business process re-engineering/re-engineering of the administrative system


Explanation:
I don't translate these language pairs, so this is a guess based on management experience. Could this be an alternative way of describing business process re-engineering--the restructuring of administrative methods, as in the French record?

Business Process Re-engineering

Introduction

Many businesses today are interested in re-shaping (a.k.a. re-engineering) their internal procedures and processes. A process is any operational **or administrative system** which transforms inputs into valued outputs - typically a sequence of tasks arranged into a procedure or set of work arrangements perhaps involving various machines, departments and people.

reorganization or even retraining


Explanation:
The above are 2 possible translations of "reconversión" given in Collins (in addition to the restructuring you were already given), depending on context. These also come up in EuroDicAutom:

Spanish Term reconversión
Reference CILF,Dict.Agriculture,ACCT,1977
English Term reorganization
Reference CILF,Dict.Agriculture,ACCT,1977

Spanish Term reconversión profesional
Reference cf.RF FR
English Term vocational retraining
Reference cf.RF FR

You'll have to look at your overall context and see what works best for you.

Hope it helps.
