Process mining is a discipline positioned at the crossroads of computational intelligence, data mining, and process modeling and analysis. The idea of process mining is to discover, monitor and improve real processes by extracting knowledge from the event logs produced as part of on-going business activity.
Adapted from Process Mining Manifesto
What Is Process Mining?
![Page 3: Process Mining For Customer Support](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051400/55a97b691a28abf2598b4576/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Process Aware System Lifecycle

Some reasons support may adapt well to Process Mining: * Highly disciplined * Heavily instrumented and regimented * Fairly well documented processes * Culture of metrics and improvement
Why Support?
![Page 5: Process Mining For Customer Support](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051400/55a97b691a28abf2598b4576/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
* Business: Do More With Less * Efficiency and Effectiveness
* Reduce cost / case or / customer -‐> Operational metrics * Case life, backlog, time since last touched * Cases / installation * Improve effectiveness -‐> Result metrics * NPS, CSAT * Correlate and analyze data * Prioritized action list
Process Improvement Goals

* Greater granularity <-‐> abstraction * Drill down to individual process elements * Segregate data by operational element (geo, product) * Combine process elements to study overall activity
Improving Process Improvement

Yes, we do!
But, We Don’t Have The Data

Traditional Operation

Weaknesses? * Reliance on generalized metrics * Anecdotal review of one or small number of process instances * Limited ability to drill down and investigate * Not much abstraction ability either * Event logs used only sporadically and reactively
Familiar?

With Process Mining – Discovery
![Page 11: Process Mining For Customer Support](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051400/55a97b691a28abf2598b4576/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
* Model the executed, real-‐world, processes * Identify and review process variants * Discover informal collaboration and knowledge * Investigate and measure every action and transition * Support for Lean perspectives * Workload / People perspectives
Discovery Benefits

Discovery Results
Case flow via activities: Process flow: • Activity Frequency Bottlenecks: • Critical activities and
paths • Investigate operational
metrics

Lean Resource Perspective
Activity flow through cases: • Most demanding cases • Case idle times

Bottleneck Identification
Critical Resources: • People • Machines

Collaboration
Flow of work through specific people or resources: • Knowledge centers • Critical resources

Combine your existing and discovered process models: * Find degree of conformance between the two * Understand repeat offences and take corrective action * Systems * Processes * Metrics * People
* Estimate cost and benefit of alignment vs. no action
Conformance Benefits
