Cambridge Centre for Applied Process Mining for Management
Course introduction
Process Mining has revolutionized the way we analyze and optimize processes in business. Performance Problems traditionally caused long-winded manual investigations into the underlying business process looking at interview data, observations or deciphering process documentations. All of these traditional methods are time and cost consuming and only provide fractional insights. Process Mining uses a data-science approach to process science making analyses more objective, detailed and faster to obtain.
This course is designed to provide an applied introduction to Process Mining, its industry use cases and the theoretical concepts behind it. The course furthermore delivers advanced software skills in the Celonis Execution Management Software.
Programme
The course is structured into a 5-week outline comprising online teaching, self-study consisting of software training and academic training, group work and discussion mentored by an academic supervisor. A kick-off and final event together with Celonis will round off the course. The three live online sessions will be recorded for participants with existing commitments who are unable to attend.
The following focus topics will be covered within the five weeks:
Week 1: Introduction to Process Mining
- Official Kick-Off Event with guest speaker from Celonis
- Online Learning & Self-Study on fundamental concepts behind Process Mining
Week 2: Versatile Applications of Process Mining
- Mentored Group Research on different application fields
- Online Learning & Self-Study on Process Mining in Finance, Healthcare, Marketing Analytics and Supply Chain
Week 3: Process Mining & Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
- Online Learning & Self-Study on the intersection of Process Mining & RPA
- Introduction of Business Case
Week 4: Optimizing Business Value with Process Mining
- Work on Business Case under mentorship of academic supervisor
- Online Learning & Self-Study on calculating the business value behind process optimization
Week 5: From Analytics to Operations
- Hand in Business Case
- Final Workshop with Celonis covering recent developments in the field
- Online Learning & Self-Study on Enhancement, Predictive Process Mining and Organisational Mining

Academic supervision with Edward Elson Kosasih
An academic supervisor will be guiding participants through the course, supporting learning and on hand to answer any queries.
For this course, the academic supervisor will be Edward Elson Kosasih, PhD researcher at the Cambridge Centre for Data-Driven Discovery and Institute for Manufacturing, University of Cambridge.
His research focuses on using machine learning and graph theory to model supply chain risks. He’s also involved in the Supply Chain Digital Twin project, a Pitch-in collaboration between Cambridge and Oxford. Before pursuing his doctoral degree, Edward worked as a data scientist in Keysight Technologies, an S&P 500 electronics test and measurement equipment and software design company. He has built and deployed machine learning models to manufacturing customers across the globe from different industries such as semiconductor, automotive, communications, energy and defense.
