Abstract: This study examines operational delays and bottleneck analysis in import-export freight operations at Logisteed India Pvt. Ltd. In today’s competitive logistics environment, identifying delays and eliminating bottlenecks is essential for improving operational efficiency and reducing turnaround time. The research aims to analyse existing freight processes, identify key delay factors, and determine the major bottlenecks affecting workflow performance. The study adopts a descriptive research design using both primary and secondary data. Primary data was collected from 200 respondents across various departments through structured questionnaires and direct interaction. Statistical tools such as percentage analysis, Chi-square test, and graphical representation were applied for analysis. The findings reveal that documentation errors, delays in customer document submission, customs clearance procedures, and port congestion are the major causes of operational delays. Internal issues such as manpower shortages, communication gaps, and system inefficiencies further contribute to bottlenecks in the logistics process. The study concludes that identifying and addressing bottlenecks through process improvement, digitalisation, standardisation of documentation, and enhanced coordination can significantly reduce delays and improve overall operational efficiency.
