Discover why simulation may not belong in your process mining tools. Join the discussion with our host as we explore the implications and effectiveness of simulation in process management.
A new podcast episode of What’s Your Baseline? Shorts was published on Jul 09, 2025 with the original title:
Second Chance: Simulation — What’s Your Baseline? Shorts 3
Overview:
This episode discusses the role of simulation in process mining tools, arguing against its inclusion. The host suggests that simulation outcomes are best achieved within a dedicated design platform rather than being confined to process mining data.
Core content:
- The episode emphasizes that simulation should not be embedded in process mining tools, as it limits analysis to existing data.
- The discussion highlights essential components needed for effective simulation, including diverse data inputs and modeling techniques.
- Listeners are presented with the various outcomes that can be derived from simulations and how they can inform decision-making.
- Different types of simulations and their relevance in the context of business process management are explored.
Learnings:
- Understand why integrating simulation with process mining tools may hinder broader analytical capabilities and insights.
- Gain knowledge on the necessary ingredients for conducting successful simulations within organizational processes.
- Explore the potential benefits and implications of outcomes derived from simulations on process improvement.
- Identify different simulation types and learn how they can be effectively utilized in process design and analysis.
