However, EXIM logistics at Narsapura involves the movement of automotive parts along several international routes under strict JIT conditions where even a one-day delay is no longer just an issue of cost but production line disruption. In this paper, results of a structured survey of 80 professionals involved in logistics and supply chain operations at the terminal will be presented, whereby participants were requested to assess the factors contributing to delays and high costs as well as those facilitating efficient EXIM logistics. By far, the most important revelation of the study was not technical in nature as the highest mean rating (4.25) of all potential tools was attributed to stakeholders' coordination as the most effective way of reducing delays. Interestingly, transportation delay was cited by respondents as both a prevalent problem (63.75%) and a main cause of high costs. Using this information, the paper examines the interconnections between EXIM operations practices, documentation management, choice of transport modes, and the use of digital tools to recommend specific improvements without the need for significant capital expenditures
