    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for process re-engineering analysis. The method includes generating a graphical display in an analysis tool and inputting in the display a set of steps of an existing business process specifying in the display a set of key criteria against which the set of steps are evaluated. A set of steps of a new business process intended to replace the existing business process are additionally input into the display and the new steps are scored in the display in connection with the key criteria in terms of improving the criteria, worsening the criteria, or no change. Finally, a sum of the scores is computed to produce an aggregate score for the new steps and indicating in the display a bias to the new steps in response to a determination that the aggregate score is better than the existing process.
