Total Cost and outcome Unit Ratio

\mathit{TCUR}\mathit{^{\times}}(g)

\mathit{\times} \in \{\mathit{sgl}, \mathit{sum}\}

Dimension:

Cost

Granularity:

Group of cases

Description

Ratio between the total cost associated with all activity instances of a group of cases, and the outcome units associated with all activity instances of a group of cases.

Potential use

Event log in which the total cost in relation to the outcome units of the cases of a group of cases is of relevance.

Assumptions

Ratio between total cost and outcome unit count should be as close to 0 as possible.

Desired Value:

MINIMIZE

Equations

Formula for practitioners

$\frac{\mathit{TC}(g)}{\mathit{U}(g)}$

$\mathit{TC}(g)$ returns the total cost of case group $g$ .
$\mathit{U}(g)$ returns the total outcome unit count of case group $g$ .

Formal Definition

$\frac{\mathit{TC}\mathit{^{\times}}(g)}{\mathit{U}\mathit{^{\times}}(g)}$
The $\mathit{\times}$ indicates that the PPI can take multiple forms, in this case, $\mathit{\times} \in \{\mathit{sgl}, \mathit{sum}\}$ . If $\mathit{\times} = \mathit{sgl}$ , then the function considers single events of activity instances for cost and outcome unit calculations, i.e., it uses $\mathit{TC}\mathit{^{sgl}}$ and $\mathit{U}\mathit{^{sgl}}$ ; if $\mathit{\times} = \mathit{sum}$ , then the function considers the sum of all events of activity instances for cost and outcome unit calculations, i.e., it uses $\mathit{TC}\mathit{^{sum}}$ and $\mathit{U}\mathit{^{sum}}$ .
