Process mining is a family of techniques for analyzing event data to understand and improve operational processes. Part of the fields of data science and process management, process mining is generally built on logs that contain case id, a unique identifier for a particular process instance; an activity, a description of the event that is occurring; a timestamp; and sometimes other information such as resources, costs, and so on.[1][2]

There are three main classes of process mining techniques: process discovery, conformance checking, and process enhancement. In the past, terms like workflow mining and automated business process discovery (ABPD)[3] were used.

Overview

[edit]

Process mining techniques are often used when no formal description of the process can be obtained by other approaches, or when the quality of existing documentation is questionable.[4] For example, application of process mining methodology to the audit trails of a workflow management system, the transaction logs of an enterprise resource planning system, or the electronic patient records in a hospital can result in models describing processes of organizations.[5] Event log analysis can also be used to compare event logs with prior model(s) to understand whether the observations conform to a prescriptive or descriptive model. It is required that the event logs data be linked to a case ID, activities, and timestamps.[6][7]

Contemporary management trends such as BAM (business activity monitoring), BOM (business operations management), and BPI (business process intelligence) illustrate the interest in supporting diagnosis functionality in the context of business process management technology (e.g., workflow management systems and other process-aware information systems). Process mining is different from mainstream machine learning, data mining, and artificial intelligence techniques. For example, process discovery techniques in the field of process mining try to discover end-to-end process models that are able to describe sequential, choice relation, concurrent and loop behavior. Conformance checking techniques are closer to optimization than to traditional learning approaches. However, process mining can be used to generate machine learning, data mining, and artificial intelligence problems. After discovering a process model and aligning the event log, it is possible to create basic supervised and unsupervised learning problems. For example, to predict the remaining processing time of a running case or to identify the root causes of compliance problems.

The IEEE Task Force on Process Mining was established in October 2009 as part of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society.[8] This is a vendor-neutral organization that aims to promote the research, development, education and understanding of process mining, make end-users, developers, consultants, and researchers aware of the state-of-the-art in process mining, promote the use of process mining techniques and tools and stimulate new applications, play a role in standardization efforts for logging event data (e.g., XES), organize tutorials, special sessions, workshops, competitions, panels, and develop material (papers, books, online courses, movies, etc.) to inform and guide people new to the field. The IEEE Task Force on Process Mining established the International Process Mining Conference (ICPM) series,[9] lead the development of the IEEE XES standard for storing and exchanging event data[10][11], and wrote the Process Mining Manifesto[12] which was translated into 16 languages.

History and place in data science

[edit]

The term "process mining" was coined in a research proposal written by the Dutch computer scientist Wil van der Aalst.[13] By 1999, this new field of research emerged under the umbrella of techniques related to data science and process science at Eindhoven University. In the early days, process mining techniques were often studied with techniques used for workflow management. In 2000, the first practical algorithm for process discovery, "Alpha miner" was developed. The next year, research papers introduced "Heuristic miner" a much similar algorithm based on heuristics. More powerful algorithms such as inductive miner were developed for process discovery. 2004 saw the development of "Token-based replay" for conformance checking. Process mining branched out "performance analysis", "decision mining" and "organizational mining" in 2005 and 2006. In 2007, the first commercial process mining company "Futura Pi" was established. In 2009, the IEEE task force on PM governing body was formed to oversee the norms and standards related to process mining. Further techniques for conformance checking led in 2010 to alignment-based conformance checking". In 2011, the first process mining book was published. About 30 commercially available process mining tools were available in 2018[citation needed].

Categories

[edit]

There are three categories of process mining techniques.

  • Process discovery: The first step in process mining. The main goal of process discovery is to transform the event log into a process model. An event log can come from any data storage system that records the activities in an organisation along with the timestamps for those activities. Such an event log is required to contain a case id (a unique identifier to recognise the case to which activity belongs), activity description (a textual description of the activity executed), and timestamp of the activity execution. The result of process discovery is generally a process model which is representative of the event log. Such a process model can be discovered, for example, using techniques such as alpha algorithm (a didactically driven approach), heuristic miner, or inductive miner.[14] Many established techniques exist for automatically constructing process models (for example, Petri nets, BPMN diagrams, activity diagrams, State diagrams, and EPCs) based on an event log.[14][15][16][17][18] Recently, process mining research has started targeting other perspectives (e.g., data, resources, time, etc.). One example is the technique described in (Aalst, Reijers, & Song, 2005),[19] which can be used to construct a social network. Nowadays, techniques such as "streaming process mining" are being developed to work with continuous online data that has to be processed on the spot.
  • Conformance checking: Helps in comparing an event log with an existing process model to analyse the discrepancies between them. Such a process model can be constructed manually or with the help of a discovery algorithm. For example, a process model may indicate that purchase orders of more than 1 million euros require two checks. Another example is the checking of the so-called "four-eyes" principle. Conformance checking may be used to detect deviations (compliance checking), or evaluate the discovery algorithms, or enrich an existing process model. An example is the extension of a process model with performance data, i.e., some a priori process model is used to project the potential bottlenecks. Another example is the decision miner described in (Rozinat & Aalst, 2006b),[20] which takes an a priori process model and analyses every choice in the process model. The event log is consulted for each option to see which information is typically available the moment the choice is made. Conformance checking has various techniques such as "token-based replay", "streaming conformance checking" that are used depending on the system needs.Then classical data mining techniques are used to see which data elements influence the choice. As a result, a decision tree is generated for each choice in the process.
  • Performance analysis: Used when there is an a priori model. The model is extended with additional performance information such as processing times, cycle times, waiting times, costs, etc., so that the goal is not to check conformance, but rather to improve the performance of the existing model with respect to certain process performance measures. An example is the extension of a process model with performance data, i.e., some prior process model dynamically annotated with performance data. It is also possible to extend process models with additional information such as decision rules and organisational information (e.g., roles).

