Problem

Scenario

You are analyzing shipment delay data across routes, carriers, and seasons. The delays include early arrivals, on time deliveries, and occasional extreme late shipments, so the pattern is not likely to follow a single simple distribution.

Question

What statistical distributions would you expect to see in supply chain delay data, and how would you model them?
