume responsibility for making sure that customer’s requirements are met on time and with no defects, they need less supervision. Instead, the company encourages these empowered employees to find innovative and creative ways to reduce cycle time and cost continually while producing a defect-free product or service. Improved control is another benefit of integrated processes; because they involve fewer people, assigning responsibility for them and monitoring performance is easier.

Because the rate of change has increased for everyone, any organization can’t afford a slow change process. For rapid change and dramatic improvement Process Reengineering is downright apt. Process Reengineering assumes the current processes as irrelevant, enables to disassociate the organization from today’s redundant processes, and focuses on new ones. It is like projecting yourself into the future. Streamlining and improving business processes should be an essential part of management’s strategy for improving organizational performance. It eventually leads to predictable, high-velocity information flows, efficient processes and powerful procedures. This triggers off breakthrough performance in the form of dramatically reduced cycle times. I can reengineer (redesign) any administrative, bureaucratic or centralized function thereby process improvement as an inexorable necessity. My Consultancy–Asif J. Mir – Management Consultant–transforms organizations, makes them relevant, and suggests solutions for succes. For details please contact Asif J. Mir