Process mining software

[edit]

Process mining software helps organizations analyze and visualize their business processes based on data extracted from various sources, such as transaction logs or event data. This software can identify patterns, bottlenecks, and inefficiencies within a process, enabling organizations to improve their operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance their customer experience. In 2025, Gartner listed 40 tools in its process mining platform review category.[21]

Process mining is a family of techniques that leverage event logs from information systems to discover, monitor, and enhance the actual execution of business processes. These event logs typically record sequences of activities, including timestamps, resources, and case identifiers, providing an objective basis for reconstructing how processes unfold in reality rather than relying on subjective descriptions or predefined models. Originating in the late as part of efforts to bridge and , process mining has evolved into a mature discipline supported by open-source tools like —which began with 29 plug-ins in and now exceeds 1,500—and over 40 commercial platforms used across industries such as healthcare, , and . At its core, process mining encompasses three main types of analysis: discovery, which automatically generates process models from event logs without prior knowledge; conformance checking, which detects deviations between observed behavior and normative models to ensure compliance and identify inefficiencies; and enhancement, which refines existing models by incorporating performance metrics, such as bottlenecks or resource utilization, to support predictive and prescriptive improvements. This fact-based approach enables organizations to move beyond traditional process mapping methods—like interviews or simulations—toward evidence-driven insights that reveal hidden patterns, root causes of delays, and opportunities for . Pioneered by researchers including Wil van der Aalst, the field addresses challenges such as handling noisy or incomplete data, modeling concurrency, and scaling to large event logs, as outlined in foundational manifestos and research agendas. By integrating with technologies like and , process mining facilitates continuous process optimization in dynamic environments.

Introduction

Definition and Scope

Process mining is a data-driven that extracts from event logs generated by information systems to discover, monitor, and improve real-world processes. Unlike traditional , which depends on expert-designed models often detached from actual execution, process mining uses empirical data to reveal how processes truly operate, bridging the gap between normative prescriptions and descriptive realities. This approach enables organizations to analyze processes based on recorded events rather than assumptions or simulations. The scope of process mining encompasses three primary pillars: process discovery, conformance checking, and enhancement. In process discovery, algorithms construct a process model directly from the event log without relying on a pre-existing model, capturing the actual sequence and structure of activities. Conformance checking compares the observed behavior in the event log against a to detect deviations, bottlenecks, or compliance issues. Enhancement extends or refines an existing model by incorporating additional insights from the log, such as metrics or assignments. These pillars operate across multiple perspectives, including control-flow (the order of activities), performance (timing and durations), organizational (resource involvement and handovers), and case (attributes specific to individual process instances). At its core, process mining relies on event logs as input, which consist of structured records of events linked to process instances. Each event typically includes a case ID to identify the process instance, an activity describing the executed step, and a timestamp indicating when the event occurred; additional attributes like resources or costs may also be present. Outputs include visual process models (e.g., Petri nets or BPMN diagrams), diagnostic reports, and quantitative insights into process efficiency or variants. Process mining relates to but distinguishes itself from precursor fields like mining, an early term from the late 1990s focused primarily on discovering models from logs in enterprise systems. It also differs from general , which identifies arbitrary patterns across datasets, by emphasizing the sequential and relational nature of events to reconstruct and optimize structured processes rather than isolated correlations.

