Im Rahmen der International Scientific Conference MOTSP (Management of Technology Step to Sustainable Production) wurde Prof. Axmann für sein Abstract mit dem Best Paper Award ausgezeichnet. Das Thema des Abstract, das er gemeinsam mit Harmoko Harmoko (THI) und Rahul Malhotra (THI) verfasste, trägt den Titel "The Assessment of Robotic Process Automation Projects with a Portfolio Analysis: Firt Step - Evaluation Criteria Identification and Introduction of the Portfolio Concept". Darin geht es um den Einsatz von RPA (Robotic Process Automation), welche eine Technologie beschreibt, die Menschen bei der Ausführung von sich wiederholenden und regelbasierten Aufgaben im Büro nachahmt.
Abstract: RPA’s (Robotic Process Automation) usage in organizations has rapidly increased in recent years; as a result, companies have developed high expectations from this technology. However, according to Ernst & Young (E&Y), 30-50% of observed RPA projects initially fail and reveal several risks, which lead to investment losses. Consequently, the RPA project is prematurely retired, and the company is back to the manual process. This premature retirement is mainly because of wrong process selection and the not sufficient company automation (RPA) maturity. Therefore, this paper will introduce the concept of an RPA Portfolio, which will assess the complexity of business processes with a company’s automation (RPA) maturity. The RPA Portfolio is a new innovative concept to simplify and visualize the business process selection for RPA projects, and will help to introduce successfully the right RPA projects.
