Process Mining For Supporting Data Processing And Process Design In Production And Logistics

The increasing individualisation of production and logistics elevates the complexity of material flows, as diverse process steps, along with their specific characteristics and interdependencies, must be effectively integrated. Managing these material flow processes demands extensive and accurate data. Process Mining, a technique originally developed in business process analysis, enables the use of existing data to make physical processes transparent in the digital world. This paper examines the application of Process Mining in production and logistics, with a particular focus on how it can impact data processing and support established tools like simulation through more accurate process design in modelling.
