Bauer describes it as an X-ray for an organisation ’ s data , allowing leaders to understand the full journey of the goods they sell – often for the first time – and spot inefficiencies along the way .
“ Extracting this data and combining it with sustainability data is the first step to making effective emissions reductions across your organisation ,” she says .
“ When it comes to transporting goods , for example , the data from process mining means lead times can be compressed and bottlenecks can be voided , causing the number of hours spent and emissions to drop .”
Even more powerful is object-centric process-mining ( OCPM ), a new , threedimensional approach offering an overview of different systems to drive sustainability .
Where traditional process mining focuses on individual processes ,
OCPM helps leaders create a complete ‘ digital twin ’, capturing everything from when a customer places an order to when shipments are dispatched – covering all interlocking systems . It also captures interactions between order management , procurement , supply chain and production .
“ By implementing such tools ,” Bauer adds , “ business leaders can fully understand the real-life objects and events that make up their organisation , identify where their carbon footprint lies , and take steps to boost sustainability across the entire supply chain .”
