Modeling and Optimization of JD Logistics Delivery Time in Spreadsheets

2025-04-27

Abstract

This research focuses on the modeling and optimization of JD Logistics' regional delivery time data using spreadsheet-based analytics. By systematically collecting historical delivery performance metrics, we construct mathematical models to analyze factors influencing delivery efficiency (e.g., distance, weather, traffic conditions) and propose data-driven route optimization strategies. The study aims to enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction through targeted delivery scheduling improvements.

1. Data Collection Methodology

  • Geographical Coverage:
  • Timeframe:
  • Variables Tracked:
    • Actual vs. promised delivery time
    • Route distance between warehouses and delivery points
    • Real-time traffic congestion indices (API integration)
    • Weather conditions during transit periods
    • Parcel volume per delivery batch

Data consolidation performed through JD's API feeds and manual validation in Google Sheets.

2. Spreadsheet Modeling Framework

2.1 Model Architecture

Sheet Function
Raw_Data Consolidated data repository with data validation rules
GeoMatrix Distance calculations using Haversine formula implementations
Delay_Analysis
  • Correlation matrices (distance vs. delay)
  • Weather impact scoring (SandAQI, precipitation)

2.2 Core Formulas

=QUERY(Raw_Data!A1:F500, 
"SELECT Region, AVG(Delay), COUNT(Delay) 
 WHERE Weather = 'Rain' 
 GROUP BY Region
 LABEL AVG(Delay) 'Avg_Rain_Delay'")
        

3. Optimization Algorithms

Dynamic Routing Logic

  1. Input: Real-time weather API pull and traffic status
  2. Processing: Batch optimization using SVERWEIS (VLOOKUP) with priority rules:
    • Fresh groceries → Shortest path regardless of cost
    • Standard parcels → Weighted distance/cost balance
  3. Output: Delivery sequence suggestions with ETCC calculations

Truck Loading Simulation

Implemented through Sheets' Solver add-on to maximize: Objective: MIN(Σ(Delivery Windows Missed)) Constraints: - Truck capacity ≤ 150 standard parcels - Perishable goods must be delivered ≤ 4 hours

4. Key Findings

95% of delivery delays correlated with afternoon thunderstorms and beltway congestion

Prioritized Recommendations

  • Weather adaptation:30% rainy days
  • Urban clustering:ON MEMEndame) ) DoneSection> iv'si.onExecWelcomeTitleIs("HIROn.subTitleX)
