QPR ProcessAnalyzer BPMN Editor

The Enhanced BPMN analyzes process mining data with the help of a designed BPMN process model. You can for example:

• See process mining KPI's and statistics calculated on the fly top of the BPMN diagram during the modeling the BPMN
• Run conformance analysis using the designed BPMN model
• Filter data directly from the BPMN diagram

The BPMN diagram can be drawn from scratch or imported from a BPMN 2.0 XML file. The ready diagram can be exported to a BPMN 2.0 XML file.

In the Enhanced BPMN view, there is the traditional process mining flowchart on the left, which can be filtered. The flowchart can be changed to other analysis by right clicking the chart and selected another analysis from the context menu.

BPMN diagrams are created by dragging items from the tool palette. Start event, end event, task and gateways are the most used elements. When you add a BPMN task to the canvas, all event types are shown in a list next to the task, and an event type can be selected to match it with the created task. When the task is added, KPI values are calculated and shown in the blue background. When flows are added, KPI values are calculated and shown for them, too. By clicking the KPI in the top right legend, the KPI value is hidden, to make the BPMN diagram more readable if there are lots of items.

The following KPI's are shown:

• Cases having task: Number of cases in the process mining data, that have this task (=event type).
• Task occurred: Number of times this type of event has occurred in the process mining data. This number is the same or larger than the Cases having task count. If it's larger, the event has occurred more than once in a case (looping, repetition).

Flow has a different meaning in the BPMN diagram than in the traditional process mining diagram. In the process mining diagram, a flow is direct transition between two events. This means that no other event has occurred between the start and end event of the flow. In the BPMN diagram. KPI's for flows:

• Flow median duration: Median duration from the task event of the flow to the end event of the flow.
• Flow occurred: Number of times the flow has occurred in all cases. The BPMN flow occurs when in the case there occurs the starting event and that is followed by the end event at any point in the case.
• Other events between: Number of events that has occurred between the starting and ending event in the flow.

When you select a BPMN task, it suggest to create a filter. In the dropdown list you can select which type of filter is created. When you select a BPMN flow, it also suggest to create a filter.

Addiotional functionalities:

• You can create a filter for the conforming cases or nonconforming cases based on the current BPMN diagram, by selecting Include conforming cases or Include nonconforming cases from the BPMN diagram's context menu.
• You can export the BPMN diagram contents as a flat list by clicking the Export all BPMN elements as CSV.
• You can delete the current diagram and start from an empty canvas by selecting Delete diagram from the BPMN diagram's context menu.

There are also following reports available:

• Duration distribution between tasks (select 2 tasks)
• Flow duration distribution (select 1 flow)
• Task occurrences across time (select 1 task)
• Task repetition in cases (select 1 task)
