Abstract: This article presents some key aspects of the application of busi­ness process reengineering in modern business organizations. The study is dedicated to some important concepts for both the reengineering of busi­ness processes and the fundamental changes in the digital transformation of enterprises. In its nature, business process reengineering represents the creation of fundamentally new processes that dramatically increase the efficiency of an enterprise. It is based on the general methodology of pro­cess management and has similar features to some of the methods of pro­cess improvement and quality improvement. But unlike improvement, re­engineering implies a radical change of processes, not their gradual im­provement. The main goal of the research is to propose a universal meth­odology for the effective reengineering of business processes, based on world experience and good practices, applicable in Bulgarian business or­ganizations. It provides a basic framework for future more detailed and extensive research in the field of modeling, measurement, management and reengineering of business processes in the organization and analysis of the practical results achieved.
