Process mining uses the event data already stored in business systems to show how processes really run, rather than how people think they run. This course introduces process mining concepts and tools and shows how to discover process flows, measure conformance, identify bottlenecks and rework, and prioritise improvements and automation. Participants work with sample event logs, interpret process maps and build an improvement case, combining process mining with lean and continuous improvement methods.
