Process mining is a method for identifying, analyzing and improving business processes using data. The approach is already established in certain industries such as online commerce, but not yet in industrial processes. The reasons: The processes very rarely have large amounts of data (Big Data), which is a prerequisite for process mining methods, and there is a lack of the appropriate corporate structures and the methods to implement such technology.

The goal of the 'BPM-I4.0' project is the holistic development, implementation and evaluation of process mining methods for the analysis and prescriptive control of industrial core processes. To this end, innovative procedures, concepts, algorithms and digital tools will be prototypically designed, implemented, evaluated, processed and generalized in the product creation and order fulfillment processes of participating companies. The results achieved will enable companies to significantly improve the quality of their core processes based on the analysis of their process data and to proactively control process execution in order to maintain and expand their competitiveness in the medium and long term.
