Failure modes and effects analysis based risk management methodology for business process re-engineering project

Business process re-engineering, as the key to electronic business, mostly are failure for the risks in terms of organization, people, and mechanism, methods. It is extremely necessary to construct a risk management paradigm for BPR. FMEA is a useful and practical approach for risk analysis of business process re-engineering. A BPR risk architecture based on FMEA is provided as an integrated risk management process, and would further improve the understanding of re-engineering. To fulfill the BPR risk management methodology, it is also important to realize the continuous improvement to apply it correctly to BPR in terms of ISO/DIS9000 and CMM, therefore risk manager must pay more attention to standardize the method and plan to future.
