How to Control Costs

Example:

• Consider transfer of 1000 items
  • 80% with no playback problems
  • BUT - problem items take 4x as long to process
• Consider a cost per non-problem item of 100
• and a budget of 100 000
  
  

Strategy 1: random

• 5/8 through the job, the budget is gone
• 500 @ 100 each = 50 000
• 125 @ 400 each = 50 000
• 62.5% of job complete
  
  

Strategy 2: easiest first

• All 800 easy items transferred = 80 000
• 20 000 left to do 50 hard items
• 85% of job completed
  
  

Strategy 3: hardest first

• All 200 hard items transferred = 80 000
• 20 000 left to do 200 easy items
• 40% of job complete
  
  

Strategy 4: partnership

• Service Provider does 800 easy items for 80 000
• Archive "saves" 20 000 and handles the 200 hard items themselves
  
  

Partnership between archive and service provider

• Mapping out the situation

• Prioritisation:
  • what to do first
    • (before money and time run out)

• Triage - Selection by condition

• Specialisation - for efficient workflow
