Loops tab

Loops tab The Loops Report Tab focusses on those variants -- KA-01556

The Loops Report Tab focusses on those variants and individual cases where a specific activity or a sequence of activities had to be redone before it went forward in the process.

A loop is the repetition of one or more activities and often leads to unnecessary extra work and costs. The loop analysis distinguishes between Loops and Selfloops.

  • Next to the menu; you can see the Process Analyzer visual which gives you the opportunity to take a closer look at Loops in your process.
  • You can see an overview using four different cards in the navigation bar. Furthermore; the distribution of your (Self-)Loops over time is visualized in an area chart. By clicking on one or more points of that area chart you can activate the Mavim Root Cause Analyzer; which is located right underneath.

Loops – Definitions

  • Selfloop is an activity/process step that repeats itself. It is depicted as a circle (⟳) in the node of the activity. In this example Approve PO Level 1 was conducted more than once.
  • Loop: In contrast to a Selfloop; a Loop is a repetition of a sequence of process steps. In this example; the sequence of Post Goods Receipts and Post neg. Good Receipts was repeated.
  • IsRework combines information of process steps having at least one Loop or Selfloop. You will find two attributes in the data model indicating whether there is a loop or selfloop (=1) or not (=0). The two attributes can be found in the Event Log (namely ActivityHasLoopsOrSelfLoops) and in the Cases Table (as HasLoopsOrSelfLoops).

 

Loops Tab – Root cause analyzer


In case of a process anomaly; you can use the Mavim Root Cause Analyzer to deliver automatically generated principle insights on root causes of specific process behaviors (such as Duration Times or Loops). Here; you can use it to directly derive actions against the causes of Loops. The Root Cause Analyzer only starts an analysis when you make a seletion in the Report. This ranges from a specific process behavior; choosing an anomaly in a report element (table; pie chart; bar chart; etc.) or the Mavim Process Analyzer. Then the Root Cause Analyzer starts its AI-supported calculation of the causes. To activate the Root Cause Analyzer just click on one behavior you want to explain; such as a process step: Post Goods Receipts that can be potential explanation for the 317 selected cases that include rework.

Loops Analysis report overview


1. Menu
Use the buttons in the menu to navigate between pages in the Mavim Process Mining report.
2. #Cases by rework count
Shows you the amount of rework activitities per case id.
3. 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.
4. Lead time of cases that exclude rework
The average duration of the selected cases is shown that do not have any rework included in their process execution.
5. Lead time of cases that include rework
The average duration of the selected cases is shown that do have rework included in their process execution.
6. #Cases
The number of unique case identifiers is shown and depending on your selection or filtering the visual will show its corresponding amount of unique case identifiers.
7. # Loops
The absolute number of loops from all cases and its activities.
8. # SelfLoops
The absolute number of selfloops from all cases and its activities.
9. Cases with Rework
This visual shows the distribution of all cases that have rework included.
10. Activity overview
Shows you all activities with #events executed per activity; #loops; # self loops.
11. Process Analyzer
With the Process Analyzer visual you visualize the process flow and all its variations.
12. Root Cause Analyzer
Activate the toggle switch to dive deeper into the data with the Root Cause Analyzer enabled.
13. 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.
14. Reset
Use this button to reset all filtering options and start from scratch on this report page.
