There is a lack of broad participation in most idea generating programs in American organizations. In this paper, we consider ways to increase the participation rate in generating ideas across organizations. These approaches include measuring innovation rates and reporting them, encouraging continuous improvement in idea generation, raising participation in programs such as Business Process Reengineering and Quality Circles, and training in creativity that includes team efforts at ideation. We also consider the importance of encouragement in helping employees to take the risks necessary to generate ideas.

Процессный подход рассматривает медицинскую деятельность как заданную цепочку действий (или процессов). Итогом такой деятельности должно стать достижение определенного клинико-экономического результата. Принятие процессного подхода подразумевает внедрение новых подходов в системе менеджмента, когда в основу заложен процесс предоставления услуги потребителю. Чтобы оптимизировать налаженные бизнес-процессы в медучреждении, необходимо решить сразу несколько задач: спроектировать модель будущего процесса, алгоритмизировать действия всех участников процесса, разработать требования и стандарты для нового процесса, внедрить инновации по двум основным направлениям: социальному и медико-технологическому. Реализация всех перечисленных выше действий позволит впоследствии произвести грамотный реинжиниринг и адаптировать текущие процессы к новым условиям. После этого можно переходить к внедрению в обновленную структуру информационных систем. Реинжиниринг, как метод управления инновациями, относится к инновационному процессу, направленному как на создание новых продуктов и новых операций, так и на их применение, продвижение и распределение. Учитывая, что конечной целью реинжиниринга является инновации, то реинжиниринг в лучшем понимании - это реинжиниринг инноваций. Реинжиниринг представляет собой инженерно-консультационные услуги по реструктуризации предпринимательской деятельности на основе производства и реализации инноваций. По определению основоположников реинжиниринга М. Хаммера и Д. Чампи реинжиниринг бизнес-процессов (BPR - Business Process Reengineering) - это "фундаментальное переосмысление и радикальное перепроектирование бизнес-процессов для достижения конкретных улучшений в основных показателях деятельности предприятия". Целью BPR является системная реорганизация материальных, финансовых и информационных потоков, направленная на упрощение организационной структуры, перераспределение и минимизацию использования различных ресурсов, сокращение сроков реализации потребностей клиентов, повышение качества их обслуживания. Таким образом, речь идет о формировании совершенно новых деловых целей с использованием последних достижений информационных технологий The process approach considers medical activity as a set chain of actions (or processes). The result of such activities should be the achievement of a certain clinical and economic result. The adoption of a process approach implies the introduction of new approaches in the management system, when the process of providing services to the consumer is based on. To optimize the established business processes in a medical institution, it is necessary to solve several tasks at once: design a model for the future process, algorithmize the actions of all participants in the process, develop requirements and standards for the new process, and introduce innovations in two main areas: social and medical-technological. The implementation of all the above actions will allow you to subsequently perform competent reengineering and adapt current processes to new conditions. After that, you can proceed to implementation in the updated structure of information systems. Reengineering, as a method of innovation management, refers to the innovation process aimed at creating new products and new operations, as well as their application, promotion and distribution. Given that the ultimate goal of reengineering is innovation, reengineering in the best sense is the reengineering of innovation. Reengineering is an engineering and consulting service for the restructuring of business activities based on the production and implementation of innovations. According to the definition of the founders of reengineering M. hammer and D. Champi business process reengineering (BPR - Business Process Reengineering) is "a fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of business processes to achieve concrete improvements in the company's core performance indicators." The goal of BPR is a systematic reorganization of material, financial and information flows aimed at simplifying the organizational structure, reallocating and minimizing the use of various resources, reducing the time required to meet customer needs, and improving the quality of their service. Thus, we are talking about creating completely new business goals using the latest advances in information technology

Several authors and researchers have questioned the effectiveness of business process reengineering (BPR) as a holistic organizational approach especially after the demise of giant organizations all over the world. However, at a time of economic turbulence and uncertainty, BPR becomes instrumental in helping organizations reengineer existing processes and optimize them to better stay competitive and accelerate business. This paper addresses this criticism and proposes a framework that encompasses key factors that must be considered in any BPR initiative in order to ensure its success. As well as providing executives with a practical guide to consult when starting, planning, implementing and controlling the different activities needed to complete a reengineering project. The paper also identifies and elaborates on the key success BPR factors: 1) Organization wide commitment, 2) BPR team composition, 3) Business needs analysis, 4) Adequate IT infrastructure, 5) Effective change management, and 6) Ongoing continuous improvement. These key factors are presented in light of supporting literature.

ERP implementation is a way to improve competitive advantage, and ERP is one of the factors that affect the company's performance. However, many studies reveal that many companies trying to implement ERP failed although in the end many were successful. To achieve its success, several key factors to be considered include top management support, effective project management, business process reengineering, hardware and software selection, education and training, and vendor support. This study aims to explore the key of successful implementation of ERP in state-owned enterprises in Bandung, Indonesia. Related to state owned enterprises that have failed and succeeded in the implementation of ERP, the effective management project analysis has a significant influence on the success of system implementation while top management support, business process reengineering, hardware and software selection, education and training and vendor support have no effect on the success of ERP implementation. However all variables studied simultaneously have effects on the success of ERP implementation.

AbstrakSekretariat Fakultas Sains dan Teknologi Universitas Ma Chung merupakan fakultas dimana Penulis melakukan penelitian. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis proses bisnis yang ada di Sekretariat Fakultas Sains dan Teknologi Universitas Ma Chung berdasarkan dari hasil wawancara dengan beberapa stakeholder yang memiliki kebutuhan ataupun keluhan terhadap setiap proses bisnis yang berjalan, mengidentifikasi permasalahan dari proses bisnis yang kurang efisien dan membuat usulan perbaikan untuk setiap proses bisnis dengan menggunakan pendekatan ilmu Business Process Reengineering (BPR). Penulis juga menggunakan metode analisis nilai tambah pada penelitian ini. Tujuan dari penggunaan metode analisis nilai tambah adalah untuk mengkategorikan langkah maupun elemen kerja ke dalam tiga kategori, yakni value adding, business value adding dan non value adding. Pengaktegorisasian tersebut bertujuan untuk menghilangkan langkah maupun elemen kerja yang termasuk kedalam non value adding dan meminimalkan langkah maupun elemen kerja yang termasuk kedalam business value adding. Penulis mengidentikasi permasalahan setiap proses bisnis dengan menggunakan diagram sebab akibat.
