Business Process Reengineering BreakPoint Strategies for Market Dominance Henry J. Johansson Patrick McHugh A. John Pendlebury William A. Wheeler III Dominance in the global marketplace is not the stuff of dreams. In todays increasingly integrated international market it is an essential goal for corporate survival and success. At the end of an era of marketplace analysis, where strategic planners recommendations have driven budgets and R&D, and produced lifecycles, a host of process improvements have been undertaken; the 1980s saw Total Quality Management (TQM) and Just-In-Time (JIT) production almost universally adopted as the central tenets of process-oriented manufacturing philosophies. They are not enough. No matter how great an impact TQM and JIT production have made, they remain "inside the walls" and can only be the starting point for truly global business practice. To become dominant in todays marketplace, companies must reinvent their operations; but how? In Business Process Reengineering: BreakPoint Strategies for Market Dominance, four internationally recognized experts from Coopers & Lybrands manufacturing consultancy explain how to go beyond the old way of thinkingbeyond functional silos, cost cutting, even the simple notion of "teamwork"to create a new core business process oriented company. A core business process is one that cuts across boundaries, functions and departments. By focusing on the effectiveness of core business processes, and "pulling" supporting processes and resources to those core business processes, companies can streamline operations and inevitably cut costs without making arbitrary head-count decisions. By "reading the market" to see which core business processes can produce results beyond what the market knows is possible, a company can find a BreakPoint, an opportunity that will cause a disproportionate reaction in the marketplace and pull the company into a leadership position.
