How does it work?
Process Mining allows to follow up all of the events stored inside of IT-systems (SAP, ERP etc.), it is called digital tracing. This procedure of Event Logging can detect numerous patterns of the daily processes, for example: Sequence of activities, Decision rules and
Detection of communication paths and processing rules.
An event logging can be applied in different manners or variants, for example
- An event refers to a task
- An event refers to a specific process case
- An event has an initiator
- An event has a time stamp
Process Mining is concentrating on the process knowledge which is stored in the IT-systems. Process Mining gathers data which belong to certain process steps Based on this collection it is possible to draw a conclusion on the process sequence. There are applied classification tools.
Specific statistical analysis tools can detect differences between single process steps. As a result we receive a model of the true process and it’s visualization. We get a live picture of processes and can detect bottlenecks and weak positions. An additional advantage is that we can see different variants of a process.
This is highly relevant for administrative processes which depend very often on the individual handling of persons and therefore different processing is generated. The less amount of variants the higher the stability of such a process will be and efficiency will increase.
Different possibilities of analysis with Process Mining
After digital recording the events inside of a process along a defined time period the data can be analyzed from different perspctives or point of views. The options are discovery, conformance or enhancement. Discovery looks just for the existing process flow, conformance makes a comparison with a required process model and enhancement delivers an improved version.
Process Mining offers streams of analysis
Our primary interest is the process perspective which points out the true sequences of working and processing, also specific paths and problem stages. Another point of view is the organisational one. The specific flow of information between different persons of an organisational unit or a Business segment can deliver further knowledge.
Event Analysis
It’s possible to analyze the observed or measured events regarding type and frequency of information that are exchanged among them.
Conclusions regarding the organisation and the process
Sociograms can be one result of a Process Mining analysis and it gives us knowledge that refers to the relationships between the players or operators and their influences on the process outputs