Importance and Benefits

Process mining plays a pivotal role in the era of by enabling organizations to navigate the complexities of interconnected IT systems and fragmented sources. As businesses increasingly adopt hybrid environments with multiple applications and tools, process mining extracts actionable insights from event to reveal how processes truly operate across , facilitating more effective integration and optimization. This capability is essential for handling the scale and variability of modern IT landscapes, where traditional often falls short due to incomplete . One of the primary benefits of process mining is its ability to identify bottlenecks, deviations, and inefficiencies in real-world processes, allowing for targeted data-driven redesign. By analyzing event logs, it uncovers variations from intended workflows, such as unnecessary loops or delays, which can lead to substantial gains; for instance, case studies have demonstrated reductions in times by up to 56% and operational costs by 30% in scenarios. Additionally, process mining supports compliance and auditing by performing conformance checking to verify adherence to regulations and internal policies, reducing risks of non-compliance and enabling auditors to focus on anomalies rather than manual sampling. The broader impact of process mining extends to fostering continuous improvement in volatile business environments, where rapid changes demand adaptive strategies. It quantifies through metrics like throughput time reductions, with reported efficiency gains of 20-30% in key processes across industries such as and , thereby justifying investments in process optimization. In agile methodologies and practices, process mining provides empirical visibility into deployment pipelines and iterative cycles, helping teams detect waste and enhance flow efficiency—for example, by monitoring lead times and rates to support faster, more reliable deliveries.

Historical Development

Origins and Key Milestones

Process mining emerged in the late as an extension of management research, driven by the need to automatically discover process models from event data rather than relying solely on manual modeling. Pioneering work at , led by van der Aalst, introduced the concept through a 1999 titled "Process Design by Discovery: Harvesting Knowledge from Ad-hoc Processes," which first coined the term "process mining" and highlighted the potential to extract from transaction logs in information systems. This shift addressed the limitations of traditional systems, where predefined models often failed to capture real-world deviations, prompting a data-driven approach to process analysis. Key milestones in the field's early development include the publication of van der Aalst and Kees van Hee's book Workflow Management: Models, Methods, and Systems in 2002, which provided foundational models for integrating process discovery techniques into broader workflow paradigms and emphasized the role of event logs in verification and simulation. The first international workshop on Intelligence (BPI'05) was held on September 5, 2005, in , in conjunction with the BPM conference, fostering collaboration on process mining methods and marking the beginning of dedicated academic forums for the topic. A significant advancement came in 2009 when the on Process Mining proposed the eXtensible Event Stream (XES) as a standardized XML-based format for event logs, enabling across tools and addressing fragmentation in data representation. In 2012, the on Process Mining published the Process Mining Manifesto, providing guiding principles for the discipline. Early challenges centered on the absence of standardized data formats, which hindered the extraction and sharing of event logs from diverse systems like ERP and CRM software, often resulting in inconsistent inputs for mining algorithms. Additionally, the transition from manual process modeling to automated discovery required overcoming issues like noisy or incomplete logs, as highlighted in initial research agendas that stressed the need for robust techniques to handle real-world variability without overfitting to artifacts. These hurdles spurred innovations in log preprocessing and model validation, laying the groundwork for process mining's evolution into a mature discipline.

Integration with Data Science

Process mining occupies a unique position within as a discipline that bridges process-oriented analysis with and processing techniques, effectively situating it between (BPM) and traditional . It leverages event log data to extract actionable insights into operational workflows, enabling data scientists to model, predict, and optimize processes in ways that complement broader analytical paradigms like predictive modeling and . This integration allows for the discovery of real-world process deviations and efficiencies that pure data mining might overlook, fostering a hybrid approach that enhances decision-making in complex environments. The evolution of process mining's ties to accelerated in the with the widespread adoption of , where techniques like predictive process monitoring emerged to forecast process outcomes using historical event data and algorithms. By the 2020s, deeper integration with has enabled advanced applications such as , where AI models identify irregularities in process flows to support proactive interventions in real-time operations. This progression has been bolstered by open standards, notably the PM4Py library released in , which provides Python-based tools for scalable process analysis and has facilitated broader experimentation and adoption in workflows. Key academic contributions to this integration stem from research groups at and , where pioneers like Wil van der Aalst have advanced foundational algorithms and their extensions into contexts since the early 2000s. Industry recognition has grown correspondingly, with reporting the process mining software market reached $1.1 billion in 2024, reflecting a 31.7% year-over-year growth (as of August 2025). As of 2025, regulatory influences like the EU's (GDPR) have driven innovations in privacy-preserving process mining, incorporating techniques such as microaggregation and to anonymize sensitive event data while maintaining analytical utility. Concurrently, hybrid models combining process mining with graph databases have gained traction, representing event logs as knowledge graphs to handle multi-entity interactions and enable more nuanced analyses of interconnected processes.

