    Hi

    I am working through BPP course notes, and have just finished CH1- Analysing and managing costs.

    just a quick q under the topic of process re-engineering. Is the below an example of a business process?

    1. material handling – yes

    Sorry if this is a silly question- but why is material handling an example of a business process. The answer says because it is an internal process and will add value. But I am still unclear as to why it is a business process? Is it just because it is something business do?

    Thanks
    Abi

    Hi,
    Thank you for your question.

    The idea is that BPR Business Process Reengineering will involve the redesign of all core business activities in order to achieve improvements in the productivity and efficiency of the business.

    It looks to analyse and redesign the workflows that occur and material handling will be one of these workflows that form part of the end-to-end production process. If time is wasted passing materials from inventory then finding a new way of doing this could be part of the process redesign.

    That provides a bit more description that your point – but yes – a business process is basically something the business does in order to achieve its organisation goals.
