Changes can be done through re-organizing  the business processes to achieve dramatic improvement in terms of quality, speed, cost of  product and services offered to customers. Business engineering (BE) is an approach that  could be used to achieve these desired objectives. BE focuses on processes which brings forth  the need for consistent methods and techniques for process modeling, that is to capture,  represent and assess the performance of the business process. Object-oriented (00) paradigm  is the most recent approach that could be used for business process modeling and it must be  supported by workflow analysis and simulation techniques to fully represent a specific  business domain. In this study, the concept of BE has been developed and applied using  integrated 00 approach to represent two core processes within Solomon Islands Ports  Authority operation. Firstly, the 00 and Workflow Analysis models were developed and  applied to the selected process on the "AS-IS" basis. Based on these models the redesign of  the processes are carried out using simulation tools to determine different alternatives.  Finally, the desired processes were re-modeled to represent the "TO-BE" process that could be  the basis for development of information system (IS) to support the re-engineering effort.  0aObject-oriented programming (Computer science) 0aReengineering (Management)0 aVatcharaporn Esichaikul,eChairperson1 aBatanov, Dentcho N.,eExamination Committee1 aDevadason,  Francis J.,eExamination committee2 aCommonwealth Secretariat,eScholarship donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tResearch studies project report ;vno.