Core Concepts

Event Logs and Data Sources

Event logs serve as the foundational data structure in process mining, capturing the actual executions of business processes in the form of discrete events. Each event log consists of a collection of cases, where a case represents a specific instance of a process, such as an or a ticket, and is recorded as a trace—a sequence of events ordered chronologically. This structure enables the reconstruction of process behavior from , allowing analysts to derive insights into how processes unfold in practice. Core attributes of events within these logs include the activity name, which describes the performed step (e.g., "invoice payment"); a indicating when the activity occurred; a resource identifier, such as the user or involved; and optional attributes like costs or elements. Case-level attributes may also apply, such as the customer ID or total duration, while event attributes provide granular details tied to individual steps. The eXtensible Event Stream (XES) format, standardized as IEEE 1849, represents event logs in an XML-based structure to ensure across tools, supporting extensions for custom attributes and classifications. Event logs are typically extracted from various enterprise information systems that record transactional data. Common sources include (ERP) systems like or , (CRM) platforms such as , hospital information systems for healthcare processes, and audit trails from custom applications. These systems generate logs through database transactions, engines, or application interfaces, providing a digital footprint of process executions. The extraction process often involves (ETL) pipelines to convert raw data into a suitable event log format, addressing challenges like data incompleteness, noise from irrelevant entries, or inconsistencies in recording. For instance, relational database queries from an ERP system can be transformed into an XES-compatible log by mapping tables to , filtering out non-process-related records, and enriching timestamps or resources as needed. This preparation ensures the log's quality for subsequent analysis, though it remains the most resource-intensive step in process mining projects. Process mining presupposes certain qualities in event logs to yield reliable results, including the assumption that events represent atomic activities—indivisible steps without internal subprocesses—and that timestamps are complete and accurate for ordering within a trace. are also expected to be chronologically ordered per case, with each tied to exactly one process instance to avoid ambiguity in trace reconstruction. These event logs ultimately feed into the discovery of models, which represent the abstracted behavior observed in the data.

Process Models and Representations

Process models in process mining serve as graphical representations that capture the structure and behavior of business processes, primarily focusing on the control-flow perspective, which includes sequences, choices, parallel executions, and loops. Common notations include Petri nets, which use places, transitions, and tokens to model concurrency and synchronization; , which employs activities, events, and gateways for intuitive diagramming of control flows; and Event-driven Process Chains (EPCs), which connect events and functions with logical operators to depict process logic. These models are derived from event logs, enabling the visualization of actual process executions rather than assumed designs. To handle real-world complexities such as noisy or incomplete , specialized representations are employed. The produces dependency graphs that filter infrequent or unreliable connections based on dependency and frequency thresholds, yielding robust models from imperfect event logs. Fuzzy models, , address variants by allowing configurable levels, where edges are weighted by significance metrics (e.g., and probability) to simplify complex, unstructured into hierarchical views. Extensions incorporate additional dimensions, such as the Directly Follows Graph (DFG), a simple of activities and their immediate successors, often augmented with timestamps for temporal analysis. perspectives extend models to include organizational elements, like resource roles and patterns. Process models encompass multiple perspectives beyond control-flow. The organizational perspective examines resource involvement, identifying roles, bottlenecks, and delegation patterns to reveal staffing efficiencies. The social perspective maps interactions between resources, such as collaboration networks and work handovers, highlighting . The performance perspective leverages timestamps to annotate models with metrics like throughput times and waiting durations, pinpointing delays and inefficiencies. Model quality is assessed using evaluation metrics that balance behavioral fidelity. Fitness measures how well the model can replay the observed event log, quantifying the proportion of traces that conform without deadlocks or leftover tokens. Precision evaluates the model's restrictiveness, penalizing over-generalization by comparing allowed behaviors in the model against those in the log to ensure it does not permit excessive deviations. Generalization assesses the model's ability to handle unseen cases beyond the log, avoiding overfitting to specific observed behaviors. Simplicity evaluates the model's structural complexity, favoring concise representations that avoid unnecessary elements.

