How to find bottleneck flows in the process at any given time?
How to analyze one flow to find the peak bottleneck periods over a long time?
QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.8 contains enhanced support for analyzing business process queues and bottlenecks.
The new Queue Status by Flows preset Chart is an easy way to start analyzing queues and bottlenecks in detail. Using the chart just select the actual real-time moment you are interested in and the chart shows all Flows ordered by the queue length. This immediately gives a good understanding of some potential bottlenecks in that particular time. The picture below shows how the flow from Invoice Created to Invoice Clearing is a strong bottleneck candidate with more than 6000 cases in the queue on Jan 1st, 2020.
The peak performance period can be found using the Queue Analysis objects. A ready-made view is available as a Chart preset Cases in selected Queue Trend. In the picture below the daily trend is used to discover the peak period in early December 2019 with a daily queue length exceeding 600 cases.
