The New Paradigm of Business Process Management


Rapid, endless change is a cornerstone of business success, not

an exceptional event Processes of excellence are able to adapt to change Constant change is required for business survival
Ability to define, measure, analyze, improve and control

processes are the keys to business innovation and growth


Processes must allow different people with different skills - IT

developer, manager, business analyst, marketing personnel - to each view and manipulate the output in different ways

What is SCM? Where does it start from?

Where does it end?


What are the components and management elements that

form a part of the supply chain?


Finance, Marketing, Operations, Sales, HR, Projects, Admin., etc. ??

Ancient Times

The first supply chain was the barter system

1904
1960-1975

Traces of outsourcing was seen when Charles S. Rolls became selling agent for cars made by F. Henry Royce
The essence of SCM was understood with the first phase characterized as an inventory push era that focused primarily on physical distribution of finished goods Companies began migrating from an inventory push to a customer pull channel Emergence of SCM

1975-1990 1980

1985
1996

1998

WalMart introduced the concept of Cross Docking Internet revolutionized the distribution system of the business Concept of e-commerce changed the definition of business Sarthak Chandra 5

Customer could be an internal customer or an external customer

Next, we see the processes performed in a supply chain as a CYCLICAL view

Push View of SCM A push-based SCM takes longer to react to the changing market place In a push-based supply chain, production decisions are usually based on long-term forecasts In push-based strategies, SCM experience increased transportation costs, high inventory levels and high manufacturing costs Pull View of SCM In a pull-based supply chain, manufacturing is demand driven so that it is coordinated with actual external customer demand rather than a forecast Lead-time reduction occurs as the variabilities are better monitored in pull-based SCM Pull-based systems are often difficult to implement when lead times are so long that it is impractical to react to demand information

What is Re-engineering?
Definition The fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of business processes to bring about dramatic improvements in performance.

Radical change, fast A fundamental rethinking and transformation of an integrated set of business processes Aims for dramatic business results Unlike quick hits and incremental improvement, reengineering is a form of organizational change Characterized by dramatic process transformation Is forgetting how work was done at the times of mass markets and how it can be done best now.

Reengineering isnt
Reengineering isnt an idea imported from China Reengineering isnt a program to hike employee or workers moral or motivate the sales force It wont push an old computer system to work faster Reengineering isnt about Fixing anything Business Reengineering means starting all over again from the scratch.
22-Sep-13 Sarthak Chandra 10

Process Reengineering for Change


Relies on reevaluating the purpose of the process and questioning both the purpose and the underlying assumptions

Requires reexamination of the basic process and its objectives Out of the box thinking for the creation of solutions to old and new problems
22-Sep-13 Sarthak Chandra 11

The term process in the context of reengineering


A process is a series of related activities that: takes an input adds value to it produces an output for a customer to generate value for him

BPR Methodology
Select process to be reengineered

Establish process team

Understand current process

A Methodology for Business Process Reengineering (Fitzgerald and Murphy 1996)

Dev elop a v ision of improv ed process

Identif y actions needed to mov e to new process

Negotiate/execute plan to accomplish actions

22-Sep-13

Sarthak Chandra

18

Why BPR projects are failing?

Lack of senior management sponsorship

Failure to make an ongoing commitment to the tough management decisions needed to effect these changes to the work environment

Lack of motivation Lack of Knowledge & capitalizing on ignorance

22-Sep-13

Sarthak Chandra

19

Methodologies: Issues

SELECTION; Many companies are developing their own BPR methodologies TIME; The need to test the project empirically so that it can be validated and modified as appropriate. In the case of BPR, this poses a problem since a typical reengineering project can last 1-2 years BPR efforts cannot be uniformly applied across different cultures but need to be tailored to the specific contingencies of the situation
22-Sep-13 Sarthak Chandra 20

Methodology:

A consolidated methodology has been developed from the five methodologies and a model was developed to provide a structured approach and to facilitate understanding (Muthu, Whitman and Cheraghi 1999).
22-Sep-13 Sarthak Chandra 21

Future Trends
Area of supply chain management and logistics. Although currently fading, however BPR may increase in importance again, in some form or known by some other name; the BPR phenomenon would be of enduring importance. SCM to take a lot of significance for organizations Operational efficiency the key differentiator between ace performing companies and mediocre companies

Operational Innovation
Operational Improvement, Operational Excellence & Operational Innovation Some of the Greatest Success stories Operational Innovation Wal-Mart, Toyota, Dell etc. Dell Business Model Toyota Production System Wall-mart $ 44 Million 1972 $ 44 Billion - 1992

2 reasons to tell these stories 1 Its worth telling, as it has generated extraordinary results 2 Not many stories, not more than 10% of the large organizations
22-Sep-13 Sarthak Chandra 23

A Powerful Weapon
Strategic benefits
Higher Customer retention Greater market Share Ability to execute strategies Ability to enter new Markets

Marketplace benefits
Lower Prices Greater Customer Satisfaction Differentiated Offerings Stronger customer relationships Greater agility

Operational benefits
Lower Direct cost Better use of assets Faster Cycle time Increased accuracy Greater customization & precision More added value Simplified processes
22-Sep-13 Sarthak Chandra 24

Why Operational Innovation


Most companies are struggling with:

Low growth Stagnation Over Capacity production & competition No pricing power

The Solution

Take market share from competition Lower costs Extraordinary Quality & Service Operation Excellence and Operational Improvements are obsolete terms
Sarthak Chandra 25

22-Sep-13

Challenges for operational Innovation


Business culture Undervalues operations Out of Sight & Out of mind Nobody owns it

22-Sep-13

Sarthak Chandra

26

Making it work
Need to start at the grassroots level Find a leader Look for role models Identify & defy a constraining assumption Make the special case into the norm Rethink critical dimensions of work Implement in phases/step change Can you answer is it sustainable?
22-Sep-13 Sarthak Chandra 27

What is the right supply chain for your product ?


Devising a SCM strategy

Before devising a supply chain

Analyze the nature of demand for the product

Primarily 2 types of products


Functional Products Primarily Innovative products

22-Sep-13

Sarthak Chandra

28

Types of Products
Functional Products

Staples e.g. Grocery, petrol, gas etc. Satisfy Basic needs Dont change much over time Have stable, predictable demand & long life cycles
Any functional product where some innovation is done E.g. Fashion apparel, computers, mobile phones

BPR & ERP


Just automating the existing business practices will not help ERP to achieve the anticipated results Business Process Re-engineering [BPR] brings out the deficiencies of the existing setup BPR and ERP will give way to implement new systems and the long pending improvements in the existing systems BPR may be time consuming but the scope can be restricted & controlled by the Management