Techniques

Process Discovery

Process discovery is a core technique in process mining that aims to automatically construct a model representing the actual (as-is) of a solely from event logs, without requiring any a priori of the process . These models capture essential control-flow elements such as sequences, choices, loops, and concurrency, enabling analysts to visualize and understand how processes are executed in reality. The primary challenge lies in deriving a model that faithfully reproduces the observed while avoiding over- or under-generalization from potentially noisy or incomplete logs. The Alpha algorithm, introduced in 2004, represents one of the earliest and most foundational approaches to process discovery. It operates on structured event logs to synthesize Petri nets by constructing a "" matrix that encodes causal relations between activities. Specifically, it identifies directly-follows relations (where one activity immediately precedes another in traces) and always-follows relations (to detect concurrency via the absence of strict ordering), ensuring the resulting model guarantees for workflow nets. However, the algorithm assumes noise-free, complete logs and struggles with unstructured processes or short loops, limiting its applicability to ideal scenarios. To address the limitations of the Alpha algorithm, particularly its sensitivity to and incomplete data, the Heuristics Miner was developed in 2006. This algorithm employs flexible dependency measures, such as the heuristic dependency frequency based on observed frequencies adjusted by a dependency threshold, to infer causal relations robustly even in environments. It filters infrequent behaviors to produce a causal net—a graph-like representation—that can be converted to Petri nets or other models, prioritizing the most common process variants while tolerating deviations like rare loops or parallel executions. A key configurable parameter, often set to a 2:1 ratio of positive to negative dependencies, balances precision against simplicity by suppressing weak relations. Beyond these foundational methods, various algorithmic variants have emerged to handle more complex scenarios. The Fuzzy Miner, introduced in 2007, is designed for large, unstructured, and noisy event logs, producing simplified graph-based models that highlight significant relations through edge weights based on multi-perspective metrics like frequency and correlation, allowing interactive abstraction to avoid "spaghetti" models. The Inductive Miner, developed in 2014, uses a divide-and-conquer strategy on the directly-follows graph to split logs into subsets and recursively build block-structured models, guaranteeing soundness and block-structured outputs while handling noise through variants like the infrequent behavior filter. Genetic miners apply evolutionary optimization principles, where candidate process models (individuals) are iteratively evolved using genetic operators like crossover and mutation, guided by a fitness function that evaluates replayability against the event log. This approach excels in exploring large search spaces for high-fitness models but requires computational resources and parameter tuning. Region-based discovery techniques, inspired by Petri net synthesis theory, derive structured models by identifying "regions"—sets of states and transitions that separate behaviors in the log's transition system. These methods guarantee concurrency-free synthesis for certain classes of logs but can be computationally intensive due to the need to enumerate minimal regions. Evaluating discovered models relies on four key quality dimensions: fitness (the extent to which the model can replay all log traces without errors), precision (avoiding underfitting by ensuring the model does not permit extraneous behaviors unobserved in the log), (preventing overfitting to specific log instances for broader applicability), and simplicity (favoring parsimonious models per ). Algorithms like the Heuristics Miner inherently these dimensions—for instance, lowering the dependency threshold improves fitness and generalization at the cost of reduced precision and increased model complexity—necessitating user-guided parameter selection for balanced outcomes.

Conformance Checking

Conformance checking in process mining involves comparing observed process executions, captured in event logs, against a predefined to assess compliance and identify deviations. This technique quantifies how well the actual aligns with the normative model, enabling the detection of discrepancies such as skipped activities, extra insertions, or replays that violate the model's . By simulating or mapping log traces onto the model, conformance checking provides diagnostic insights into process adherence, supporting and . One foundational approach is token-based replay, which simulates the execution of event log traces on a , typically represented as a , by propagating tokens through transitions. During replay, counters track produced and consumed tokens to identify mismatches: missing tokens indicate unobserved model behavior, while remaining tokens highlight extra log activities not covered by the model. This method offers heuristics for handling incomplete fits, such as allowing leftover tokens in hidden places, and provides localized diagnostics for deviation points. Introduced in early conformance frameworks, token-based replay is computationally efficient for large logs but may underfit complex loops or concurrency. A more precise technique is alignments, which compute an optimal synchronous matching between a log trace and the reference model using edit-distance-like operations, such as synchronous moves (matching log and model events), log-only moves (insertions), and model-only moves (skips). These alignments employ cost-based search algorithms, often A* or genetic methods, to minimize deviation costs and generate a sequence of moves that explains the trace with the least alterations. Unlike token replay, alignments guarantee exact diagnostics by considering all possible paths, though they are more resource-intensive for noisy or long traces. This approach enhances root-cause analysis by highlighting specific deviation types and their frequencies. Key metrics for evaluating conformance include fitness, which measures the degree to which log traces can be replayed on the model, often expressed as a of successfully explained (e.g., 1.0 for perfect replayability). Precision assesses the model's behavioral appropriateness by quantifying how much unobserved the model permits, penalizing overly permissive structures that allow extraneous traces. Structural appropriateness, sometimes called or , evaluates adherence to token and rules in Petri nets, ensuring the model avoids under- or over-. These metrics are typically computed via replay or alignment results, balancing recall-like coverage (fitness) with specificity (precision). In auditing applications, conformance checking facilitates root-cause analysis of non-compliance by pinpointing deviations in financial or operational processes, such as unauthorized skips in approval workflows. For instance, auditors may apply a fitness threshold of 95% to certify process adherence, flagging cases below this for investigation, as demonstrated in evaluations using real event logs from enterprise systems. These insights can inform process enhancements, such as targeted controls to reduce detected deviations.

