A complaint total alone does not describe the pre-change state. Fix product volume, route and period definitions.
Four required fields
- Period
- Product and route
- Event cause
- Data quality
Make measurement repeatable
Extract dispatches, rejections, temperature events, delays, packaging loss and handling time under shared definitions.
Link field work and records
Separate by product and route. Flag missing or low-quality rows; do not fill them with estimates.
Keep the baseline definition in later periods; changed denominators or periods cannot show comparable performance.
