Abstract

While business processes are typically handled differently among companies, many of them are variations of a common process like procurement or invoicing. To gain synergy effects from corporate mergers, process analysts align such processes by identifying and seamlessly integrating overlapping process parts. To support this, we present in this paper an approach that merges two business process models which are depicted as Event-driven Process Chains into a single process model which can serve as a starting point for further process optimization. The approach has been implemented in the ProM process mining framework and can thus be used together with a wide range of other process mining and analysis techniques.
