ABSTRACT
Currently businesses are adapting their business processes to the ever-changing market conditions. This involves a continuous monitoring and improvement of business processes. Process Mining is a useful approach to automated reconstruction of business process models from event logs collected from a company's information systems, and to detecting deviations from the assumed process model and monitoring of process KPIs. There is a growing trend towards implementing Process Mining tools in logistics and supply chain management. This paper presents key concepts of Process Mining. The methods are illustrated with a practical example of a logistical process analysis. We consider three main types of Process Mining. Finally, an overview of research and business cases for Process Mining in logistics and
supply chain management are provided.
