Job description

The goal of this project is to develop an application that automates the prediction and monitoring process of the mainframe load as well as supporting decisions in this process. The mainframe logs various processes and keeps track of different entities, such that there is an excessive amount of data available. An initial list of available data is provided in the section below. The assignment can be split up in three steps:

  1. Making insightful which determinants influence the mainframe load and its variance. As an example, does the mainframe load depend on the number of trucks we produce? An initial guess might say yes, more production leads to more work to be done and therefore also leads to more tasks to be executed on the mainframe. However, we can argue that the tasks on the mainframe are executed anyhow and therefore changing the truck numbers does not have a large impact on the mainframe load.
  2. Developing a model that provides a prediction, based on the impactful determinants found in step 1. This prediction should be whether we will go beyond the capacity level later on the day. This is based on the known information of that day. For instance, how many jobs are scheduled or what is the usual behavior regarding unscheduled jobs.
  3. The third step is to determine the required action based on the outcome of the second step. It should recommend the lowest cost action which prevents that the capacity level is reached.
