Early validation of potential improvements
Once you’ve identified the activities that you wish to automate, you can leverage the process simulation capability of IBM Process Mining to simulate the change and measure the potential cost or time savings before you proceed with the automation.
In IBM Process Mining, switch to the Process Mining perspective and select the BPMN tab. Click on the Simulation button and provide a meaningful name for your simulation scenario.
Now, you can configure the simulation to best reflect what you believe you will automate. Some recommendations are as follows:
- Increase the number of instances.
- For each activity that you intend to automate, reduce the staff availability. Then, switch to the RPA tab and increase the robotic quote and the number of robots.
When you’re ready, click Run Simulation. When it completes, the Process Details view will show the difference between your original model and your simulated one:
