One of the common goals when using process mining is monitoring compliance with standards and regulations of a pre-defined process. Questions that you would like to answer here are:
- Are the newly agreed-upon approvals being followed?
- Do we always perform a four-eye check?
- Do we only approve a PO after a PR has been created?
To put it in other words; here you check if you have followed the process as prescribed; if you have completed all activities and if you completed them in the right sequence. Compliance analysis Tab goals:
- Look at a process step sequence.
- Find anomalies or compliance violations in your process.
- See if steps were executed in the correct order or which user (employee; robot; or system) performed a step.
- In the center of this tab; you’ll see a case by case overview of all cases in the event log; including the actual order of activities that occurred per case.
- At the top right of this tab; you’ll find the activities list. From this list; you can drag and drop activities into the graph to create a process sequence.
- On the left; you can see the navigation bar with different graph
In the top; you can filter cases based on specific activities that did or did not occur and in a specific order. This process sequence can then be used to filter the ‘case by case’ overview. You can; for example; select specific transactions that ARE or ARE NOT directly or eventually followed by one or more other activities. Activities can be selected in the Events Filter visual on the top. For example: First; we select “Create Purchase Order” into the graph. Then; as we want to see cases where the PO was NOT followed at all by an approval; we select ‘Approve PO Level 1’ and select the filtering option 'not followed at some point’. Next; we click on the filter button to activate this filter. The results will be filtered on the total report page and can be used for process mining analyses.
Compliance Analysis report overview
1. Menu
Use the buttons in the menu to navigate between pages in the Mavim Process Mining report.
2. Events filter
Filter the sequence between 2 activities. Select if these activities should directly follow; not directly follow; follow at some point; or not followed at some point.
3. Process Analyzer
With the Process Analyzer visual you visualize the process flow and all its variations.
4. Duration
The average duration of the selected cases is shown.
5. #Cases
The number of unique case identifiers is shown and depending on your selection or filtering the gauge will show its corresponding amount of unique case identifiers.
6. #Activities
This shows the unique count of activities that are executed in your analysis based upon the event log.
7. #Variants
This shows the amount of unique process sequences from the total event log. Depending on the selection the gauge will show its respective amount of unique process variants.
8. Variant Filter
Select one or more Variant IDs to filter the Process Analzyer.
9. #Cases started between
Use this filter option to select a time period to filter the case ids.
10. #Cases started per month
This gives you a visual representation of the cases and at which moment in time they where started. It allows you to discover process anomalies.
11. Case viewer
Activate the toggle switch to dive deeper into to each unique case identifier.
12. Drillthrough
Use this button to apply certain filtering on the Compliance Analysis tab and include this filtering into another report page for further process analysis.
13. Reset
Use this button to reset all filtering options and start from scratch on this report page.
