Process Reengineering

Process Design using the SR model

The framework provides support for raising issues, addressing them, identifying correlated issues, identifying assumptions and justifying them, and settling issues and accepting assumtions.(p6)

In design, one can systematically explore alternatives, by seeking means to ends. Analytical support can be used to guide and evaluate alternatives as they are proposed.(p41)

Process design is concerned with thinking up new ways of doing things (reorganizing the process).(p47)

The framework supports design in terms of five categories of activities: 1. raising issues, 2. addressing issues, 3. identifying related issues to raise, 4. settling issues and accepting assumptions, and 5, identifying assumptions to questions and justifying them.(p47)
