Optimizing Meal Solutions Delivery

Truckers waiting for route assignment accounted for the largest number of late deliveries at 85 instances for Meal Solutions' distribution center, followed by checking outbound boxes taking too long at 80 instances. These two issues combined represent over half of the total 305 late delivery instances. Addressing route assignment delays and reducing checking times at the distribution center can help improve on-time delivery performance.
