ERP Logs and Its Use for Process Mining Student Learning Purposes

This paper deals with the possibility of using ERP logs for Process mining student learning purposes. The basic idea is that event logs from ERP systems are essential for Process Mining, as they provide the data necessary to gain insights into business processes. The availability of data in the form of event logs is crucial for the application of Process Mining techniques, enabling the discovery and analysis of business processes. Process Mining has been applied to manufacturing or logistic processes, with a focus on extraction, correlation, and abstraction of event data. Process Mining techniques offer valuable opportunities for organizations to analyze, monitor, and improve their real processes. However, challenges exist in extracting event logs from ERP systems, as the concept of business activity may be missing, making it difficult to use different tools on the same dataset. As part of this contribution, literature research in the given area will be carried out first and then a case study from the teaching will be presented.
