WT(c)\mathit{WT}(c)
Dimension:
Time
Granularity:
Case

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 activity instances in a case.

Potential use

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

Assumptions

Minimizing waiting time is desirable.

Desired Value:

MINIMIZE

Formula for practitioners

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

inst(c)\mathit{inst}(c) returns the set of all activity instances in case cc.
WT(i)\mathit{WT}(i) returns the waiting time of activity instance ii.

Formal Definition

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