Case

Description

Total elapsed time between the earliest and latest timestamps in a case. Also known as cycle time.

Potential use

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

Assumptions

Minimizing lead time is desirable.

Desired Value:

MINIMIZE

Equations

Formula for practitioners

endt(c)startt(c)\mathit{endt}(c) - \mathit{startt}(c)

endt(c)\mathit{endt}(c) returns the end timestamp of case cc.
startt(c)\mathit{startt}(c) returns the start timestamp of case cc.

Formal Definition

endt(c)startt(c)\mathit{endt}(c) - \mathit{startt}(c)
