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

Description

Sum of the waiting time and the service time of an activity instance. 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

ST(i)+WT(i)\mathit{ST}(i) + \mathit{WT}(i)

ST(i)\mathit{ST}(i) returns the service time of activity instance ii, representing the time between its start and completion.
WT(i)\mathit{WT}(i) returns the waiting time of activity instance ii, representing the idle period before the instance starts execution.

Formal Definition

ST(i)+WT(i)\mathit{ST}(i) + \mathit{WT}(i)
