Abstract

Measuring key performance indicators, such as queue lengths and waiting times, using event logs serve for improvement of resource-driven business processes. However, existing techniques assume the availability of complete life cycle information, including the time a case was scheduled for execution (aka arrival times). Yet, in practice, such information may be missing for a large portion of the recorded cases. In this paper, we propose a methodology to address missing life-cycle data by incorporating predicted information in business processes performance analysis. Our approach builds upon techniques from queueing theory and leverages supervised learning to accurately predict performance indicators based on an event log with missing data. Our experimental results using both synthetic and real-world data demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
