Dear Celopeers,

 

May I ask you to dispell a potential misunderstanding on my part regarding the Calc_throughput function.

 

I have three consecutive activities : A, B and C

 

I would expect that:

CALC_THROUGHPUT(FIRST_OCCURRENCEN'A'] TO LAST_OCCURRENCEN'B']) + CALC_THROUGHPUT(FIRST_OCCURRENCEN'B'] TO LAST_OCCURRENCEN'C']) = CALC_THROUGHPUT(FIRST_OCCURRENCEN'A'] TO LAST_OCCURRENCEN'C']) 

 

 

Unfortunately, this is not what I'm observing at the moment when doing this on aggregates (say... all Purchase orders processed in the last 6 months). Calc_throughput A->C reports a much shorter throughput time than i would expect from the above calculation.

 

What could be the reason for this?

 

Best Regards,

How I read this you assume that all cases follow: A -> B -> C

 

However might there be cases that follow: A -> C (So excluding 😎 ?

 

In that case THROUGHPUT( A -> B -> C) != THROUGHPUT( A C)


Hi Erwin ,

Looks like to me - There is a difference in time that you may need to deduct in order to find the balance.

 

FIRST_OCCURRANCEE'B'] to LAST_OCCURRANCEE'B'] - Because

At first you are calculating First of A to Last of B

Then again First of B to Last of C ( Here First of B to last of B is already included) .

 

Please check if this difference solves your issue.

 

Regards

Ayan
