TY - JOUR A1 - Martínez Lorente, Ángel Rafael T1 - Business process reengineering to total quality management an examination of the issues. Y1 - 1999 SN - 1463-7154 UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10317/428 AB - This paper examines two research questions. Firstly, is a re-engineered company a suitable platform for the subsequent application of TQM principles? Secondly, is BPR an appropriate means to transform an organisation operating along traditional lines into one which is managed using TQM principles? It is argued that these questions have been given scant attention by the academic fraternity. The analysis presented in the paper indicates that the application of BPR can provide the base for the subsequent development of TQM.