Process Enhancement

Process enhancement in process mining refers to techniques that repair, extend, or predict aspects of process models by leveraging insights from event logs and external data sources. This approach builds on discovered or existing models to address deviations identified through conformance checking, aiming to create more accurate and actionable representations of business processes. Key subtypes include repair, which fixes discrepancies between the model and observed behavior in event logs, and extension, which augments the model with additional attributes such as performance metrics or resource details derived from the logs. In repair techniques, algorithms align the process model with the event log by inserting or removing activities to minimize mismatches, often prioritizing impactful changes to improve model fitness. For instance, impact-driven repair methods evaluate potential edits based on their effect on overall conformance, ensuring the revised model better reflects real-world executions without overcomplicating the structure. Extension, on the other hand, enriches models by projecting onto existing representations, such as adding timestamps to reveal waiting times or frequencies. Performance mining, a core method within enhancement, focuses on detecting bottlenecks by analyzing waiting times, service durations, and throughput in event logs. Techniques classify bottlenecks using heuristics like queueing thresholds or dotted charts to visualize , enabling targeted interventions to reduce cycle times. Predictive monitoring extends this by employing models, such as long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks, to forecast next activities or remaining case durations from partial traces in event logs. These models achieve high accuracy in outcome prediction, supporting proactive process adjustments. Advanced enhancement includes organizational mining, which discovers roles and social networks from resource interactions in event logs, and decision mining, which extracts rules governing choice points in processes. Organizational mining constructs handover-of-work graphs to identify collaboration patterns, revealing informal structures that influence efficiency. Decision mining applies rule induction, such as decision trees, to infer conditions for routing decisions, like approval thresholds based on attributes in the log. Enhancement often integrates with simulation for what-if analysis, where enhanced models are simulated to evaluate hypothetical changes, such as resource reallocations, on process outcomes. Recent advancements in the 2020s incorporate AI hybrids, like reinforcement learning, to optimize process paths by treating event logs as environments for agent training, rewarding sequences that minimize costs or delays. These methods demonstrate improved optimization in dynamic settings, with reinforcement agents outperforming traditional heuristics in simulated scenarios.

Applications

In Business Process Management

Process mining is integral to Business Process Management (BPM), where it leverages event log data to discover, analyze, and enhance operational workflows, bridging the gap between designed processes and actual executions. In BPM, it supports end-to-end optimization by identifying deviations, bottlenecks, and inefficiencies, allowing organizations to align processes with strategic goals like and compliance. This data-driven approach complements traditional BPM methods by providing empirical evidence for process redesign, often integrating with conformance checking to adherence to predefined rules. In within BPM, process mining excels in cycle time analysis, enabling visibility into lead times and material flows to pinpoint delays such as supplier bottlenecks or transportation issues. By applying techniques like process performance analysis, organizations can quantify cycle times across the , facilitating targeted improvements in and inventory management. For instance, end-to-end network visibility use cases demonstrate how process mining reduces delivery times by highlighting temporal patterns in historical data, as explored in comprehensive reviews of SCM applications. In the financial sector, process mining enhances BPM compliance efforts, particularly in detection within transaction logs and digital processes. It analyzes event sequences to identify anomalous patterns indicative of , such as irregular verification steps, combining process discovery with classifiers like to achieve up to 80% accuracy in distinguishing fraudulent from legitimate cases. A real-world application in a Brazilian fintech's logs, involving over 61,000 traces, showed that time-based features and trace embeddings effectively flag deviations, supporting regulatory adherence and risk mitigation in BPM frameworks. Case studies in illustrate process mining's impact on BPM through order-to-cash (O2C) optimization. At , process discovery techniques reduced O2C cycle times by 20% and improved payment term compliance from 65% to 92%, protecting millions of invoices from errors. Similarly, applied process mining to eliminate 10 million manual activities in O2C, yielding $15 million in annual cost savings and increasing by 24%. In , such as call centers, process mining supports by modeling workflow patterns and resource utilization from event logs, enabling dynamic staffing adjustments to balance workloads and reduce wait times, as demonstrated in systematic reviews of resource behavior in BPM executions. Integration with BPM suites amplifies process mining's value in end-to-end management. ARIS, for example, connects its process mining module to the core platform via and project room configurations, allowing seamless transfer of discovered variants into BPMN models for conformance analysis and simulation. SAP Signavio's Process Intelligence similarly embeds process mining within its BPM suite, enabling collaborative analysis of execution data alongside modeling tools to drive continuous improvement. These integrations facilitate ROI realization, with metrics like ' $15 million savings from automation highlighting cost reductions of 10-20% in operational processes through targeted enhancements. Process mining aligns with BPM standards like BPMN 2.0, supporting import and export of models for consistent representation across tools. Platforms such as Process Mining generate BPMN 2.0 diagrams from event logs, ensuring compatibility for and enhancement in BPM cycles. This standardization promotes , allowing discovered processes to inform normative models while maintaining traceability in BPM governance.

