The Fundamentals of Process Mining and How Companies Can Benefit
To improve your business processes, it's crucial to understand what's truly happening: Where are the bottlenecks that are affecting lead time? Why is rework occurring, and in which areas? What are the key factors driving poor performance? The vast amount of data generated during process execution holds significant potential for optimization, and this is where process mining comes into play
Imagine shopping in your favorite grocery store. Every time you go, you follow a certain path: first, you grab a cart, then you go to the bakery section, pick up some fruits, head to the dairy aisle for milk, and finally check out at the register.
Now, what if we could watch all the paths that every shopper takes in the store? Some people might go straight to the milk, others might wander around before checking out, and some might even go back and forth between aisles.
Process mining is like that—it's a way of "watching" how things actually happen in a business, step by step. But instead of shoppers in a store, it's about looking at the steps people take to do their work, like processing orders, handling customer complaints, or even making a product. When you have thousands of data records to analyze every month, the task can quickly become overwhelming.
Namuda's process mining capabilities helps organizations understand and optimize their business processes by analyzing the data already available in their systems. It provides a clear, data-driven view of how your processes actually work in real life, as opposed to how you think they work or how they were originally designed.
Imagine being able to visualize the entire journey of an order, a customer complaint, or any other process from start to finish. With Namuda, you can do just that. By extracting and analyzing event logs from your IT systems—such as ERP, CRM, or other databases—Namuda creates a visual map of the process, showing every step, variation, and exception.
Here's how Namuda can benefit your business:
- Transparency: You get a detailed view of your processes, including variations and bottlenecks that may not be immediately visible through traditional analysis.
- Efficiency: By identifying inefficiencies, redundant steps, or delays, Namuda helps you streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve productivity.
- Compliance: Ensure that your processes adhere to internal policies and external regulations by comparing the actual process flow with the desired or prescribed process.
