The attached demonstration includes some of the treasures which can be revealed by those who record their production data, and instructions for taking a self test-drive with Disco, a process mining tool of Fluxicon.

1. Discovering a Production Process
in Priority ERP

2. The Contents
 A Quick overview of production management in Priority ERP
 Demonstration of some process discovery deliverables
 Instructions for performing a self-discovery of the production process

3. The Production Floor
 Departments
 Workers
 Work Cells
 Operations
 Machines
 Manual Work

4. The Planned Production Process

5. The Routing as Defined in Priority

6. Production Reporting Screen in Priority

7. Discovering the Actual Production Process
With
Disco
Example Deliverables

8. Some Possible Deliverables
 A process map of the executed production processes
 Conformance Checking
► Deviations from routings
 Performance Analysis
► Machines
► Operators
► Idle times
► Bottlenecks
 Focused analysis of:
► Breakdowns
► Rework
► Rejected parts
 Comparison of workers performance

9. The data Source
 The production data exported from Priority
The mandatory data

10. The Data in Disco
 The Production data are configured and imported to Disco for process discovery

11. Operations
Paths taken by work orders
The Actual Process Flow
Repeated Operation
Frequencies
Number of work orders
starting the process
Start point
End point

12. Analysis of Operations

13. Revealing Deviations from Routing
 For some work orders, the process starts and ends with different operations then defined in
the routing (circled in red)
Start point
End point

14. Locating the Slow Work Orders
 The Performance filter is used to retrieve slow work orders by a selected duration

15. The Slow Process Flow
The mean waiting time
between operations
The mean duration of operations

16. Animation of the Slow Process
 The actual process is replayed based on the production data
 To view the animation press here.

Operation TimeAn Indication of work loads

17. Statistics About Products in the Slow Work Orders

18. Analysis of Work Cells

19. The Process Flow Among the Work Cells

20. Locating the Longest Idle Times
 The Performance filter is used to retrieve the work cells with the longest idle times between
operations

21. Idle Times in the Process
The numbers represent the maximal
waiting time between work cells

22. Analysis of Breakdowns

23. Statistics About Breakdown Reasons

24. Analysis by a Selected Breakdown Reason

25. The Impact of a Breakdown on a Selected Part
 The operation with the ellipse was reported as a breakdown
 The red arrow points at a delay in the process (compared to the one indicated by the green
arrow)

26. A Do-It-Yourself
Process Discovery

27. Installing Disco
 Download and install Disco from here (it’s free & easy!)

28. Downloading a Demo Project
 Download and save a demo project with production data from here

29. Loading the Demo Project to Disco
1. Run Disco, and click on the Open File button
2. In the Windows explorer that opens, select the saved project file:
Discovery-of-a-Production-Process.dsc

30. The Project View in Disco
 For each data set in the list on the left, look in the Notes for instructions.