In Other Domains

Process mining has found significant applications in healthcare, where it analyzes event logs from electronic health record (EHR) systems to map and optimize patient pathways, identifying inefficiencies such as delays in treatment or resource allocation. For instance, in emergency departments (EDs), process mining techniques have been used to discover actual patient flows from EHR data, revealing bottlenecks like prolonged triage or waiting for diagnostics, which contribute to overcrowding and extended wait times. By comparing discovered process models with normative guidelines, conformance checking can quantify deviations, enabling targeted interventions that reduce average ED wait times in simulated scenarios based on real logs. A comparative study demonstrated that process mining outperforms traditional simulation in accurately modeling ED processes for overcrowding mitigation, providing actionable insights for staffing adjustments and workflow redesign. During the (2020-2022), process mining supported modeling by extracting care pathways from hospital logs to trace patient movements and contact patterns, aiding in infection control and resource forecasting. Case studies applied process discovery to EHR data from COVID-19 wards, uncovering variants in treatment sequences and compliance with isolation protocols, which informed predictive enhancements for surge capacity planning. One analysis of medical data during the outbreak used conformance checking to evaluate guideline adherence in intensive care units, highlighting delays in allocation that impacted outcomes. These applications extended to broader response, where process enhancement techniques integrated with predicted pathway deviations under high caseloads, improving hospital preparedness. In the , process mining enhances efficiency by analyzing logs from administrative systems to detect deviations in permit workflows, such as unnecessary approvals or delays in document handling. For example, discovery algorithms applied to databases reveal non-conformant paths in licensing procedures, allowing for of redundant steps and reduction in times. A framework for solutions uses process mining to monitor service delivery, identifying compliance issues in regulatory workflows and supporting data-driven policy adjustments. In , process mining examines student enrollment workflows from learning management systems, mapping application reviews, registration, and advising sequences to pinpoint bottlenecks like manual verifications that delay . Conformance analysis on enrollment logs has helped institutions streamline processes, reducing administrative overhead and improving student satisfaction through targeted enhancements. Within IT and , process mining detects bottlenecks in pipelines, particularly continuous integration/continuous deployment () workflows, by mining logs from tools like Jenkins or to visualize deployment cycles and identify delays in testing or merging. Discovery techniques uncover hidden inefficiencies, such as prolonged build times due to , enabling optimizations that shorten release cycles in agile teams. In cybersecurity, process mining facilitates intrusion process discovery by analyzing system event logs to model attack sequences, distinguishing normal from anomalous behaviors through conformance checking against secure baselines. For instance, applying process mining to network intrusion detection systems has improved alert visualization and false positive reduction, enhancing threat response in industrial control environments. Emerging applications in 2025 leverage process mining for , particularly in , where enhanced models integrate metrics from logs to quantify emissions across and delivery processes. For example, process mining drives in enterprise for circular and sustainable performance. Process enhancement techniques predict environmental impacts by augmenting event data with sustainability indicators, supporting green optimizations like route rerouting to minimize CO2 output. Additionally, process mining on blockchain transaction logs discovers decentralized workflows, such as in smart contracts, revealing compliance patterns and fraud risks in platforms like . Recent studies show process mining enhances transparency in , aiding in technical setup for better visibility. with extensions detecting suspicious sequences for regulatory auditing.

