Recent studies predominantly focus on retrospective analysis of customer data, whereas more forward-directed concepts, namely predictions, are rarely addressed. Additionally, the integration of robotic process automation (RPA) to potentially increase the efficiency of customer journey analysis is not discussed in the current field of research. To fill this research gap, this paper introduces "customer journey mining". Process mining techniques are applied to leverage digital customer data for accurate prediction of customer movements through individual journeys, creating valuable insights for improving the customer experience. Striving for improved efficiency, the potential interplay of RPA and customer journey mining is examined accordingly. The research methodology followed is based on a design science research process. An initially defined customer journey mining artifact is operationalized through an illustrative case study. This operationalization is achieved by analyzing a log file of an online travel agency functioning as an orientation for researchers and practitioners while also evaluating the initially defined framework. The data is used to train seven distinct prediction models to forecast the touchpoint a customer is most likely to visit next. Gradient-boosted trees yield the highest prediction accuracy with 43.1\%. The findings further indicate technical suitability for RPA implementation, while financial viability is unlikely.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{EschenbaecherWiethoelterKuehl2023, author = {Eschenb{\"a}cher, Jens and Wieth{\"o}lter, Jost and K{\"u}hl, Linus}, title = {Data-driven supply chain analysis: Development and potential analysis of a model-based damage prediction approach and its integration into SCM}, series = {Proceedings of the 27th International Symposium on Logistics}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 27th International Symposium on Logistics}, isbn = {13 978-0-85358-352-3}, pages = {136 -- 144}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Against the setting of an increasing need for innovation and low margins, companies in the logistics sector are facing highly competitive pressure. One field with high potential for optimization lies within damage quotas. The use of big data analytics or data mining represents a promising approach to face this challenge. However, within supply chain management, data mining is hardly being researched on regarding damage quotas and thus not being utilized to its full possible extend. At the current time it seems to predominantly be used for route and utilization optimization while the analysis of delivery damages is hardly considered. The aim of this research is therefore to showcase an initial approach for data mining in logistics to predict delivery damage probabilities and to validate this by means of a multiple case study research. To create a sound basis for evaluation, the groundwork is laid out based on CRISP-DM by the analysis of reference data (German road-cargo market). As a central result it is noted that data mining can systematically be used to help reducing the damages by forecasting the probabilities of damages occurring during transport in dependence of different factors. The approach can be utilized across different markets as long as sufficient data tracking delivery damages is being collected within a company.

We applied a three-step approach (1) identifying ecosystem types based on bibliometric analysis, (2) exploring salient characteristics per ecosystem type using qualitative content analysis and (3) deriving founding conditions from the salient characteristics following a conceptual approach. Based on a bibliometric analysis, we identified business/innovation, entrepreneurial and service ecosystems. In a second step, we developed salient characteristics within the themes of structure, power constellation/interdependencies and governance by inductive coding. As we identified a significant difference in alignment structure, we analyzed if alignment structure persists since ecosystem origin and explains why ecosystems differ. We analyzed potential pairings between alignment structure and their respective founding condition for every ecosystem type.

This paper elaborates on data-flow anomalies acting as indicators for potential errors and how such anomalies can be uncovered despite implicit and hidden data-flow definitions. By considering an integrated view, it goes beyond other approaches which are restricted to separate data-flow analysis of either process model or source code. The main idea is to merge call graphs representing programmed services into a control-flow representation of the process model, to label the resulting graph with associated data operations, and to detect anomalies in that labeled graph using a dedicated data-flow analysis.

Examples of such usage in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) context include the oft-played beer distribution game, developed by MIT Sloan School of Management (Forrester, 1961), which simulates the coordination of typical problems in supply chain processes, promoting information sharing and collaboration throughout a supply chain (Sterman, 1984). Purchasing and Supply Management (PSM), a subset of this wider SCM area, focuses on the direct relationships between organisational buyers and suppliers, covering aspects such as establishing trust, identifying and selecting suitable suppliers, managing supplier performance and the overall relationship. A systematic review of the PSM gamified learning literature establishes that there has been limited research to date and that which there is tends to focus on quantitative representations of managing overall supply and demand, using wider SCM elements. This suggests that there are opportunities to gamify PSM learning, in particular focusing on the human element in PSM and developing soft skills, as strong buyer-supplier relationships can generate significant benefits to both parties. To provide a more focused PSM contribution, a second systematic literature review distils the relevant principles, techniques and processes to inform the development of two gamified PSM learning activities. Negotiation and supplier relationship management rely heavily on personal interactions and are both seen as key activities at different stages of the PSM process. The development of the two gamified learning activities is strengthened by being underpinned by a synthesis of the literature review's key findings, ensuring they are domain-meaningful abstractions of reality, contain rewards and rankings based on clear objectives and have appealing gameplay. It is hoped that this paper provides a platform for future domain specific PSM research and will be of use to educators in this field in developing their own gamified learning.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DelkeSchieleBuchholz2020, author = {Delke, Vincent and Schiele, Holger and Buchholz, Wolfgang}, title = {Mind the Gap: Identifying Skill Gaps in Purchasing and Supply Management}, series = {Proceedings 29th IPSERA conference}, booktitle = {Proceedings 29th IPSERA conference}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Nowadays, the human-centric discipline of purchasing and supply management (PSM) is of strategic importance for firms' success.

Therefore, this paper tests the impact of supplier relationship information and SNM on the purchasing performance on a large sample of 624 purchasers. A multi-group analysis in structural equation modeling estimates the impact of a cost leadership versus a differentiation strategy on cost saving and innovation performance. We show that information quality and SNM indeed improve the purchasing performance. Moreover, cost leaders use SNM if they know their supplier relationships with sub-suppliers, while innovation leaders use it if they know their supplier relationships with other customers. Hence, our results prove the usefulness of the SNM tool and give recommendations for its use depending on a company's competitive strategy.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BuchholzKappelSchiele2019, author = {Buchholz, Wolfgang and Kappel, Antonia and Schiele, Holger}, title = {Knowing your suppliers: people or media as key sources of information?}, series = {IPSERA Conference proceedings}, booktitle = {IPSERA Conference proceedings}, pages = {1 -- 21}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Most companies have realized the high importance of becoming the preferred customers of their suppliers to obtain preferential resource allocation.

In order to develop this extension, we distinguish between direct/indirect customers and internal/external customers and then create a matrix of incentives and cognitive frames that we believe will help companies interested in large-scale AM improve both the speed and the effectiveness of AM adoption. We provide an organizing framework that managers can use to create a supply chain that is aligned around closed-loop principles that will help speed adoption and move closer to sustainable goals that exist for AM technologies. These include reduced raw material use, reduced scrap and material overage, and reduced rework, and lower transportation costs. The goal is to attain often-conflicting goals of lower long-term costs and decreased environmental footprint. Using our extension, we believe we can provide a useful framework to help managers implementing advanced manufacturing technologies to achieve lower costs and greater environmental sustainability by creating a common supply chain framework around customized, on-demand products.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BueckerSzepannekBieceketal.2019, author = {B{\"u}cker, Michael and Szepannek, Gero and Biecek, Przemyslaw and Gosiewska, Alicja and Staniak, Mateusz}, title = {Transparency of Machine Learning Models in Credit Scoring}, series = {CRC Conference XVI Papers}, booktitle = {CRC Conference XVI Papers}, editor = {Crook, Jonathan}, publisher = {Credit Research Center, University of Edinburgh}, address = {Edinburgh}, pages = {1 -- 1}, year = {2019}, abstract = {A major requirement for Credit Scoring models is of course to provide a risk prediction that is as accurate as possible.
