The document analyzes timekeeper behavior at a law firm based on time entry data. It finds that 36% of time entries are late, with 45% of associates and 70% of partners non-compliant with the weekly deadline. Late timekeepers forget to record smaller time increments under 30 minutes. This results in an estimated $2.4-3.6 million in leaked time annually. The company, Smart Time, offers a free analysis of firms' timekeeping data and a demo of their software that aims to improve compliance and capture of all work time.

The flow management of these processes is important to:
- Understand how the work flows
- See how healthy the process is
- Find the bottlenecks
- Have predictability
- Promote continuous improvement
Besides, a company can understand efficiency in two different ways:
- Flow Efficiency
- Resource efficiency
This choice can drive the entire management strategy of organizations.

IRJET- Mining Frequent Itemset on Temporal data
This document proposes a new algorithm for efficiently mining frequent itemsets from temporal transactional data. It introduces the concept of "time cubes" to consider time hierarchies in the mining process. The algorithm uses two thresholds - minimum support and minimum density - to filter itemsets and avoid overestimating patterns that may not be valid across entire time intervals. It applies the well-known FP-Growth algorithm and partitions the database based on item presentation times before combining neighboring time intervals with frequent itemsets. The algorithm aims to find valid time intervals where patterns hold and discover any periodicities in an efficient two-pass approach.

Your Timekeeper's Behavior Revealed
- 1. Timekeeper Behavior Analysis Todd Gerstein Founder & CEO San Francisco David Gallagher General Manager, UK London
- 7. Velocity of Time Identifies Behavior Percent of Total Time Entries Contemporaneous (31%) Reconstructionist (69%) Days Elapsed Since Work Done
- 8. Velocity of Time: Compliance Percent of Total Time Entries In Compliance (64%) Late Timesheets (36%) Days Elapsed Since Work Done Firm Policy: Time Due Every Friday or Maximum Velocity = 4
- 9. Compliance by Timekeeper Type Percent of Timekeepers in Compliance (Time due on Friday or Max Velocity = 4) 70% of the Partners do not take time entry deadlines seriously
- 11. Late Timekeepers enter significant less small increments of time
- 12. Biggest Offenders: Associates and PartnersPotentialLeaked Time Days Elapsed Since Work Done
- 13. The Value of Late Time: $2.4 - $3.6 Million Methodology: Late timekeeper’s recall a lower percentage of small time increments. We calculate the cost of this memory failure to the firm by comparing it to the behavior of the compliant timekeeper and value the leak at an average hourly rate. Our proposition is that by facilitating the capture of small time increments for timekeepers who have a velocity of greater than 2, we estimate $2.4 - $3.6 million in additional time could be booked into the accounting system year over year.
- 15. 45% of Associates are not in compliance
- 16. 70% of the Partners are not in compliance
- 17. Late timekeepers forget to submit small increments of time because of failed memory
