About Extend+BPR (Business Process Reengineering)

Apply systems analysis techniques to TQM and process improvement efforts with Extend+BPR.  This bundled package combines Extend with two specialized libraries of blocks (BPR and Statistics), an additional manual, and numerous examples. 

Extend+BPR allows you to model organizational change, analyze new processes for technology insertion, and provide metrics for strategic planning.  It is an excellent tool to perform cross-functional analysis of business processes, measure performance, manage just-in-time scheduling, improve marketing positioning, and contain costs.

• The BPR library contains blocks that resemble familiar flow charting symbols and represent  personnel, measurement, operations, decisions, repositories, transactions, etc.  

• The Extend+BPR manual provides an extensive number of examples, concepts, and alternative approaches. It reviews each block's function and applies it to real world usage.

• The +BPR disk comes with numerous example models which parallel the discussion in the manual.

• This package also contains a free Statistics library!  Statistics blocks accumulate and report statistical information for particular types of blocks in discrete event  models: activities, queues, or resources.   In addition to the block label, block name, and the time the information was observed, each of the blocks report statistics that are specific to their type of block, such as utilization or average wait time.
  
NOTE:  Please see Chapter 7, "BPR Book", for more on reengineering business processes with Extend.
