Initial Conditions to Implement a Process Redesign Methodology for Manufacturing Enterprises

Abstract

Process redesign methodologies have several conditions that enterprises must reach to obtain a more efficient implementation process. Up to now, there is not a clear definition of these re-quirements. This paper presents the conditions for manufacturing enterprises, based on a re-view of the maturity models that apply to these kinds of companies. These conditions include five organization aspects: strategy, process, people, control and information systems. After the review of the maturity models’ practices for the aspect “process”, ergonomics and maintenance were considered to complement this category.
