What does a difference in case frequency noted on the connection to "Ship Goods" suggest?

A difference in case frequency noted on the connection to "Ship Goods" indicates that there is a significant volume of cases, specifically over 22,000, that are being linked to the "Ship Goods" activity. This observation highlights an important aspect of the process being analyzed, as it can reflect on how many cases transition into the shipping phase and can lead to insights about potential bottlenecks, inefficiencies, or areas for improvement in the overall workflow.

Understanding that a large number of cases transition to "Ship Goods" from non-specific activities can also help teams focus on areas requiring analysis, such as what these non-specific activities are, how they influence shipping times, and whether they contribute positively or negatively to the process efficiency.

This pattern does not inherently infer the total number of cases involved (like the option that mentions less than 10,000 cases), speak directly about the timing of the cases (as in arriving early), or specifically relate to the generation of delivery documents. Instead, it offers a quantitative insight into the frequency of cases interacting with the "Ship Goods" step, thereby serving as a critical indicator of process performance and guiding further investigation into operational effectiveness.
