I've been interested in how statistics can be applied to shipping and logistics. There are many factors that can be analyzed, such as delivery times, shipping costs, order volumes, delays, and customer demand.
I'm curious how companies use statistical methods to identify trends and improve their shipping operations. For students studying this area, what tools or techniques have you found useful for analyzing shipping data?
I'm also looking for resources that can help me to do my statistics homework while giving me a better understanding of how statistical concepts apply to real-world shipping problems.
