The industry paradigm shift through process reengineering

Abstract

Human evolution history has always been impacted by paradigm shifts (ruptures of models, beliefs or customs), in the search for improvements and comforts for the human being. These processes of paradigm shift also happen with industries that could initially emerge as small family businesses or companies without major aspirations, but which over time have had to adapt in order to survive globalization and other technological innovations, being process reengineering an alternative capable of reviewing the procedures carried out in industries, reviewing them from scratch and thereby breaking paradigms for their application. However, it is important to know when, how and why to implement it in order to achieve its success, this being the purpose of this research, using a methodology based on the bibliographic design of a documentary type. Obtaining at the end, some conclusions in this regard that shed light on how paradigm shifts occur in industry when making use of process reengineering.
