How to reduce the query execution time

Question

hai all,
We have created query on Purchasing Cube 0PUR_C01 for
                            Purchase Order (PO) analysis for single vendor materials, but it is taking long time to execute (about 45 sec...).
In the above Query we have used the following things:
In Columns:
i) Exceptional aggregation for maximum & minimum PO Net Price using reference characteristic as Calendar Day.
ii) Minimum PO Price value we have multiplied with Actual GR Quantity for the calculation of Impact of Lowest PO Net Price.
iii) Number of vendors calculated key figure.
In Rows:i)     Only Material
In Filters:
i)     Plant with variable select Option u2013 Optional.
ii)     Calendar Year / Month with Select Option u2013 Optional.
iii)     Material with excluded Unassigned (#).
iv)     Vendor with excluded Unassigned (#).
Following are we have used for Performance:
i)     Aggregates using Propose from query (only for this query).
ii)     Partitioning on Calendar Year / Month (For 1 year 14 partitions) i.e. (04.2007 to 03.2008).
iii)      Collapse.
iv)     In RSRT we have set the following properties
Read Mode = H
Req.Status  = 0
Catch Mode = 4
Persistence Mode = 3 (BLOB)
Optimization mode = 0.
Our inputs to this Query:
i)     We are passing plant range 1201 to 1299.
ii)     Calendar Year / Month 04.2007 to 03.2008.
So please suggest me how to reduce the execution time.
please help me.
Thanks,

Hi,
First of all its a complete question with all the details. Good work.
As you partitioned the cube based on calmonth and you are also giving calmonth in selection, it will definitely work towards improved query performance.
As you are putting plant values in the selection, is there any aggregate available on plant characteristics? If not creating a aggregate on plant will help.
