What is Process Mining?

A short Introduction

THE DEFINITION

Process|Mining

[ˈprəʊ.ses ˈmaɪ.nɪŋ], the; (Business Process Discovery)

Automated business process analysis – with all relevant key figures – based on digital traces in IT systems. Process knowledge contained in data, implicit and otherwise hidden is visualized and thus tangible and transportable.

Process mining is a technology for the systematic analysis and evaluation of business processes. In such a digitized world, the problem often arises that overview is lost due to an infinite amount of incoming data. Process Mining examines this data, visualizes the process flows in real time and identifies weak points. Effort, time and ultimately the costs for process analysis and optimization can thus be significantly reduced.

Process Mining Phases

  • Problems are concretized, requirements identified and the objective is defined
  • Process data is evaluated and deviations from the target process are made apparent
  • Causes of problems and inefficiencies are identified, analyzed and processed into visual indicators
  • Countermeasures are taken to optimize the detected vulnerabilities
