IE880I Text • The Great Transition : Using the Seven Disciplines of Enterprise Engineering to Align People, Technology, and Strategy • by James Martin • Hardcover - 503 pages (September 1995) • AMACOM; ISBN: 0814403158 • Also, significant outside articles will be assigned.
IE880I - Topics • Overview of Enterprise Engineering (3 weeks) • Basic overview of what is enterprise engineering and its benefits. Students will learn the advantages of EntEng and associated terminology and philosophy. • IE880I - Exam 1 - February 5, 1999. • Test will be closed book/notes - fill in the blank/essay format. • One hour long, then we begin the next topic. • We will have class Feb 26, 1999 • Dr. Mahlzahn will be guest speaker on Activity Based Costing
What is an Enterprise? An Enterprise is a complex systemof cultural, process, and technology components ... Enterprise Enterprise ... a system engineered to accomplish organizational goals.
What do Engineers do? Design things! Same as other engineers, Enterprise Engineers design things. Only their thing is the enterprise

Today • Martin Chapter 3-5 • IE and IT Article by Davenport and Short • EntEng: A Discipline? Article by Liles, et al. • Verndat Chapter 1
Wrong use of Automation (Chap 3) Design How can we automate what already exists? Replace to make fundamentally better
Wrong use of Automation (Chap 3) System must fit the users and not the reverse? Not always, frequently the users must change their ways in order to maximize profits from automation
Redesign, then automate! • Little change, little payoff • Big change, big payoff • A small change with some payoff may mean it is much more difficult to make the right change later.
Russell Ackoff • “If each part of a system, considered separately, is made to operate as efficiently as possible, the system as a whole will not operate as effectively as possible.
Martin • “It is appalling how many authorities on “business process reengineering” advocate modeling and modifying an existing business process when the right thing to do is scrap the process and take an integrated approach to building cyber-crop value streams (discussed later) • Raise questions about … overall architecture, culture, and IT
Electronic Organism (chap 4) • As systems become more complex, the design of these systems must be automated. • Automation of Automation • Reaction times shrink, complexity increases, decisions become less intuitive.
Key concept • JOINT creativity of business and computer people
Architecture - Martin • “The architecture of an enterprise is the basic overall organization within which work takes place. • Note how this compares with later definitions
EntEng Definition (Martin) (Chap 5) • … an integrated set of disciplines for building or changing an enterprise, its processes, and systems. It integrates the most powerful change methods and makes them succeed. The goal is a human-technological partnership of maximum efficiency in which learning takes place at every level. (Martin)
Goal of the Enterprise Engineer • “Identify and integrate the most valuable and successful ways to change an enterprise, and to take them into a professional discipline with a teachable methodology and measures of effectiveness.”
What do Enterprise Engineers do? • Identify and Integrate best and most successful ways to change an enterprise
What do Enterprise Engineers do? • Two aspects • Understand new mechanisms • New ways of organizing work • New Corporate Architectures must be understood • Understand methods that can change an enterprise
Two questions Enterprise Engineers always ask • What should the enterprise be? • How do we get there from here?
TQM, Kaizen • Continuous change applied across an enterprise • Kaizen - Japanese term for continuous improvement • Everybody improves everything all the time If it aint broke don’t fix it!
Procedure Redesign • Discontinuous reinvention of existing processes • Quick hit • Low lying fruit
Value Stream Reinvention • Discontinuous reinvention of “end to end” streams • Breakthrough improvement for the CUSTOMER
Enterprise Redesign • Discontinuous redesign • Holistic change to a new world architecture, sometimes accomplished by building new business units of subsidiaries.
All for changing processes • Simplifying work • Improving results
Simplification of Work (note order) • Eliminate (bureaucracy and non-value added) • Simplify (work flow, etc.) • Work Smarter • Reduce Middlemen (eliminate) • Refine IIS • Automate • Automate Automation
Strategic Visioning • What is a vision?
VISION & STRATEGY A Passion for BETTER - FASTER - CHEAPER PROCESS PEOPLE TECHNOLOGY Strategic Visioning
Resisting the Tide of Change “Doing your best is not enough.” W. Edwards Deming You must know what to do, how to do it and be willing to pay the price to do it.

Do You Need a New Purpose? • Confusion about where organization is going • Complaints about inability to contribute • Losing customers • Not current on the latest developments • Use of “We” and “They” • Excessive risk avoidance • Difficulty in describing improvement • Hyperactive rumor mill
Values Customer Expectations Mission Vision Purpose A Process Output/ Outcome Input Activity
Vision RIP RIP Humanity is grateful that someone who so adored their species lived among them I would rather be here than in Philadelphia What do you want said?
Vision What the organization ASPIRES to become
Vision Statement • Appropriate • Inspiring • Directing • Focusing • Guiding • Unique
Vision Statement A vision statement can be used as a marketing tool as well as an inspiration to employees: Ford's vision: Quality is job 1. ADM's vision: Supermarket to the world If the vision motivates employees, it will influence customers.
Mission What the organization SHOULD be doing
Mission Statement Broadest strategic planning choices of what the organization should do • Products/services • Markets • Customers • Competitors
Values Guides the organization’s BEHAVIOR
Values • Communicates what is and what is not right • Provide context for decision making • Enduring • Widely shared
Values Statement • Based on values of organization • Commits resources to achieve vision • Not a slogan • Lived everyday • Drives behavior of employees at all levels
Statement of Purpose "We will create a corporation in which all people, particularly technical employees, are respected and are able to work to the best of their ability." "We will not imitate the products of our competitors, but will try to create goods that have never existed in our market before." "We will focus on the consumer market and apply the most advanced technology to the consumer products area." Sony Corporation, 1946 Total Assets: $500 I know those guys!
Assignment For your own (pretend) company, develop • Vision • Mission • Values
A Discipline? • Article by Liles, Johnson, and Meade 1996 • Industrial Engineering Research Conference
Focus of Study • Unique fundamental question • Must be meaningful as technology changes • Enterprise Engineering - “how to design and and improve all elements associated with the total enterprise through the use of engineering and analysis methods and tools to more effectively achieve its goals and objectives
World View • Paradigm • Guides the discipline through research and practice • Enterprise Engineering • Enterprise can be viewed as a complex system • Enterprise is to be viewed as a system of processes that can be engineered both individually and holistically • Engineering rigor is required in transforming an enterprise • Enterprise CAN be engineered
