Requests

The data model includes views such as Requests, Approved Requests, Rejected Requests, Pending Requests, and Completed Requests which provide insights into the lifecycle stages of submitted requests. Measures like Estimated HC Ext. Cost and Estimated TC Ext. Cost quantify the projected external costs associated with hardware components and overall components within each request, allowing for cost estimation analysis across different request statuses.

Benefits of This Data Model

• Improved Cost Estimation Analysis: The inclusion of measures like Estimated HC Ext. Cost and Estimated TC Ext. Cost allows for accurate and detailed cost estimation analysis across different request statuses.
• Enhanced Request Lifecycle Tracking: With views such as Approved Requests, Rejected Requests, Pending Requests, and Completed Requests, users can easily track and analyze the lifecycle stages of submitted requests.
• Efficient Approval Monitoring: The Approved Requests view provides a clear list of requests that have been successfully approved by relevant parties, facilitating efficient monitoring of approval processes.
• Streamlined Rejection Analysis: Rejected Requests view helps in identifying common reasons for request denials or rejections, aiding in improving request submission quality and approval chances.
• Effective Pending Request Management: The Pending Requests view assists in monitoring requests awaiting approval, allowing for timely actions and reducing bottlenecks in the approval workflow.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Estimated HC Ext. Cost: This measure represents the estimated external cost for hardware components in a request.
• Estimated TC Ext. Cost: This measure represents the estimated external cost for total components in a request.
