Business process improvement with the AB-BPM methodology

作者:

Highlights:

• AB-BPM methodology facilitates better validation of process improvement hypotheses.

• Instance router dynamically chooses the process version with the best performance.

• Transition Simulation Tree helps in simulating new versions using data of old version.

• Simulation is fast, less reliable, risk free; AB Test is slower, reliable, more risky.

• Evaluation with synthetic and real world dataset shows the efficacy of our approach.
