Abstract
This paper aims to report a CALS/EC education and training course for Japanese small-and medium-sized enterprises, conducted by the Advanced Polytechnic Center of Employment Promotion Corporation, and administered by the Japanese Ministry of Labor. The course was started in 1996, with the intention of training 'CALS engineers' to be able to structure/ restructure business processes in CALS or CALS-like environments, and to re-engineer questionable traditional Japanese management practices, particularly in small- and medium-sized enterprises. Concepts and curricula of the course are discussed, particularly in terms of its CALS/EC based business process re-engineering. An example of practical course exercises, which require participants to model both 'as-is' and 'to-be' business processes to enhance the above-mentioned ability, is also presented.
