Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is considered to be the fastest methodology to be used in order to improve business process in a current fast-changing environment. BPR attempts to achieve dramatic improvements in critical measures of performance by using the power of modern information technology (IT) fundamentally to rethink and radically to redesign the business process. However, many construction industries proposed BPR to evaluate the business process, not to redesign the business process. This study focuses on the idea of “Business Process Reengineering (BPR)” in applying benchmarking philosophy to redesign the business process.
The construction industry has been slow to adopt competitive benchmarking as a tool for continuous improvement. Identifying, and adapting the best-practice process are the important factors of benchmarking. In order to determine the most suitable process from best practice companies’ to be adapted in the benchmarking company, an accurate analysis of the gaps between best-practice processes and benchmarking company’s process is essential for the redesign of business processes.
This research integrates BPR philosophy, semantic similarities concept and trend model concept to develop a benchmarking-oriented process reengineering (BOPR) that enables a project team to determine the most suitable process from the best practice company. A four-phased process analysis including business process modeling, process similarities analysis, process communication index analysis and process adaptability calculation was developed. An approach of applying the concepts of semantic similarities analysis to find the semantic-related objects between best-practice processes and benchmarking process was also proposed. In addition, trend model concept was applied to evaluate the degree of communication ease of best-practice processes when it is adapted in a benchmarking company.
Summarily, by referring the proposed BOPR method, project team will have better understanding in determining the most suitable process from best-practice companies to be adapted in benchmarking company.
