Master Project - Deep Dive on Process Differences in Power Plants (f/m/d)

  Uniper´s maintenance department at Energy Asset Management (EAM) has established a central process on how to execute maintenance work on site, called PM/WCM (Plant Maintenance and Work Clearance Management). The EAM department has identified variations in the process execution across power stations, and Uniper is interested in identifying the deviations between sites on effective measures (KPI's), activities and recommendations to improve conformance and to prepare the process for the S4 Hana Transformation. Recorded data from SAP can be used to apply existing process mining techniques on checking process conformance and comparing plants with each other.

Your responsibilities

We would like to offer you a process mining master project on this maintenance process. In a previous project, the PM/WCM process has been analysed in different perspectives of Notifications, Orders Operations and Isolations using data from SAP PGC for various power plants across Germany, the UK and the Netherlands. For these power plants, a end-to-end high-level “as-is” process model was created to easy the transition of all power plants to a single SAP S4 instantiation. In this project, we have two aims:

• See whether additional power plants fit the as-is process model, and update the model where necessary
• Analyse the differences between the different power plants and the as-is process model in more detail, using existing and new process comparison techniques
• Upon analysing the detailed variants in the process, identify a potential harmonised way of working the Maintenance orders to migrate into S4
