Celonis receives patent for method to repair process abnormalities Exposing business inefficiencies from data and realizing effective business improvements
……
Celonis, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Masashi Murase; hereafter referred to as Celonis), a global leader in process mining, today announced that it will monitor running process instances, which is the core technology of process mining, and We are pleased to announce that we have obtained a patent for a method for repairing process abnormalities. This makes it possible to recognize and repair defects or anomalies during the execution of a process instance.
Development background
More and more companies today are analyzing their digitized business processes as the next step in their digital transformation journey. The processes that companies should analyze include both assembly processes and production processes, as well as the back-end business processes of general companies.
This process is referred to as a process instance of a particular process. Each process step typically produces data that is stored in a computer system. For example, computer systems record who performed which process steps in the ordering process and when. In the case of assembly processes, it is possible to record which assembly steps were carried out and with which parameters (e.g. the torque for tightening screws) when assembling the vehicle, and these recorded data can be used to provide information relevant to the analysis of the process. information can be extracted.
These analyzes are back-reference or retrospective analyzes of already executed process instances that can provide information about the inefficiencies of the respective processes. Therefore, it is not possible to proactively intervene and control a defective process instance, and it is only possible to detect it after the process instance is executed. So, for example, in a vehicle assembly process, it was only after the assembly process was completed that it could be determined that the assembly of the vehicle exceeded the predetermined assembly time. Although it should probably be possible to improve process instances to be executed in the future based on the analysis of already executed process instances using known methods from the prior art, , failures or anomalies that could occur despite process improvements were not recognized or were not able to be remedied at all.
Patent overview
A method for monitoring running process instances and repairing process abnormalities. (a) in the monitoring step, the sensor monitors the process protocol and detects a process that includes one or more process instances having a process anomaly described in the sensor definition; and (b) in the remediation step, the sensor Provides a method for process anomalies to be repaired during runtime for process instances detected in .
