The data Source
The production data exported from Priority
The mandatory data
The Data in Disco
The Production data are configured and imported to Disco for process discovery
Operations
Paths taken by work orders
The Actual Process Flow
Repeated Operation
Frequencies
Number of work orders starting the process
Start point
End point
Analysis of Operations
Revealing Deviations from Routing
For some work orders, the process starts and ends with different operations then defined in the routing (circled in red)
Start point
End point
Locating the Slow Work Orders
The Performance filter is used to retrieve slow work orders by a selected duration
The Slow Process Flow
The mean waiting time between operations
The mean duration of operations
Animation of the Slow Process
The actual process is replayed based on the production data To view the animation press here.
Work orders starting the process
An Indication of a Bottle Neck
Operation Time An Indication of work loads
Statistics About Products in the Slow Work Orders
Analysis of Work Cells
The Process Flow Among the Work Cells
Locating the Longest Idle Times
The Performance filter is used to retrieve the work cells with the longest idle times between operations
Idle Times in the Process
The numbers represent the maximal waiting time between work cells
Analysis of Breakdowns
Statistics About Breakdown Reasons
Analysis by a Selected Breakdown Reason
The Impact of a Breakdown on a Selected Part
The operation with the ellipse was reported as a breakdown The red arrow points at a delay in the process (compared to the one indicated by the green
arrow)

Process Discovery
Installing Disco
Download and install Disco from here (it’s free & easy!)
Downloading a Demo Project
Download and save a demo project with production data from here
Loading the Demo Project to Disco
1. Run Disco, and click on the Open File button 2. In the Windows explorer that opens, select the saved project file:
