3 Mariska Netjes, Wil M.P. van der Aalst, Hajo A. Reijers - Analysis of resource-constrained processes with Colored Petri Nets CPN Workshop 2005 Introduction (1) Business Process Redesign: improving performance with process oriented redesign From literature best practices for business process improvement are collected by H.A. Reijers & S. Limam Mansar, 2005 1 It should be noted that many of the best practices lack adequate (quantitative) support 1. H.A. Reijers, S. Limam Mansar.

4 Mariska Netjes, Wil M.P. van der Aalst, Hajo A. Reijers - Analysis of resource-constrained processes with Colored Petri Nets CPN Workshop 2005 Introduction (2) We investigate two of these best practices Both best practices aim at the improvement of resource-constrained processes We built a CPN model to: –provide an easy way to model a resource-constrained process and –change it to evaluate best practices under different circumstances –with simulation

14 Mariska Netjes, Wil M.P. van der Aalst, Hajo A. Reijers - Analysis of resource-constrained processes with Colored Petri Nets CPN Workshop 2005 Specialist - generalist trade-off (1) Two mechanisms –specialist performs the work faster –generalist can perform more tasks Performance indicator = average throughput time Allocation method = random assignment Optimal ratio of specialists and generalists –too many alternatives to evaluate and compare –find a distinctive ratio –global search and further investigation

17 Mariska Netjes, Wil M.P. van der Aalst, Hajo A. Reijers - Analysis of resource-constrained processes with Colored Petri Nets CPN Workshop 2005 Specialist - generalist trade-off (4) Conclusions A ratio with mainly specialists and one or a few generalists will provide the best trade-off between the shorter service times of the specialist and the flexibility offered by the generalist. Preconditions for finding a distinctive ratio: –high resource utilization –proportional distribution of specialized resources –service times should not differ too much

19 Mariska Netjes, Wil M.P. van der Aalst, Hajo A. Reijers - Analysis of resource-constrained processes with Colored Petri Nets CPN Workshop 2005 Flexible assignment policy (2) Flexible assignment  random assignment Our expectations: initial process performs the same more specialists than generalists: almost equal selection, minor differences more generalists than specialists: more specialists allocated, lower queueing and service times for the process

22 Mariska Netjes, Wil M.P. van der Aalst, Hajo A. Reijers - Analysis of resource-constrained processes with Colored Petri Nets CPN Workshop 2005 Flexible assignment policy (5) Conclusions Flexible assignment can improve a process with both specialized and generic resources Preconditions to benefit from flexible assignment: –the process is not loaded too heavily –extra benefit when the specialists work faster than the generalists

Reijers - Analysis of resource-constrained processes with Colored Petri Nets CPN Workshop 2005 Conclusions The developed CPN model was useful and easy to change Specialist-generalist trade-off: the best ratio is one with mainly specialists and one or a few generalists Flexible assignment: improvement, especially when more generalists than specialists are availabe Same mechanisms, but opposite working
