The idea of business process re-engineering was invented in 1990 by two Americans, James Champy and Michael Hammer, and it was pioneered in practice by a number of US firms. The redesign process seeks to determine how information flows through a business and how it is processed, to search out unnecessary or duplicated operations, and to improve decision-making and the responsiveness and accuracy of the steps involved.
