How long will it take for your worst team to match the performance of your best team?
On June 28th we will explain how to tackle this and other problems with TimeXtender, a leading platform to manage your data estate that works 10 times faster than other solutions.
For process mining and more…
You can choose between two different times:
Back to the case: given that there is a team that consistently outperforms the rest in the execution of a process (in terms of time, cost, or any other parameter) and that our goal is to improve the process as a whole, the easiest way to prove that it is possible is to benchmark against the best.
We can then use process mining, and introduce some simulation elements of the type: you are “the worst” but at the rate you are improving your KPIs you will catch up with “the best” in…? Weeks, months… to promote and monitor improvement.
This type of improvement does not even require complicated re-engineering or changes: the reason for the difference in performance can lie in controllable factors and the whole improvement and monitoring apparatus can be set up directly from the data.
Breaking down silos: the end-to-end observation of a problem like the one we have just seen might involve data spread over several systems, and typically especially the attributes we need to be able to provide this benchmark in real time.
For example, the people assigned to the processes are in two different databases and the events that translate to each executed activity, together with the information of times and repetition of steps are in another one.
Composing a file for processing by process mining has often been a matter of developing ETLs or ad hoc connectors, and this often discourages the launching of any initiative.
With solutions like TimeXtender combined with Inverbis, not only do we save time, but we liberate the knowledge contained in data that otherwise could not be used in this way.
Our friend and British partner, Bryan Oak, from Kompozable, calls this “jailbreaking” of the data. What a great definition. The data from your ERP, your CRM, your MES… whatever layers of systems you have.
By the way, besides learning about all this on-line in our webinar on June 28th you can also download this paper by Bryan explaining why you need to jailbreak your data. And how.
See you there!
