               17   Which of the following defines Business Process Re-engineering?

                     A`    Contracting out aspects of the work of the organisation, previously done in
                           house, to specialist providers.

                     B     An organisation, with processing centres in all or several of the countries
                           in which it operates, chooses to consolidate these activities at one site.

                     C     The fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of how things are done in
                           an organisation

                     D     High volume, low complexity tasks will be processed in a country with a
                           significantly lower cost base.


               18   Match each stage of Business Process Reengineering with its description.

                     Stage                  Description


                                            Those processes which are not adding value, or which
                     Process                are not essential to supporting a value adding process
                     identification
                                            are discarded.

                                            The remaining processes are amended so that they work
                     Process                in the most efficient way possible. At this stage detailed
                     rationalisation        operating procedures need to be produced for all
                                            processes that are to be performed manually.

                                            The reengineered processes are implemented, resulting
                     Process redesign       in tasks, departments and an organisation that work in
                                            the most efficient manner.


                                            Each task performed within the organisation or
                     Process                department being reengineered is broken down into a
                     reassembly             series of processes. Each process is recorded and
                                            analysed.


               19  Which THREE of the following would be included in the set up costs of a
                     new IT system?

                     A     Design and development of bespoke software

                     B     Provision of a support function


                     C     Testing of the new system

                     D     Labour time involved in running the system

                     E     Training users in key features of the system


                                                                                                      203
