Abstract

Measuring performance is a precondition for analyzing and subsequently improving business processes. However, selecting the “right” criteria for measurements remains a difficult and highly debated topic, both in theory and practice. The objective of this chapter is to provide an overview how adequate measures can be identified and implemented. For this purpose, the main terms will be defined and the procedure of process measurement will be presented. This includes a number of approaches for measuring process performance. In more detail, two methodologies, Data Envelopment Analysis and Process Mining, to measure and calculate indicators for process performance are discussed. As an example, Process Mining is applied to real case data to demonstrate its possibilities.
