First Time Right – Aiming For 100%
By Marja Rajamäki
Business Development Manager – QPR Software
For all you Leaners out there, First Time Right is a familiar concept. If your input to a process is 100 and output is equally 100, your First Time Right percentage is 100%. However, if with 100 input, you get process output of 98, your First Time Right percentage would only be 98%. Quite simple, isn’t it?
The First Time Right concept can be applied in process mining as well. With our customers, we have noticed that using First Time Right as a KPI is both beneficial but also makes communicating targets easier. The concept is well known in especially Six Sigma domain, but it is also easy to understand just from the name – we should get things right when trying for the first time.

2017 was a landmark year in many aspects for QPR ProcessAnalyzer. With the rolling, agile release cycle in effect, QPR ProcessAnalyzer has made big improvements over the 12 months. In this blogpost, we take a look at the two major development points of this year and look forward on what the next release will bring with it.
One of the major development initiatives this year has been the implementation of QPR ProcessAnalyzer into the QPR UI platform. QPR UI is a responsive, web-based, platform that offers an unified point of access for QPR software products.
Instead of accessing the analysis through standalone client or an Excel Add-In, QPR ProcessAnalyzer can be used in a web browser of your choosing which enables you to access your analysis from anywhere you might be. Unifying QPR UI with QPR ProcessAnalyzer makes your process analysis much more visually stunning and accessible for your decision makers. One important feature during 2017 was the introduction of two analysis windows made the analysis much more deeper. Having two windows for performing analysis, performing drill-downs are much more easier and accessible than ever before. The amount of analysis and findings made throught them was also increased, allowing for customizable analysis views with just a click of a button. The key aim of implementing QPR UI was to create a much more responsive and accessible way of visualizing your process data. Using modern web based presentation techniques, the QPR UI version of QPR ProcessAnalyzer presents a new way of doing process analysis.
Another major addition to the QPR ProcessAnalyzer feature-set was the introduction of In-Memory Mode. Improving Analysis Performance has always been a constant in our development roadmap and with the introduction of the In-Memory Mode, we were able to take our performance boost further. Instead of running from the hard drive of a databas server, the In-Memory mode loads the analysis model automatically into the memory of the QPR ProcessAnalyzer server. This in turn enables the operations
to be run immediately and without delay, providing heightened process analysis performance. This development initiative dived deeply into the back-end of the product and revamped the way analysis is handled by the system. This feature has been viewed as one of the major new improvements this year and it is still being improved on, as our Research and Development team is constantly finding new ways on how to improve the back-end performance of our product
So what is next?
QPR ProcessAnalyzer is constantly being developed and every 6 weeks brings in a new version of the industry recognized process mining software. We will be releasing the final release of the year 2017 on December 19th. This release brings forth new features, such as expanded filtering options and KPI calculations brought into the product. Other improvements include improved performance and further development of the in-memory mode.
To watch a showcase of all these features and a discussion about the future plans for QPR ProcessAnalyzer, check out our webinar below.
