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

Description

Ratio between the number of optional activities that are instantiated in a group of cases, and the number of activities that occur in a group of cases. \newline An activity is considered optional if there is at least one case in the event log where it does not occur.

Potential use

Process with multiple activities that are not instantiated in every case.

Assumptions

A greater number of optional activities is desired, as it implies a greater capability to address unexpected situations.

Desired Value:

MAXIMIZE

Equations

Formula for practitioners

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

OptA(g)\mathit{OptA}(g) returns the optional activity count for group gg.
A(g)\mathit{A}(g) returns the number of unique activities in group gg.

Formal Definition

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