Abstract

This paper develops a decision-making assistant tool for managing the risk of delay in commercial outbound deliveries based on expected value (EV) and Statistical Learning (EL). This tool allows decision takers to prioritize deliveries based both on their quantities and probability of delaying. In this model prioritizing deliveries based on their EV results in minimizing impact on On-Time Delivery (OTD) KPI. The probabilities used on this model stem from a logistic regression model. The coefficients were used to evaluate which variables most impact on the chance of delaying. A simulation was executed on the historical data of multinational electronics company to test the applicability of this model. The quality of the predictions was tested using standard methodology for testing statistical learning models of the literature. Lastly the prioritization based on VE was tested confronting the predicted delay against real delay in each of five risk groups. The results show that the calculated probabilities were a reliable input and that the EV prioritization model allowed to find the high-risk group.
