Overview
The Rate calculator shows the ratio or percentage of selected filtered data compared to the total dataset. This calculator is essential for calculating performance metrics, compliance rates, and identifying the proportion of cases meeting specific criteria.
Common Uses
- Calculate the rate of late payments, shipments, or deliveries
- Determine the rate of long-duration cases
- Measure the rate of cases with rework
- Calculate compliance or SLA adherence rates
- Add rate metrics to dashboards
Settings
Aggregate Function: Select which aggregation method to use when calculating the rate:
- Case count: Calculates the ratio based on the count of cases
- Sum: Calculates the ratio based on the sum of a chosen attribute
Filters: Specify the filters that define the subset of data you want to measure. For example, to calculate the rate of cases with durations over 30 days, add a filter selecting cases with Case Duration > 30 days.
Examples
Example 1: Rate of Late Deliveries
Scenario: You want to calculate what percentage of deliveries are late to measure on-time delivery performance.
Settings:
- Aggregate Function: Case count
- Filters: Apply a "Deadline" filter to select only late deliveries
Steps to add filter:
- Click three dots by the filters
- Select "Open Filters"
- Click "Add Filter"
- Select your filter (e.g., "Deadline" filter for late deliveries)
Output:
The output shows the value in decimal format. For example, 0.59 means 59% of deliveries are late.
To add the calculator output to the dashboard, click the three dots on the top right and select "Add Single Value."
Insights: This metric is crucial for monitoring delivery performance and identifying systemic issues with logistics or planning.
Example 2: Ratio of Total Cost for Long Cases
Scenario: You want to calculate what percentage of total item cost comes from long-duration cases compared to normal cases.
Settings:
- Aggregate Function: Sum
- Value Attribute: Total Item Cost
- Filters: Apply a "Cases with Attribute" filter to select long-duration cases
Steps to add filter:
- Click three dots by the filters
- Select "Open Filters"
- Click "Add Filter"
- Select "Cases with Attribute" filter to define long cases
Output:
The calculator shows the ratio of costs attributable to long-duration cases.
Insights: This reveals the financial impact of process inefficiencies, helping prioritize improvement efforts where they have the greatest cost benefit.
