DFRAR(g)\mathit{DFRAR}(g)
Dimension:
Flexibility
Granularity:
Group of cases

Description

Ratio between the number of activity pairs where one is instantiated directly after the other in a group of cases, and the number of activities that occur in a group of cases.

Potential use

Process where several distinct directly-follows relations can occur.

Assumptions

A greater number of directly-follows relations is desirable, as it implies a greater capability to address unexpected situations.

Desired Value:

MAXIMIZE

Formula for practitioners

DFR(g)A(g)\frac{\mathit{DFR}(g)}{\mathit{A}(g)}

DFR(g)\mathit{DFR}(g) returns the number of unique Directly-Follows Relations (DFR) in group gg.
A(g)\mathit{A}(g) returns the number of unique activities in group gg.

Formal Definition

DFR(g)A(g)\frac{\mathit{DFR}(g)}{\mathit{A}(g)}
