Einsatz von Process-Mining zur Verifikation und Validierung von Simulationsmodellen in Produktion und Logistik

Verification and validation (V&V) are imperative to ensure the success of a simulation study but are often insufficiently considered in practice due to the effort associated with V&V-activities. This contribution discusses the application of process mining techniques to check the validity of discrete event simulation models in production and logistics. For this purpose, we present a morphological box which highlights the scope of process mining in the context of V&V for simulation models and distinguishes between different V&V items, aspects of validity, and V&V-criteria. Subsequently, the paper describes how a real system can be related to the behaviour of a simulation model and presents two scenarios for process miningsupported V&V using a reference example.
