Abstract

This article presents the results of an empirical study on the efficiency of yard operations at a major Container Freight Station (CFS) in the vicinity of Chennai Port. Structured questionnaire was administered to 55 employees at managerial, supervisory and operational levels. Dimensions analyzed were yard layout, equipment management, workforce competency, IT integration, gate operations and storage capacity. There is a positive sentiment of approximately 82% overall, confirming the operational maturity of the facility. However, four big vulnerabilities were identified: equipment reliability, gaps in digital adoption, inconsistency in container placement and shortage of resources during peak hours. Recommendations to stay competitive in the growing trade volume include predictive maintenance, AI based yard management, digital upskilling and gate automation

Key words

Container Freight Station (CFS), Yard Operation Efficiency, Logistics Equipment Control Workforce Competency
