Calculation of Reaction Points
Formula: Creation Date + SL Reaction Time = Reaction Point
- Incidents 1-2: Thursday, 4/30/2009 12:00 PM + 1 hour = Thursday, 4/30/2009 1:00 PM
Calculation of Solution Points
Formula: Creation Date + SL Solution Time = Solution Point
- Incident 1: Thursday, 4/30/2009 12:00 PM + 24 hours = Wednesday, 5/6/2009, 09:00
Friday, 5/1, Saturday and Sunday are not working days. Only working hours within the working days are used for the calculation, i.e. 9 hours per day from Monday to Thursday during this specific week.
- Incident 2: Thursday, 30.04.2009 12:00 + 1 day = Monday, 04.05.2009, 12:00
Friday, 5/1, is not a working day. Because only working days can be considered for the calculation, the next working day is Monday.
