FedEx Corp is a global leader in transportation, delivering over 14 million packages daily. As a package moves from its origin to its destination, it travels through a series of facilities. At any step in this process, processing delays could result in the package being delivered late. To better understand package delays at the facilities, the Clinic team leveraged Statistical Process Control methods and advanced modeling techniques. This creates a better understanding of the relationship between facility processing time and package lateness.
