WT(a)\mathit{WT}(a)
Dimension:
Time
Granularity:
Activity

Description

Sum of elapsed time between the start event of an activity instance and the complete event of the activity instance that precedes it, for all the instantiations of a specific activity in the event log.

Potential use

Event log in which the time spent between every activity instance is of relevance.

Assumptions

Minimizing waiting time is desirable.

Desired Value:

MINIMIZE

Formula for practitioners

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

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

Formal Definition

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