Unit Overview
- Description
This unit provides an introduction to process mining, a rapidly growing field that aims to improve organisational performance by analysing and optimising business processes. The unit covers key concepts in process mining, including process discovery, conformance checking, and process enhancement, and provides hands-on experience with process mining tools and techniques. Students will learn how to use process mining to analyse and optimise processes, identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies, and measure process performance.
The unit also explores the strategic and tactical implications of process mining for organisations and their information technology (IT) applications, including the challenges and opportunities of implementing process mining in real-world settings.
