Aggregating process instances

An aggregated EPC in PPM represents the average behavior of the underlying, actually executed process instances. You can use an aggregated EPC to evaluate behavioral patterns in business processes and analyze structural differences.

An aggregated EPC is created by aggregating several process instances. During aggregation, the EPCs, attributes and measures of the individual process instances are merged. The aggregation of process instances is associated with simplification and therefore with a loss of information.

The structure of an aggregated EPC essentially corresponds to the EPC structure of an individual process instance.
