A STUDY OF OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT IN HIGH PRIORITY AND LOW PRIORITY CARGO IN AIR CARGO LOGISTICS AT SJA GLOBAL

The study on the operational management of high-priority and low-priority cargo at SJA Global Logistics Park Private Limited highlights the importance of efficient cargo handling systems in air logistics. The findings clearly show that priority-based cargo management plays a significant role in ensuring timely delivery and maintaining service quality. High-priority cargo handling is well-structured and efficient, with faster processing, dedicated storage, and continuous monitoring. This ensures that time-sensitive shipments are delivered without delay, which is essential for maintaining customer trust and operational reliability. On the other hand, low-priority cargo, although managed effectively, faces certain delays due to dependency on resource availability and operational constraints. The study also identifies key challenges such as documentation delays, limited warehouse capacity, and coordination gaps between departments. These issues affect overall efficiency and highlight the need for better planning and system improvements. The lack of advanced technology and real-time tracking systems further limits the effectiveness of cargo management. In conclusion, improving operational efficiency requires the adoption of modern technology, better communication systems, and enhanced workforce training. By addressing these challenges, logistics companies can improve their performance, reduce delays, and provide better service to customers. The study provides practical insights that can help organizations optimize their cargo handling operations and strengthen their position in the competitive air cargo industry.
