Problems solved by technology

This method is simple and effective, and retains certain semantics, but the operations of the same person or the same application are very different, and the semantics of the entire business cannot be preserved.
The other is based on statistics, which only displays nodes whose occurrence times exceed a certain value, so that the complexity of the flow chart can be controlled arbitrarily, but some key nodes may be hidden due to insufficient frequency, which affects the understanding of business processes

Embodiment 1

[0063] The method for simplifying the flow chart provided by this embodiment, and its application process specifically involves the following steps:

[0064]1. Obtain the event log file in CSV format from the business system. This business system can be an ERP, CRM system, or data directly exported from a background database, which is obtained after preprocessing, format conversion, and semantic alignment. The format may be in various ways such as CSV and XES, and in this embodiment, the format is CSV. In the CSV file, each record contains three key fields timestamp, case number, business step, and multiple business attribute fields, for example, . Use the "business step" field in each record to represent the current record, and use this field as a node label in the flowchart. There are often many business steps in a business process, of which only a few steps are more important and are key nodes. For example, in the "Payables" process, "Create Order" is a key node. Some op...

Embodiment 2

[0075] This embodiment provides an apparatus for simplifying the flow chart, including:

[0076] The node obtaining unit obtains the nodes extracted in advance from the process log to be simplified;

[0077] The prediction unit sends each node into the pre-trained classifier for prediction, and obtains the prediction result;

[0078] The judgment unit judges whether it is a key node according to the prediction result, and if so, keeps it in the process log, and saves the previous non-critical node as a child node of the node; if not, marks it as a non-critical node;

[0079] The flow chart obtaining unit is used for applying a flow mining algorithm to the simplified flow log to obtain a simplified flow chart.

Embodiment 3

[0081] This embodiment provides an apparatus with simplified flowchart, including a processor and a storage medium;

[0082] the storage medium is used for storing instructions;

[0083] The processor is configured to operate in accordance with the instructions to perform the steps of the method according to any of Embodiment 1.

Abstract

The invention discloses a flow chart simplification method and device and a storage medium, and belongs to the technical field of flow mining. The method comprises the steps that nodes extracted from a to-be-simplified flow log in advance are acquired; sending each node into a pre-trained classifier for prediction, and obtaining a prediction result; judging whether the node is a key node or not according to a prediction result, if so, retaining the node in a process log, and storing the previous non-key node as a sub-node of the node; if not, marking the node as a non-key node; applying a flow mining algorithm to the simplified flow log to obtain a simplified flow chart; according to the method, nodes in the flow chart can be effectively reduced, meanwhile, original semantics are reserved, and a good practical application effect is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method, a device and a storage medium for simplifying a flow chart, and belongs to the technical field of flow mining. Background technique [0002] The goal of process mining is to restore business flow charts from log files, so that enterprises can understand the actual execution status of business processes and diagnose problems during business execution. [0003] In actual use, a business often contains dozens or hundreds of steps, plus various variants, resulting in a flow chart containing a large number of nodes, which is very complex, difficult to understand, and inconvenient to see the full picture of the business process. [0004] as attached figure 2 As shown, the right side is the original flow chart, which has many nodes and is not easy to understand. There may be hundreds of nodes in actual use, which is more difficult to understand. On the left is the simplified flow chart, which is very simple and easy to und...
