Cep Complex Event Processing for Business Process

Cep Complex Event Processing for Business Process

In 2007 ISIS Papyrus Software announced and shipped a new feature of its Papyrus Process and Content Platform called the UTA User-Trained Agent. This is a no-charge option that adds to its powerful business process and rule functions. What does it offer? The UTA is a machine learning component for CEP. It can be activitated in the scope of a process queue and monitores the tasks in the queue for complex repeating events in real-time. Each task references a large and changing number of elements (defined as objects in the Papyrus WebRepository) making the definition of process rules very time consuming. The UTA however simply monitores its state space for user activity (or other) events and discovers recurring data patterns in the process scope. User performing activity on a process create events that trigger the UTA for analysis. If a pattern is found to be repetitive the UTA will query the user if that is a valid pattern and then recommend this activity as next process step in the future. Actions that do not require user intervention can be set to execute in the background, for example the initiation of a particular process given the reception of a certain data message in relation to a particular data pattern in a business case. Properly authorized supervisors can invalidate training and trigger patterns. Business rules and new elements can be added to the business process at any time without invalidating the training. The UTA will continue to learn from user activity and thus processes are kept up-to-date without the need for process monitoring. Thresholds can be set for SLAs so that tasks that do not trigger events are routed to supervisors. The following supervisor activity is once more transductive training input to the UTA.

that system.

ISO 18000 is an Occupational Health and Safety standard. It is not the same as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States, but it is similar. Many companies are requesting this registration as a preventative. They use it to find and eliminate problems before OSHA needs to come in. It costs time and money if a Previously I discussed the basics of ISO certification and what it meant. Here are some additional certifications that are specific to specialty industries.

What is the difference between Six Sigma Green Belt and Six Sigma Black Belt ?

What is the difference between Six Sigma Green Belt and Six Sigma Black Belt ?

White Belts are at the bottom ladder of Six Sigma, which means that they go through a high level overview on Six Sigma with the primary objective of familiarizing them with terminology related to Six Sigma (mean, standard deviation etc.).Mostly all the employees in the company are trained at the White Belt level. White Belts may help Green Belts and black belts in data collection.

Next level is Green Belts who are trained in Six Sigma at a much more detailed level. Their training may range from a few days up to few weeks. They are trained in process improvement techniques including the Six Sigma DMAIC road map for improving results. Green Belts usually lead smaller projects within their business unit or support portions of larger projects led by a more experienced Black Belt. Green Belts usually undertake process improvements in their specific functional areas. Green Belts are usually not exposed to advanced Six Sigma concepts, so they are not equipped to solve really tough problems.

What is Six Sigma?

What is Six Sigma?

There are two primary methodologies in Six Sigma: DMAIC and DFSS.

Following are some of the salient features of Six Sigma methodology:

  • Six Sigma is a data driven approach – Six Sigma provides us with information on which and what type of data should be collected, how it should be collected and how it should be analyzed.
  • Six Sigma is a process focused methodology- Everything that is done at the workplace has a process behind it. For bringing improvements it is always good to study the underlying process along with the results, especially if we are looking for a long lasting improvement and not a temporary quick-fix solution
  • Six Sigma provides a structured step by step roadmap – If a business problem is being resolved by a cross functional team over a period of time, it pays to utilize a structured methodology (like Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) with review stages.
  • Six Sigma uses non common-sense approaches – Example – To improve customer satisfaction index by 25% in 4 months time, you would need not one but a series of non-common sense approaches which Six Sigma provides.
  • Six Sigma integrates the best of tried and tested management methodologies over the years – Six Sigma has weaved various time tested management techniques in one roadmap. Also, Six Sigma is not rigid. It is an evolving methodology. New tools are being added to the Six Sigma toolkit by innovative practitioners.
  • Six Sigma improvement projects are mostly validated by financial benefits or by impact on a KPI (Key Performance Indicator)
  • Six Sigma works on improvements on a project by project basis by people trained as improvement experts (called Green Belts and Black Belts) – Improvements can be brought on a project by project basis and by no other way. Unless improvement areas are converted into projects, with assigned responsibilities and authorities to correctly trained people, the problems remain what they are.
