Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gains from Business Process Reengineering (BPR) were not positive in every case, as some organizations failed to fully understand and implement the principles correctly. However, successful implementation of BPR requires a deep understanding of existing processes and the identification of inefficiencies to be addressed, rather than a blind approach of simply wrecking the previous processes. Therefore, the gains from BPR cannot be achieved through a blind approach, as indicated in option C. Option B is not a correct answer since BPR is a separate concept from lean manufacturing methods, although they may overlap.
