PROCESS RE-ENGINEERING
Philosophy of change, downsizing
Seven steps for re-engineering
Integrate and centralize processes
Decentralize decisions
![Page 9: PROCESS IMPROVEMENT Program Development University of Massachusetts at Boston ©2007 William Holmes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071709/56649f4d5503460f94c6e099/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
PROCESS RE-ENGINEERING:SEVEN STEPS
Organize around outcomes, not tasks
Prioritize processes
Integrate information into processes
Treat dispersed resources as centralized
Link parallel activities
Put decision points where work performed
Capture information once at source

Assumes dispersed parts will function together
“Carry the wounded, but shoot the stragglers!”
