I(c)\mathit{I}(c)
Dimension:
Time
Granularity:
Case

Description

Number of times that any activity is instantiated in a case.

Potential use

If the event log does not contain timestamps, activity Instance count can be used as a proxy for the time performance of a case.

Assumptions

A greater number of activity instances implies that the case takes longer to complete.

Desired Value:

MINIMIZE

Required attributes

Equations

Formula for practitioners

count(inst(c))\mathit{count}(\mathit{inst}(c))

inst(c)\mathit{inst}(c) returns the set of activity instances that occur in case cc.

Formal Definition

inst(c)|\mathit{inst}(c)|
