A Look at Modern Process Optimization
In today’s business world, efficient processes are the key to long-term success. But how do companies identify whether their internal processes are truly efficient? Traditionally, this was done through classic process analysis, in which processes were often recorded, modeled, and examined manually. However, with digitalization and the exponential growth of data volumes, a new tool has emerged that is revolutionizing the entire analysis process: process mining.
In this blog post, we take a look at the differences between the classic solution and process mining. You will also learn why process mining is so valuable today and how BREDEX GmbH supports companies in fully exploiting the potential of their processes with its innovative solution.
What Is Traditional Process Analysis?
Traditional analysis involves methods for documenting and optimizing existing business processes. This often takes the form of interviews, workshops, and the creation of process models to identify and improve inefficient workflows.
This approach undoubtedly has its strengths, especially when it comes to building a deep understanding of the processes within the company.
However, it also has clear weaknesses:
- Subjectivity: The analysis often relies on the perspectives and assessments of the people involved. This can lead to inaccurate or distorted results.
- Time consumption: The manual collection and documentation of processes is time-consuming and costly.
- Static nature: Traditional analyses often only capture snapshots of processes and do not take into account real-time dynamics and changes.
What Is Process Mining?
In contrast, process mining uses the actual digital traces left behind in IT systems to analyze and optimize business processes based on data. Every action performed in a system—from placing an order in an ERP system to making a booking in a CRM—leaves behind a timestamp and a data trail. These digital footprints are collected and visualized by process mining tools to provide a precise, data-driven view of the real processes within the company.
The Advantages of Process Mining Compared to Traditional Process Analysis?
Why is process mining so valuable today? Here are some of the main reasons:
Objectivity and Accuracy
Process mining is based on real data rather than subjective assessments. This means that it provides an unbiased, objective view of the actual processes within a company. Unlike traditional analysis, where human error and bias can play a role, process mining enables fact-based analysis.
Real-Time Insights
While traditional analysis is static and usually only performed at a specific point in time, process mining provides continuous insights into current processes. Companies can identify bottlenecks or delays in real time and take immediate countermeasures.
Automated and Comprehensive Process Overview
Process mining automatically reveals all variations and exceptions in a process that occur in reality. This is difficult to achieve with manual analyses, as these often only focus on “ideal” processes. Process mining, however, shows all deviations from the norm and thus provides a more holistic view.
Speed and Efficiency
The use of process mining saves valuable time and resources. While traditional methods often take weeks or months to model and analyze processes, process mining can deliver insightful results in a very short time.
Transparency and Traceability
Since process mining records every single action within a process in detail, companies can more easily identify which steps are problematic. This not only facilitates the identification of inefficiencies, but also communication and understanding throughout the company.
