BPR is a Way to Reduce Staff Sensibly The reason BPR fell out of favor is misuse of the term; companies decide to loose fat quickly. They'd reduce staff without fixing the work, leaving everything in shambles. If you merely want to reduce waste, use LEAN first. If you want to radically transform your business model, use the BPR approach and create an improvement agenda.

Business Process Re-engineering and Downsizing @Eugene Bruseau: Yes, business process re-engineering has many challenges and constraints, particularly in government and public organizations. In such organization, employees once entered tend to claim that they are permanent staff and nobody can remove them even if they do not have the right job to perform, and no matter whether or not the organization is capable of paying them a regular salary. They think that it is their right to stay in the organization. In Nepal, there are more than a dozen of public enterprises that were closed many years ago in the BPR, but the employees are still there and demand their salaries and fringe benefits.
