Abstract
The Chapter presents the application of IPPR to a reengineering problem belonging to class 2, i.e. individuating the bottlenecks that generate loss of competitiveness. The case study concerns a branch of the Italian footwear industry which is represented by firms producing “accessible fashion” shoes. During the last years such a sector has experienced serious problems in preserving its competitiveness. The most critical factor has been identified as the timeliness in responding to a market demand characterized by rapidly mutating conditions. The aim of IPPR in such context was the individuation of proper reengineering actions allowing more dynamic business process resetting. The outcomes of the performed analysis suggest to reorganize the whole process according to quick response strategies. A verification through literature sources has confirmed the appropriateness of the provided indications.
