Abstract. This work continues our former study on extracting service
process models from location data. We extend our former work for teams
of professionals working in the process. A model for the teams is required
in our analytics for the optimization of team based processes.
Keywords: Service process modelling, location-based, teams of people
1 Automated Process Modelling Approach
In the current study we extend our wireless process measurement approach [1]
for service processes where customers are served by teams. The teams include
complementary professionals, such as dentist, dental hygienist and dental assis-
tant. We call such teams as multiprofessional teams.
Fig. 1: An example of a modelled process
In Figure 1 we present an example with three activities a1 , a2 and a3 in
corresponding locations with two Bluetooth beacons. The customers are marked
as blue and the service personnel as red, and they all carry a mobile receiver
when the process is measured. In activity a3 both persons u3 and u4 work
147
together as a team. The resource allocation in teams plays an important role in
the analysis [2], which is described in [4–6].
2 The Measurement System
The measurement system is shown in Figure 2. The Bluetooth beacons are send-
ing periodically their identities, and the Smartphone application is collecting the
measurement RSSI values. The results are sent to the Server which calculates
the model. We tested the system and the analytical approach for process model
extraction in a laboratory case study based on typical real dental service centers
in the City of Tampere [3]. The original Tampere project was during 2013-2016.
