It is curious that this hasn't resulted in pricing differentiation, where you pay more for quicker delivery, or more reliable delivery. Or maybe that exists but the weights (penalties for lateness vs premium for reduced transit) are variable, and the resulting correction signal to hard to optimise for with a high lag system such as a supply chain. A classic OR and non-linear control problem.
