Process Mining for Order-to-Cash in a Mid-Size Manufacturing Firm
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Process Mining for Order-to-Cash in a Mid-Size Manufacturing Firm. Expert-level challenge in analysis. Analyzing real datasets and building models that drive...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
The order-to-cash process is opaque, with long lead times (avg 15 days) and frequent delays, but management cannot pinpoint root causes.
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst or data scientist does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, incomplete, real-world data.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
