LT(a)\mathit{LT}(a)
Dimension:
Time
Granularity:
Activity

Description

Sum of the total elapsed time for all instantiations of an activity in the event log. Also known as cycle time.

Potential use

Event log is associated with a process in which the total elapsed time of activity instances is of relevance.

Assumptions

Minimizing lead time is desirable.

Desired Value:

MINIMIZE

Equations

Formula for practitioners

iinst(a)LT(i)\sum_{i \in \mathit{inst}(a)} \mathit{LT}(i)

inst(a)\mathit{inst}(a) returns the set of activity instances that belong to activity aa.
LT(i)\mathit{LT}(i) returns the lead time of activity instance ii.

Formal Definition

iinst(a)LT(i)\sum _{i \in \mathit{inst}(a)} \mathit{LT}(i)
