Process Mining in Manufacturing: A Literature Review

Year 2022, Volume: 5 Issue: 3, 341 - 355, 31.12.2022

Abstract

Process mining in manufacturing is a newly expanding field of research in the application of data mining and machine learning techniques and the focus of business processes. Although it is an exciting subject of the recent past and business processes, sufficient research has not been done. Decision support systems such as enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, and management information systems store the most valuable resource data of process details and event logs. In the advanced information systems of tomorrow, the process management, analysis, and modelling functions of modern enterprises will take their place as a necessity. As a requirement, the fundamental purpose of process mining in production is to refine data from event logs, automatically create process models, compare models with event logs, and improve and make development continuous. Our work is to contribute to application and research studies by drawing attention to process mining in the context of production. It is based on the literature review and primary stages of business process mining publications in the last decade with a production focus. An overview is discussed as a roadmap for future research with meaningful results.
