Abstract
A multivariate business process modeling or management (BPM) optimization system and method for optimizing a BPM system includes a logic layer to control operation of the BPM system, a utility layer to implement a randomized experimental treatment based on a hypothesis, and a persistence layer to collect data from application of the randomized experimental treatment to the BPM system. The multivariate BPM optimization system and method optimizes the BPM system by computerized testing of the hypothesis and generation of results to add, remove or modify a step or modify a point in a flow of the BPM system based on the data collected from application of the randomized experimental treatment.
Claims20
A multivariate business process modeling or management (BPM) optimization system to optimize a BPM system, the BPM optimization system comprising:
- a logic layer to control operation of the BPM system;
- a utility layer including software executed by a computer system to implement a randomized experimental treatment based on a hypothesis;
- and
- a persistence layer to collect data from application of the randomized experimental treatment to the BPM system,
- wherein the multivariate BPM optimization system optimizes the BPM system by computerized testing of the hypothesis and generation of results to add, remove or modify a step or modify a point in a flow of the BPM system based on the data collected from application of the randomized experimental treatment.
A method for optimizing a business process modeling or management (BPM) system, the method comprising:
- identifying a location in the BPM system to test;
- defining a randomized experimental treatment based on a hypothesis for the identified location, and applying the randomized experimental treatment to the BPM system;
- optimizing the BPM system by computerized testing of the hypothesis and generating results;
- and
- adding, removing or modifying a step or modifying a point in a flow of the BPM system based on data collected from application of the randomized experimental treatment.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a computer executable program to optimize a business process modeling or management (BPM) system, the computer executable program when executed causes a computer system to:
- identify a location in the BPM system to test;
- define a randomized experimental treatment based on a hypothesis for the identified location, and apply the randomized experimental treatment to the BPM system;
- optimize the BPM system by testing the hypothesis and generating results;
- and
- add, remove or modify a step or modify a point in a flow of the BPM system based on data collected from application of the randomized experimental treatment.
