7.0 Methodology
7.1 Tools Used
In this project, 3 main tools will be used - Power BI, Excel and JMP.
Power BI is the choice of tool by Company X and data visualisation will be done on this medium.
Excel is used by Company X to store their data, taken from their system. It is also used for part of the data cleaning process, namely: categorizing density of each shipment into their respective freight density ratios and appending new data sets given to us.
JMP is used for part of the data cleaning process too, namely: removing rows with bad data and duplicates, and recoding of data fields.
7.2 Project Methodology
Our brief plan of action includes doing descriptive analytics and predictive analytics. Descriptive analytics will be done via doing data visualisation. We will be combining various descriptive analysis of operational factors into a dashboard which will allow Company X to monitor, track and diagnose. Additionally, a regression model to allow Company X to better forecast shipment behaviour. We will also be doing secondary research from various journal articles to potentially supplement our project.
As of now, we will be focusing on understanding and cleaning the data.
