Presented here is an integrated multidisciplinary approach to enterprise engineering and improvement, going beyond the concepts of reengineering, redesign, and prototyping.
My intent is to aid all enterprises in continuously improving their human and business quality. Through this implementation, I offer to help an enterprise inform/appraise/notify/acquaint itself with itself and its environment.
Described within is a relatively quick, yet comprehensive method for implementing enterprise-wide improvement for a networked enterprise, at a low cost per member. This technique gives the enterprise a toolkit that provides significant strategic, tactical and operational capabilities. It provides a corresponding increase in synectics and synergistic productivity. The technique makes extensive use of network directory and network database technology, and is an ideal design for World Wide Web and Internet directory-enabled applications using digital certificates.
The ideas contained here took form over the period from 1965 and were first documented in 1982 as a project for Mr. Roy Roebuck’s Master's degree and was refined and updated during his subsequent work in government and the private sector. This information is copyrighted by Mr. Roebuck, self-published, and is in its tenth revision from 1982 (1984, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998). The advent of public awareness of the Internet, and the development of specific Internet technologies since 1996, have led to a strengthening of the concepts and orders of magnitude reduction in the complexity and cost of concept implementation.
This document presents, in an abbreviated form, a general-purpose concept from which to build or further develop competitive networked enterprises. The enterprise reaches these competitive gains through more effective utilization of information.
Today's enterprises are generally operating at far less than their potential. I propose that this is primarily because the enterprise does not manage the information flowing and forming within and around it. As a result, the enterprise performs and focuses-on non-value added elements, rather than on meeting and exceeding its customer or constituency requirements.
The diagrams that follow present the concept for a dynamic enterprise management (DEM) environment as a mechanism for corporate-wide management and improvement.
This concept provides a framework for integrating business, technological, and cultural change towards this competitive gain. Implementation of this concept provides a mechanism for continuously improving all types and sizes of computer-networked organizations, and serves as a detailed baseline from which to implement business engineering and improvement (e.g., reengineering or BPR) on any scale.
