Title: | Detection of batch activities from event logs | Authors: | MARTIN, Niels Pufahl, Luise Mannhardt, Felix |
Issue Date: | 2020 | Publisher: | PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD | Source: | Information systems (Oxford), 95 (Art N° 101642) | Abstract: | Organizations carry out a variety of business processes in order to serve their clients. Usually supported by information technology and systems, process execution data is logged in an event log. Process mining uses this event log to discover the process' control-flow, its performance, information about the resources, etc. A common assumption is that the cases are executed independently of each other. However, batch work-the collective execution of cases for specific activities-is a common phenomenon in operational processes to save costs or time. Existing research has mainly focused on discovering individual batch tasks. However, beyond this narrow setting, batch processing may consist of the execution of several linked tasks. In this work, we present a novel algorithm which can also detect parallel, sequential and concurrent batching over several connected tasks, i.e., subprocesses. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on synthetic logs generated by a business process simulator, as well as on a real-world log obtained from a hospital's digital whiteboard system. The evaluation shows that batch processing at the subprocess level can be reliably detected. | Keywords: | Business Process;Batch Activity;Batch Processing;Discovery;Process Mining;Batch Mining | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/32668 | ISSN: | 0306-4379 | e-ISSN: | 1873-6076 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.is.2020.101642 | ISI #: | WOS:000581494100014 | Rights: | 2020ElsevierLtd.Allrightsreserved. | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2021 |
