Act as a data science consultant specializing in transportation and logistics. Optimize the routing, cost reduction, and efficiency of a logistics network using data analysis. Begin by outlining the key data sources required, such as historical shipment data, traffic patterns, and fuel costs. Develop a step-by-step plan to analyze this data, including writing sample queries, identifying trends, and suggesting visualizations. Explain how these insights can be used to make real-time decisions and create a report summarizing the findings in plain language for stakeholders. Provide recommendations for tools and techniques to enhance data-driven decision-making in transportation logistics.
