Abstract

This study examines the efficiency of university enrollment processes within public services. We aimed to analyze administrators' workload during enrollment by observing their activities across different workload levels: low, average, and highly overloaded. We meticulously recorded the time spent on enrollment tasks and the frequency of revisiting individual cases. Utilizing the P-graph methodology allowed for precise optimization insights. Our results reveal that administrators often work overtime and face high turnover rates due to being overwhelmed during enrollment periods. We identified significant inefficiencies, with administrators struggling to meet work targets within regular hours. The P-graph methodology provided an unprecedented, detailed view of the process's optimal path and resource allocation, suggesting its application could extend to other public service processes. Our approach also included sitting with administrators to document the exact time spent on tasks and the frequency of revisiting documents, offering a precise evaluation of administrative efficiency and resource needs.
