Shipping Cost Drivers , Root Cause Analysis

Built a root-cause Tableau dashboard analyzing shipping cost drivers across carriers, destination zones, fees, and package weight. The analysis found that parcel carriers bill 2.5x actual package weight, creating a $922K annual excess billing impact, while Zone 6 costs 65% more per lb than Zone 2. The dashboard also includes carrier cost breakdowns and a fuel surcharge sensitivity model to estimate cost exposure from fuel increases up to 50%.
