...MGT 218 Chapter 4: An investigation into how Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) and Lean concepts could improve the effectiveness of Sheffield University and give them a strategic edge. 4.1 Introduction The University of Sheffield (TUoS) is currently among the world’s top higher learning institutions, largely due to its high quality staff members and modern infrastructure. To maintain and improve its status among the world’s elite, it is fundamental for the University to understand and implement Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) to its existing processes. BPR can be defined as the fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in critical, contemporary measures of performance, such as cost, quality, service, and speed (Hammer & Champy, 1990). This chapter aims to dwell deeper into how changing or adding on to existing processes and systems can benefit the University and its stakeholders 4.2 The Current State Of The University’s Systems and Processes In the past, many universities have restructured the way they ran their business. One good example would be the Montana State University in the United States, which in 2006 reviewed their old financial and administrative processes and subsequently identified areas for improvement. As a result, they managed to increase overall efficiency and eliminate unnecessary costs. The University of Sheffield currently runs SAP software, and have been doing so since 2007. One...

...Java RMI and .Net Remoting Performance Comparison Willem Elbers, Frank Koopmans and Ken Madlener Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen December 2004 Abstract Java and .Net are both widely used for creating Middleware solutions. There are many interesting aspects which can be compared between Java and .Net. In this paper we examine the architecture of Java RMI and .Net Remoting and test their performance as they come ”out-of-the-box”. The performance was measured over a series of 3 different tests using .Net and Java’s high performance timers and our own modules to measure CPU utilization and Memory usage. In all our tests Java RMI had the best performance times. 1 1 Introduction The creation of software has been evolving strongly over the past few years. High level programming languages are increasingly popular amongst software developers because there is a great need for software quality and lower development times, while not compromising on performance. Also, the Internet has become increasingly popular and the need for networking applications is greater then ever. Java and .Net are both widely used for creating Middleware solutions. There are many interesting aspects which can be compared between Java and .Net, this paper focuses specifically on Middleware performance. First there will be an overview of the Java and .Net middleware implementations, Java RMI and .Net Remoting. These will be described on an abstract level which will help understanding and explaining the...
