Causal process mining · End-to-end

End-to-End Processes – from the first step to the last euro

Six examples, analyzed end to end: how processes really run, where they lose time and money and what causes are behind it – from order processing, procurement and manufacturing to the surgical patient pathway in hospitals and insurance premium tax. The same analysis works for any other process that leaves traces in your systems.

What is an end-to-end process?

An end-to-end process covers every step from the triggering event to the result that matters to customers or the company – across departments and systems. Order-to-cash starts with the customer order and ends with the incoming payment; purchase-to-pay runs from the requirement to the paid invoice. Only the continuous view shows where a delay arises and where it takes effect.

Plan-to-Produce

No demo case of their own, but just as analysable: for these widely used end-to-end processes we describe the flow, business objects, KPIs and typical problems – and which questions Noreja answers on them.

Minerva Agent Library

Your processes, analyzed by specialized agents

Cycle times, waiting times, structural deviations, working capital or compliance: for every question about your processes there is an agent that knows the right KPIs.
