Dimension:
Time
Granularity:
Activity

Description

Sum of elapsed time between the start and complete events of all instantiations of an activity in the event log.

Potential use

Event log that contains lifecycle information for activity instances where the actual time spent executing them is of interest.

Assumptions

Minimizing service time is desirable.

Desired Value:

MINIMIZE

Formula for practitioners

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

inst(a)\mathit{inst}(a) returns the set of all instances of activity aa.
ST(i)\mathit{ST}(i) returns the service time of activity instance ii.

Formal Definition
