The delivery lead time data was collected from AST over four years (2013 – 2016). The information consists of customers’ orders starting from the actual time of shipments until clearance date over several stages of shipment. A multivariate fixed and random regression models were employed using stepwise variable selections to identify significant independent factors; including their interaction to lead time. Supp, Commodities, Departure Port and Shipping line along with their interaction were significant shipping-related contributors to lead time explaining 38.7% of the total variation in lead time.
