Process Mining for Robotic Process Automation

Choose which processes to automate

Choosing which processes to automate is difficult, especially if RPA could benefit multiple departments. Minit Process Mining can provide a thorough audit of activities done on a daily basis to identify potential candidates.

Use Minit to map processes and determine areas which are repetitive, rules-based high volume, and do not require human judgment, and identify which parts of the process are suitable for automation.

Optimize to avoid automating a faulty process

Automating an inefficient or poorly controlled process will only amplify problems in it. The consistency in the application of RPA means that if you get it wrong errors become systemic and widespread across that business process and data set.

Our Process Mining software will highlight exceptions, unusual transactions, bottlenecks, deviations, and potential risks in the process, to ensure automated activities are not incomplete or incorrect. Optimizing the process with even small, simple changes usually results in the robot doing a more significant part of the process.

Monitor to ensure it’s working as intended

Despite rigorous testing before deployment, it is only by seeing the robot live in processing that you uncover the unknowns in the production environment. Review the processing and decisions made by the robot, early in deployment and make corrections of rules and logic as necessary.

Analyze event logs generated by the robots with Minit to visualize transactions, identify process inefficiencies, bottlenecks, control and data quality issues and identify to what extent transactions follow their prescribed paths versus the actual paths.
