REQUIRED

Requirement 1: ''As Is'' Process Map

Using standard process mapping symbols and referring to the example process map presented in Appendix A, draw a process map for Elizor's raw materials purchasing process. Your instructor may require that you use a flowcharting package, such as Microsoft Visio, or may allow you to Using Process Mapping to Reveal Process Redesign Opportunities during ERP Planning 171 Journal of Emerging Technologies in Accounting Volume 12, 2015 draw the map by hand. Include phase symbol(s) to separate distinct phases in this process and label. For simplicity, the supplier swim lane may be omitted.

Requirement 2: Business Process Reengineering (BPR) and Business Process Improvement (BPI)

Using the BPR and BPI information in Appendix B (in particular Tables 1 and 2) and the template below, list eight BPI process issues or BPR principles that need to be applied to the raw materials purchasing process. For each of these issues, describe a redesign that could be made to the raw materials purchasing process to improve efficiency, effectiveness, and/or internal control (two illustrative examples have been provided in the template to help you begin). Turn in the below template as the deliverable for this requirement.

Example:

BPR Principle or BPI Process Issue: BPI process issue: Paper records; non-value-added steps

Elizor's Process-Specific Issue: The receiving report does not need to be sent to the manufacturing supervisor. He/she should be able to see inventory availability in a system without a paper report.

BPR Principle or BPI Process Issue: BPI process issue: Manual steps; BPR principle: capture data once at its source

Elizor's Process-Specific Issue: The cost center data should be entered once in the creation of the purchase requisition and automatically carried through to accounts payable without data rekeying.
