Process Analytics and Intelligence Semantics and other Frontiers

Why Care About BPM Analytics?

When Workflow Management Systems first began to proliferate (1990s) there was little attention paid to the data generated by the running processes.

Most thought of this as an audit trail, not a source of information for process improvement.

We now understand that the historical record contains valuable information essential to a well orchestrated continuous process improvement program.

Correctly designed analytics is the starting point for providing business process intelligence.

The analytics drives both real-time monitoring and predictive optimization of the executing Business Process Management System.

Search is still manual - need suggestions (Amazon for BPM)

Workflow isn’t dead - not even close

SimulationWhy would you want to build simulation models?

A simulation model lets you do what-ifs

What if I changed my staff schedules

What if I bought a faster check sorter

What if the number of applications increased dramatically because of a marketing campaign

The simulation results predict the effect on critical KPIs such as end-to-end cycle time and cost per processed application.

Simulation plays an important role in continuous process improvement

Simulation Technology

Simulation is useful to make the business case for new processes

Simulation models for existing processes are great for tweaking

But Businesses don’t operate one process at a time

Resource dependencies across many processes

Questions such as staff training/assignment can’t be answered by single simulation

Even experienced modelers can use some suggestions

Process Semantics (e.g., activity labels)

BPMN Semantics (e.g., objects +

connectors) Payload Semantics (e.g., data objects +

Payload Instance Semantics (e.g.,

case data + messages)

Processing Behavior (e.g., audit trail)

Layout (placement of objects)

Metadata (e.g. author, version, validity)
