Temporal Logistics & Inventory Movements Dataset
Dataset Overview
This dataset contains detailed, time-indexed records of logistics, warehouse, and inventory operations.
Each row represents a single operational event (e.g., stock movement, transfer, shipment, or document line) enriched with multiple temporal attributes, spatial warehouse references, and administrative metadata.
The structure is particularly suited for temporal analysis, allowing the reconstruction and study of:
- Event sequences over time
- Operational workflows and delays
- Inventory life-cycles (production → storage → movement → shipment)
- Temporal correlations between documents, movements, and logistics activities
Temporal Dimension and Analysis Potential
The dataset includes several complementary date and time fields, enabling both coarse-grained and fine-grained temporal studies:
Daily / periodic analysis
Using movement, production, expiration, and document dates to analyze trends, seasonality, and workload distribution.Event sequencing and process mining
By ordering records via timestamps, it is possible to reconstruct operational pipelines (e.g., inbound → storage → transfer → outbound).Duration and latency measurement
Comparing start/end dates and movement timestamps allows estimation of:- Storage time per lot or item
- Transfer and handling delays
- Time-to-shipment and time-to-completion
Traceability over time
Temporal alignment of lots, articles, documents, and shipments enables end-to-end traceability across the supply chain.Anomaly and exception detection
Time gaps, overlaps, or unexpected sequences can highlight bottlenecks, inefficiencies, or data inconsistencies.
Analytical Use Cases
Typical analyses supported by this dataset include:
- Time-series analysis of inventory movements
- Lead-time and throughput evaluation
- Lot aging and expiration risk monitoring
- Operational performance monitoring by day, hour, or period
- Historical reconstruction of warehouse and shipping activities
Scope
This dataset is designed for:
- Temporal analytics and forecasting
- Process mining and operational intelligence
- Logistics and warehouse optimization studies
- Auditability and historical analysis of inventory flows
It is not limited to static inventory snapshots, but instead provides a dynamic, event-driven view of logistics operations over time.
Dataset Structure Documentation
This dataset represents transactional and logistical records, likely related to warehouse management, shipping, inventory movements, and document tracking.
Each row corresponds to a single operational record (e.g., shipment, movement, or document line).
