Business Process Reengineering (BPR) for the Implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System for Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA)

As part of the implementation of an authority-wide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) services were rendered in order to document the existing procedures and methods for carrying-out systematic tasks related to capital development projects, accounting, procurement, accounts payable / receivable, asset management, revenue management, human resources and budgeting.

Once the existing procedures were documented and analyzed, the project team provided industry Best Practices and proceeded to develop a Concept of Operations (CONOPS) which enhanced work processes, reduced process redundancy and joined processes. The final stage of the program included the preparation of "to-be" process workflows which illustrated and described the process enhancements.

AviatDesign, Inc. was contracted by The Solution Design Group to carry-out all services related to the Capital Program Lifecycle which encompassed all processes related to the Capital Construction Program (CCP), Capital Operating Maintenance Investment Program (COMIP) and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) projects undertaken by the Authority. The lifecycle guides all projects from the initial identification of a capital project through the planning, design and construction / execution stages and eventually to project completion.

Services rendered specifically by aviatDesign, Inc. for Dorsch Consult Ing. mbH included:

• Completion of "As-Is" process maps and reports which documented and described all key processes for carrying-out CCP, COMIP and O&M projects.
• Completion of "Best Practices" which documented and reported advancements in the aviation industry and outlined how Best Practices may be introduced into the Authority.
• Prepared "Concept of Operations" documentation which outlined integration with other lifecycles and provided and overview on how existing process could be enhanced and/or refined.
• Completion of "To-Be" process documentation including process maps which illustrated the recommended process flows and how those flows may be streamlined through the implementation of an ERP system.
