UPS Logistics Optimization using SQL

📌 Project Overview

This project analyzes delivery delays, route inefficiencies, warehouse bottlenecks, and delivery agent performance using structured relational logistics data.

The objective is to identify operational inefficiencies and recommend data-driven improvements to enhance SLA compliance and overall delivery reliability.


🗂 Dataset Structure

The analysis is based on five core relational tables:

  • Orders – Order-level delivery details and timelines
  • Routes – Distance, travel time, and traffic delay metrics
  • Warehouses – Processing time and dispatch performance
  • Delivery Agents – Agent-level performance metrics
  • Shipment Tracking – Checkpoint-level delay insights

🛠 SQL Techniques Used

  • Aggregations (AVG, COUNT, SUM)
  • Window Functions (RANK, DENSE_RANK)
  • Common Table Expressions (CTEs)
  • KPI Calculations
  • Delay computation using DATEDIFF
  • Efficiency Ratio Analysis
  • SLA Performance Benchmarking

📊 Key Business Insights

  • Overall On-Time Delivery Rate: 56% (Below 80% SLA Target)
  • Top 3 routes contribute to over 50% of delayed shipments
  • 30% of warehouses drive the majority of processing delays
  • 72% of delivery agents operate below SLA threshold
  • Intermediate checkpoints (2 & 3) are major congestion points

🎯 Business Recommendations

  • Implement dynamic route optimization
  • Improve warehouse staffing and sorting capacity
  • Introduce preventive buffers for weather-related disruptions
  • Deploy SLA monitoring dashboards with automated alerts
