Automated Decision-Making & BPA
to Deliver Measurable Business Value
Overview
Automated Decision-Making (ADM) is a transformative practice within Business Process Automation (BPA) that uses AI and machine learning to execute repetitive, rule-based tasks with minimal human intervention. By automating decisions and workflows, businesses can achieve significant efficiency gains, cost reductions, and operational excellence.
Multi-Decision Pattern (MDP) Framework
What is MDP?
Multi-Decision Pattern is a sophisticated framework for modeling complex business processes that involve multiple decision points, dependencies, and outcomes.
- Decision Nodes: Points where automated decisions are made
- Process Flows: Sequences of activities and their dependencies
- Business Rules: Logic governing decision outcomes
- Integration Points: Connections to external systems
- Exception Handling: Procedures for managing anomalies
