Mayberry, Matt with Kent Hoxsey, Kerry McCracken and Carl Rendell, "Using Systems Thinking and Dynamics Simulations to Reengineer Manufacturing Processes at Silicon Graphics", 1996

ua435

Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is a methodology for fundamentally changing key business processes to improve performance. The type of systemic change implied by the notion in "radical rethinking of business processes" lends itself well to a systems dynamics (SD) approach, In this paper, we describe how various SD tools have helped our reengineering team implement fundamental changes to our material planning and control processes at Silicon Graphics (SGI). These methods have helped our organization gain a deeper understanding of our supply chain dynamics, develop alternative structures and ultimately change the way material flow is managed.
