[All L6M9 Questions]

Carla is an Operations Manager at a bank. Customers are requesting more digitalisation of services, and Carla is considering a radical approach that streamlines decision-making and creates efficiency in the organisation's structural resources. What is this approach best known as?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The keyword here is 'radical', which is a key feature of business process reengineering (BPR).

Total quality management (A) is incorrect because TQM focuses on gradual quality improvements.

Lean (C) is incorrect because it focuses on waste reduction, which is not mentioned.

Six Sigma (D) is incorrect because it focuses on process improvement through data and system development, but it is not considered radical.

(LO 2.1, See p.68)

I'm going with B. Carla's gotta be brave to take on a BPR project, but it'll pay off in the long run if she pulls it off.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Lean and Six Sigma also focus on efficiency, but they're more incremental approaches. BPR sounds like the right fit for Carla's needs.

I agree, B is the way to go. Carla's trying to overhaul the organization, not just tweak a few processes. BPR is the radical solution she's looking for.
