Abstract
Business Process Reengineering (BPR) has been introduced as an effective solution for improving radically the performance of organizations. It is recommended that a methodology in the BPR effort should be considered because of its risky and complicated nature. Although, various methodologies are presented, a comprehensive methodology has not been introduced. This research investigates several academic papers and focuses on addressing all necessary aspects for developing a unified BPR methodology and for each aspect, determines needful tasks. These tasks are defined respect to the elements in the unified structure. These elements include BPR plan, supportive environment, improvement approaches, process management, change management, and information and communication technology (ICT) which are extracted by considering presented methodologies. The results propose a unified perspective and structure for BPR methodologies and hence increases the comprehensiveness and reliableness.
