Routes used on this lane

Routes on this lane: Locations along the way

Note

A lane consists of a pair of origin and a destination locations of shipments. A route includes all the locations the shipment goes through on its way from origin to destination. A lane can contain multiple routes.

Average lead time in days

Average lead time, in number of days. Calculated as the average number of days between shipped date and delivery date.

Note

Lead time is the time from when a shipment starts shipping until it is delivered in the Supply Chain Monitoring (SCM) system.

Variability

Variability is expressed as the coefficient of variation, which compares the size of the spread (standard deviation) to the average lead time.

  • Low variability indicates a smaller spread, meaning most lead times are close to the average.

  • High variability indicates a larger spread, meaning lead times vary significantly.

Standard deviation

Standard deviation of lead times, which measures how much individual lead times deviate from the average. A higher standard deviation indicates greater variability in lead times.

Number of shipments

Number of shipments traveling through this route within the configured period.

Icon indicating lane with more than 2% of total shipments and at least 10% excursion ratio

Indicates routes that are the main causes for the variability in the lead time on this lane.