Challenges and Future Directions

Current Limitations

One major challenge in process mining stems from data quality issues in event logs, which are often incomplete or noisy, leading to inaccurate process models and analyses. Noisy event logs, characterized by outliers, inconsistencies, or erroneous entries, can distort the discovered es, as algorithms may interpret noise as legitimate behavior, resulting in overly complex or unreliable models. For instance, missing attributes such as timestamps or resources are common, complicating the reconstruction of process sequences and timings, which hampers techniques like conformance checking and performance analysis. Privacy concerns further exacerbate data-related limitations, particularly when event logs contain sensitive personal information that must comply with regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the (CCPA). These laws mandate strict controls on , storage, and , yet process mining often requires access to detailed logs that include identifiers, potentially enabling re-identification of individuals and risking violations through failures or unauthorized disclosures. Balancing analytical depth with anonymization techniques remains difficult, as excessive suppression can degrade log quality and utility. On the technical front, scalability poses significant hurdles for process mining with , as many discovery algorithms exhibit exponential when handling large volumes of events or long traces. For example, state-based discovery methods, such as those relying on Petri nets or transition systems, can become intractable for logs with millions of events due to the explosion in state space exploration. While approximations like divide-and-conquer strategies mitigate this to some extent, they often sacrifice completeness or precision in real-world, high-volume scenarios. Additionally, the lack of beyond the XES format limits , as XES's single-case perspective struggles with object-centric or multi-perspective data, complicating exchanges between tools and extensions for unstructured or relational logs. Methodologically, process discovery techniques frequently suffer from , where models achieve high precision on the log but exhibit poor to unseen behaviors or variations in the actual process. This occurs because algorithms like the Alpha miner or genetic approaches prioritize fitting every observed trace, leading to spaghetti-like models that capture noise rather than the underlying process structure. In perspectives, biases arise from incomplete log coverage or skewed assignments, such as underrepresented roles or uneven distributions, which can propagate unfair insights into organizational analyses. Organizationally, adoption barriers include substantial skill gaps among practitioners, who often lack interdisciplinary expertise in , , and required to interpret and apply mining results effectively. This expertise deficit, coupled with resistance to change and inadequate , slows integration into business workflows. Ethical issues, such as in process enhancement, further complicate adoption; biases in logs or models can amplify discriminatory outcomes, for example, in or performance predictions, raising concerns about fairness and in . Recent advancements in process mining are increasingly incorporating and techniques to address limitations in traditional methods, particularly through hybrid models that enhance tasks like trace clustering and conformance checking. approaches, such as Path Complex Neural Networks (PCNN), leverage topological representations of event logs to capture higher-order sequential dependencies, improving accuracy in complex process data on benchmark datasets compared to standard recurrent neural networks. These hybrid models integrate graph-based neural architectures with classical process discovery algorithms, enabling more nuanced trace clustering that identifies subprocess variants in noisy or incomplete logs. For instance, PCNN uses message-passing mechanisms on path-complex structures (e.g., 0-paths for events and 2-paths for tri-event sequences) to optimize inductive learning for process activity prediction. Explainable AI (XAI) is emerging as a critical component for conformance checking, providing interpretable insights into deviations between event logs and normative models while maintaining the black-box advantages of deep learning. Systematic reviews highlight that AI-driven conformance techniques, including transformers and optimization algorithms, can handle multi-perspective processes and uncertainty more efficiently than alignment-based methods, though adoption remains limited to experimental settings as of 2023-2025. XAI methods, such as pattern-based explanations for deviation clusters, allow process owners to understand root causes of nonconformance, fostering trust in automated recommendations. Research agendas propose further integration of for alternative modeling paradigms, addressing computational scalability in large-scale event data. In handling big data and cloud environments, distributed processing frameworks like Apache Spark facilitate scalable event log analysis, enabling parallel computation for discovery and enhancement tasks on massive datasets exceeding traditional in-memory limits. Spark's integration supports iterative algorithms for process model induction, reducing execution times in distributed clusters for logs with millions of traces, as demonstrated in port operation monitoring systems. Complementing this, real-time streaming mining via Apache Kafka addresses dynamic event generation, treating Kafka topics as infinite event streams for continuous process discovery. Proposed architectures use standardized formats like JXES or OCEL JSON for serialization, supporting both offline and online mining with topic strategies (e.g., case-ID partitioning) to maintain low-latency extraction without data replication. This enables proactive conformance in environments with high-velocity data, such as supply chains. New frontiers in process mining extend to (IoT) applications, where sensor data streams are abstracted into discrete events for end-to-end process analysis in domains like and smart homes. A review of 36 studies from 2014 to 2022 identifies common pipelines involving preprocessing, , and event log generation from s (e.g., motion and temperature types), revealing use cases in process monitoring and but gaps in handling continuous streams and underrepresented sensor modalities like chemical detectors. These approaches transform raw IoT data into XES-compliant logs, enabling discovery of hidden workflows from physical interactions. Sustainability analytics represents another frontier, with analysis patterns bridging process mining meta-models and (LCA) to quantify environmental and social impacts. Patterns such as sustainability-relevant inputs/outputs and impact measurement integrate with mining tools to enrich event logs with resource metrics (e.g., ), supporting greener process redesign; evaluations show most existing tools lack such capabilities, proposing extensions like object-centric enrichment for comprehensive audits. Research directions emphasize privacy-preserving techniques, including frameworks that allow collaborative process mining across organizations without sharing raw event logs. These approaches train shared models on decentralized data, mitigating privacy risks in cross-silo scenarios while achieving comparable accuracy to centralized methods for prediction tasks. Additionally, integration with agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) is gaining traction for virtual process experimentation, combining event log insights with socio-technical simulations to forecast outcomes in dynamic systems; a screening an initial pool of 189 papers indicates a growing trend but calls for standardized hybrid pipelines. Post-2023 developments, including metaverse-like simulations, are underexplored but hold promise for immersive process visualization and what-if analysis.
