5 Processs Mining gives objective insight into a firm s operational processes based on historic events recorded in information systems. 4

6 The invoice process describes how invoices are processed by Rabobank. Invoices are related to sponsoring, presents, furniture, consulting etc. Invoice process Financial Services Amount of invoices invoices/year Suppliers Payments 2.5 billion euro/year FTE Registration 40 Invoice handling costs 9,- Happy Flow described by the Manager 5

7 Rabobank tracks the performance of their process with several KPI s, but what is really happening inside their process is experienced as a black box. Project objectives Rabobank: 1. Insight in the process What is really happening with the invoices? How is effort spent? 2. Increase efficiency Decrease cost price of an invoice by spending less time for same or better results. 3. Increase effectiveness Identify waste in the process and reduce mistakes by gaining knowledge about the reason why certain invoices need rework. 4. Risk management Check if there are employees that have too much authorization. 6

8 The discovered process structure is recognizable considering the happy flow, but also shows interesting deviations. Register (CA) Check Details (FC) 60% Check Goods (MC) Approve (BH) 7

13 KPI s that are designed to accomplish on-time payment are not giving the desired result since they do not take extra activities into account. Centrale Administratie (3 days) Factuur- Controleur (5 days) Materieel- Controleur (2 days) Budget- Houder (8 days) 17 tasks, 4 weeks 7 tasks, 2 weeks CA 1d FC 1d MC 2d CA 1d FC 5d BH 1d FC 1d BH 4d FC 1d CA 1d CA 1d CA 1d FC 1d MC 1d CA 2d CA 2d FC 1d CA 1d FC 1d BH 8d BH 4d FC 1d BH 1d FC 3d

14 The amount of rework required (mistakes) differentiates between employees which gives room for improvement (e.g. training).

15 The organization bares risk since there are employees that have too much authorization considering Rabobank s own segregation rules. 1 employee 3 employees 72 employees 42 employees 356 employees 1082 employees 514 employees
