Abstract

In the presentation of process mining, some organisational options for improving process management have already been discussed. In this chapter, these are supplemented by further organisational measures and the adjustment of the production program to the results of product and process mining. Much text is dedicated to the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) with examples.

If insights arise that lead to fundamental changes in organisation or application systems, then a new innovation cycle begins according to Fig. 1.9 of the composable enterprise.

Statements that are very specific or refer to specific systems are marked in italics. Readers who are more interested in an overview can skip these parts without losing the content guide.

The following figure establishes the connection to the lifecycle in Fig. 1.9.
