1. Take control over mission critical processes
Optimize for execution speed with event-triggered workloads and SLA management
Predict job durations with historical and advanced estimation (cycles, average & variance)
See the impact of planned and unplanned events beforehand
9.3
Changes to SLA jobs produce proactive alerts
Identification of “patterns” (regular trends) in job time durations/deadlines
IBM SPSS used for statistical analysis
Drag & drop jobs in a Gantt view
Real time simulation of changes on the current plan
Forecast of impacts
Trial and error approach
IBM SPSS Statistics is a well known software package used for statistical analysis.
It is using the whole job history to identify patterns and make the right prediction.
It is not using a pre-defined list of possible periods.
It Is using sophisticated algorithms.
This processing is being used for a subset of jobs identified by the user.
A confidence interval is provided

2. Predict job durations details (WSd)
Built in job duration prediction algorithms
Detailed statistics are reported for common periods
Global statistics for all the job instances
Weekly statistics
Monthly statistics
Monthly (from the end of the month) statistics
Run cycle statistics

3. Predict job durations details (WSd)
Built in job duration prediction algorithms
An algorithm identifies the period (if present).
A linear prediction algorithm is used to analyze the samples of the period.
A confidence interval is showing the variance of the samples for the identified period
This is the default prediction algorithm for all the jobs. e

6. Predict: What-if analysis details
Visualize critical jobs in an iconic GANTT view
Drag and drop jobs for immediate simulations
Forecast the possible effects of an event
Run What if simulations by selecting one or more jobs

7. Predict: What-if simulations and analysis
Modify
the
Start date
You can drag a job later in the plan
and...
...check which impact this change causes on the plan, looking at the operation critical latest start.
