\mathit{DFR}(c)

Dimension:

Flexibility

Granularity:

Case

Number of activity pairs where one is instantiated directly after the other in a case.

Process where several distinct directly-follows relations can occur.

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