Manufacturing Master Data & Data Governance worked example

Data Migration Effort at 12% mapping, cleansing, and validation allowance: a worked example

Push mapping, cleansing, and validation allowance up to 12% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when data migration effort in manufacturing master data and data governance is changing rate or allowance and you want to see the impact.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Records to migrate: 120 units (unchanged)
  • Migration throughput rate: 12 units / min (unchanged)
  • Mapping, cleansing, and validation allowance: 12 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 10)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Base data migration effort time = data migration effort workload รท data migration effort completion rate) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 11.2 hr for required data migration effort time, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 10 hr for base data migration effort time.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 12 % for data migration effort allowance applied.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 12 pieces / min for data migration effort completion rate.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where mapping, cleansing, and validation allowance sits at 10% and the headline result is 11 hr, this scenario comes in 1.82% above the baseline at 11.2 hr.
  • It converts a record volume and a per-minute migration throughput into base hours, then applies an allowance for mapping, cleansing and validation to give required hours. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Required data migration effort time: 11.2 hr (headline result)
  • Base data migration effort time: 10 hr
  • Data migration effort allowance applied: 12 %
  • Data migration effort completion rate: 12 pieces / min
