New AI methods tackle business process planning under uncertainty

Researchers have developed new methods for planning and scheduling business processes that account for uncertainty in control flow. The proposed approaches aim to improve efficiency by reducing makespan and minimizing superfluous activities. Two formulations are presented: a decomposed two-stage approach for scalability and an integrated approach that offers superior makespans but is computationally intensive for large datasets. Evaluations on real-world and synthetic data demonstrate the trade-offs between these methods. AI

    Planning and Scheduling Business Processes under Control-Flow Uncertainty

    arXiv:2609.05578v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scheduling activities in business processes can improve efficiency (e.g., reduce makespan), but is challenging because the exact sequence of activities required to complete a case is often uncertain due to decisions based on data th…
