Business Process Reengineering (BPR) primarily employs information technology to automate certain functions within an organization (such as manufacturing, finance, or production), whereas Business Engineering (BE) leverages information technology to design or redesign processes (a series of interconnected steps or "chains" within a company). Like all engineering efforts, a good blueprint can outline the best strategy for implementing a new design. This book primarily focuses on the specific blueprint designed by the international software provider SAP, which has successfully integrated information technology with business engineering. SAP Business Blueprint: Understanding Supply Chain Management can serve as a navigation guide for this system.
