Dear Jar,
I just happened to browse thro and found your request. Well...well..there are some good insights, valid and relevant clarifications made by some in replying to you…!!!
Your Industry: printing & Packaging" rings a bell. I wonder whether you are in to Printing & Carton Making or Flexible Packaging..!!
I am a Business & Training consultant and right now in to a similar role in a flexible packaging company. I have over 10 years experience in the flexible packaging industry and if you too are in to the same...then I probably can help. Flexible Packaging is one of more complicated indutries when it comes this sort of assignments.
As someone quite correctly has mentioned, this sort of work may need specialist’s involvement. But it doesn’t necessarily need to be so. If you are an enthusiast to fathom things, improve and need to be in this role for your company with commitment then you would succeed. There is enough and more literature available today on the net and most of all what it needs is commitment and insights in to the business.
I probably can help you if you can send some more specific information along with the exact type of business you are in to.
Business Process Re-engineering is to change your current system/systems to work better reaching higher efficiency & productivity levels bringing impactful improvements to your bottom-line. Thus it needs to study the current systems; (the full business model that is currently in place) in & out so that you would know it to make your proposals for change based on factful reasoning and justifications.
The business owners would be extra careful and at times be reluctant to bring forth certain changes unless and until they are certain and sure beyond any reasonable doubt as good changes would bring good results the bad would make you worse off.
Let us see how things can be sorted and start moving..!!!

Dear Mr. Punya!
Thanks for that wonderful introduction! We are in the industry of CARTON PRINTING and PACKAGING.
What I only aim in this project is to see if there is a need to change the process flow, to see if there are un-needed process or manpower involved in one process, to check if there are duplications of work, and on how it can help cost cut in in some ways.
These are the initial things i am considering in this study. I'm looking forward that you can share some ideas, suggestions or tips in this subject.
Thank you.

Dear Jar,
Please let me know where you are based. Did you get my e-mail?
I have had a brief look at your files. In the Pre-Press planning process, in the Zund column "Mock up Sample" is the start of the process. I wonder why they make samples, without being asked!!
Similarly in the Sales Dept flow chart, I wonder why Delivery Commitment/Re Schedule in the Customer Services Dept is required, as there is no incoming loop.
You need to question the need for steps in the process using the 5W and 1H process. While working as an Industrial Engineer in FMCG industry and also in the electronic industry, I had use the 5W and 1H method in improving processes. Using the Five W's and One H Approach to Six Sigma gives a good explanation of that.
Also Kindly see The CPS : A guide to Process Mapping It contains a good guide for Process mapping.
Have a nice day.

Dear Mr. Simhan,
Just now i checked your mail and i'll just reply to it later. Our company is based in Saudi Arabia.
For the ZUND column,mock sample is the end product which will be sent to customer. INPUT there (ZUND) will be the "sample box or Quotation w/ outline drawing of the dimension of box" from the customer, it will be then analysed by the sample maker and draw an outline in the ZUND Machine and cut it also there to have an end product of a "MOCK SAMPLE BOX".
In the sales, I just put that process there (Delivery commitment) since ORDER TO PROCEED will be coming from the CUSTOMER SERVICE dept. so i just put that process under that column.
Anyway Sir, I will also reply from you mail for some more info.
Thank you very much!

Hi there,
Please find below how I have analyzed part of your process however,
Request For Quotation Sample:To Who you Raised the quotation t, what document is involved
Estimation Process: Who Estimates the Process and how long does it take to estimate it
Price & Sample Approval: Who Approves this document, how long does it takes
Quotation Sample: Who Samples the quotation
PO & RJB: what does these initials mean, & who does it and how long
Price Approval: who approves the price and how long does it take to obtain it
However, even though you have already put together a flow chart, please find below a softwere which will assist you in developing a better one
Create flowcharts, org charts, floor plans, business diagrams and more with SmartDraw. Download it FREE!
when writing the report you need to consider the following points:
Purpose of the Report
What is the report trying to achieve
Which are the processes mapped
Old flow chart and process and how long it took
New developed processes flow chart and time frame
How much of time has the new process saved for the business
What are the technologies used or introduced to improve these processes
What are the forms/ documents introduced to improve the process work flow
How much material cut was made
Any recommendation to better the process in the future, either by recruiting manpower/ introducing technologies (software/ hardware)
Hope the information provided is of use,
All the best in your project

hi dear Jar,
BPR is a kind of project where experts bring about the consistency and relevance in various business aspects and activities to reduce Time and Cost, to maintain the quality standards so as to serve the customer in a appropriate way and to achieve organizational objective.
the above elaboration is a very theoretical but is worth full to work on BPR with a specific concept in mind.

Dear Jar ,
GM ,
You are doing BPR first time , its Good , Really it is Excellent Concept , Even in Old days in 1900 the Company Like Ford in USA , has done lot of work , infact we are 100 Years behind to others ,
As you know , you have to define the Process flow of any activity , with new thoughts , with out focusing on the existing process , i have done some course from Japanese Institute ,
It can give improvement up to 20 to 30 % & may be more also .
