Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MITIGATING WORKFLOW FAILURES IN A FULFILMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to network performance management systems. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to mitigating workflow failures in a fulfilment management system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The following description of the related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section is used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of the prior art.

[0003] Wireless communication technology has rapidly evolved over the past few decades, with each generation bringing significant improvements and advancements. The first generation of wireless communication technology was based on analog technology and offered only voice services. However, with the advent of the second-generation (2G) technology, digital communication and data services became possible, and text messaging was introduced. The third- generation (3G) technology marked the introduction of high-speed internet access, mobile video calling, and location-based services. The fourth-generation (4G) technology revolutionized wireless communication with faster data speeds, better network coverage, and improved security. Currently, the fifth-generation (5G) technology is being deployed, promising even faster data speeds, low latency, and the ability to connect multiple devices simultaneously. With each generation, wireless communication technology has become more advanced, sophisticated, and capable of delivering more services to its users.

[0004] Workflow failures in a 5G network can be detrimental and disrupt the seamless operation of the network. One common cause of such failures is incorrect request, due to fulfillment management services (FMS) provisioning or some issue related to network node. In a complex 5G network environment, various stakeholders interact to request and provision network resources and services. If there are errors in the requests made, such as incorrect resource requirements orincompatible service configurations, it can lead to inefficient allocation of resources and subsequent workflow failures. Likewise, if the fulfillment management services responsible for provisioning and delivering the requested resources are not properly aligned with the network's capabilities and operational constraints, it can result in inefficiencies, delays, and even service outages.

[0005] However, there are certain challenges with existing solutions as implementing regular monitoring and performance analysis of the workflow leads to user interference may lead to delay in identifying bottlenecks or anomalies, hence defeating the purpose of allowing for timely corrective actions. Thereby, it is imperative to nullify the user interference in failure case handling by fulfilment management system. Further, over the period of time a few solutions have been developed to improve the performance of communication devices and to create automated systems and intelligent algorithms for fulfillment management that can minimize human errors and improve the efficiency of resource allocation and service provisioning.

[0006] Thus, there exists an imperative need in the art to ensure accurate and precise communication between stakeholders, meticulous planning and provisioning of network resources, and effective management of fulfillment services to prevent such workflow failures and ensure the smooth operation of a 5G network, which the present disclosure aims to address.

[0400] examines workflow failures at network nodes such as network node 1 (NN1)

[0401] , network node 2 (NN2)

[0402] , network node 3 (NN3)

[0403] and network node 4 (NN4)

[0404] . These network nodes are individual points or devices within the network where data processing and communication occur. Each node can have different roles or functions within the network infrastructure. Now, at network node 2, a workflow failure is identified. The system detects a specific workflow failure occurring at network node 2 (NN2)

[0402] . This involves recognizing that a problem exists at NN2

[0402] , which requires intervention. The system uses advanced machine learning models that have been trained on historical data to address and correct the workflow failure. The Trained Learning Models are algorithms that can predict and implement solutions based on patterns and data they have learned from past experiences. The rectification process of correcting the identified issue at NN2

[0402] using the learning models. This could involve rerouting data, adjusting configurations, or applying specific fixes that the models suggest.After rectifying the issue, the system collects and stores various data metrics related to the workflow failure and its rectification. These data metrics include performance indicators, error rates, recovery times, and other relevant data. Further, a storage system where the collected data metrics are saved and comprising success status and failure status for each network node for future reference. These records indicate whether each network node's operations were successful or if they encountered failures. This data is stored for future reference to help improve the system's performance and prevent similar issues.

[0069] For example: Consider a telecommunications network with several nodes responsible for routing calls, managing data traffic, and ensuring connectivity. The flow diagram

[0400] depicts constant monitoring of these nodes. One day, network node 2 (NN2) encounters a problem where it cannot process data correctly, leading to a workflow failure. The system identifies this issue and uses its machine learning models, which have been trained on past data, to determine the best way to fix the problem. The system implements the recommended solution, restoring normal operation at NN2. After resolving the issue, the system stores detailed metrics about the failure and the rectification process in a data repository. This includes data about what went wrong and how it was fixed, allowing the network to learn from this incident and improve its future performance.

[0070] The present disclosure further discloses a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions for mitigating workflow failures in a fulfilment management system, the instructions include executable code which, when executed by a one or more units of a system, causes: an identification unit

[0202] of the system to identify one or more workflow failures at one or more network nodes, wherein the one or more workflow failures arise due to any or a combination of an issue in fulfilment management service provisioning, an incorrect request reception, or network node-related issue; an analysis unit

[0204] of the system to analyse the identified one or more workflow failures; an execution unit

[0206] to rectify and execute the analysed one or more workflow failures using a trained learning model; and a storage unit

[0208] of the system to store, data associated with the rectified one or more workflow failures.

[0071] As is evident from the above, the present disclosure provides a technically advanced solution for mitigating workflow failures in a fulfilment management system. The present disclosure nullifies human intervention and automates the process using trained learning models. Also, the present disclosure improves significantly on better optimisation of network resources by addressing the workflow failure in a timely manner.
