    (Addis Ababa University, 2022-06) Mintesnot Haile; Busha Temesgen (PhD)
    The purpose of this study is to assess constraints on operational efficiency of cross-border dry cargo transport operators in Ethiopia. Road freight transport has so far remained to be the major means of transport in Ethiopia but the operators in this sector regarded as inefficient. Since the significance of road freight transport operators in economic development is very high it is important to avoid constraints and improve their operational efficiency. In this study, both descriptive and explanatory research design is used and Primary data was collected from employees of transport operators through questionnaires and interview. Out of 172 questionnaires distributed, 169 (98%) complete responses returned and data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and inferential analysis methods. The correlation result show that Transport operation management system, Fleet stock age, Use of ICT, Rules and regulations, Terminal and parking availability are among the variables that are statistically significant for this study. Role of service providers, fleet size and road condition have connections with the efficiency of road transport operations, but they are statisticall insignificant. The study concluded that, there is positive and significant relationship between constraints and operational efficiency of transport operators. Hence, those constraints of transport operations have a considerable impact on road freight transport operators' efficiency. Finally, the study recommended freight transport operators to assess their operational problems regularly and develop an efficient transport management system. Government and other stakeholders also should build the capacity of freight transport operators through human development programs and allocating resources.

    (Addis Ababa University, 2023-06) Alemayehu Tamene; Busha Temesgen (PhD)
    Global academicians attempt to convince us that supply chains now compete with one another rather than with enterprises. However, logistics practices have emerged as a potentially advantageous way to get a competitive edge by enhancing organizational performances. The major objective of this study was to ascertain how organizational performance of the National Tobacco Enterprise (NTE) was impacted by logistics operations. This research conceptualizes and has built five logistics practices (transportation management, inventory management, warehouse management, supply Management, and distribution management) to evaluate their impact on organizational performance. A descriptive and explanatory research technique was used to analyze the performance of the NTE in regard to the effects of logistics operations. Using stratified purposive sampling, the appropriate samples for the inquiry were selected. It is deduced that a positive and substantial correlation exists between organizational performance, and logistics practices. The ANOVA test result demonstrated the statistical significance of the values of R and R2 obtained under the model summary. A total number of respondents were 46 NTE workers selected by using purposive stratified sampling methods to collect the study data. To ascertain their causal linkages, the postulated ties from the framework were put to the test using descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation, and regression analysis. The results of the investigation show a strong relationship between logistics operations and organizational success. It is crucial for the NTE to give emphasis on the structures of logistics practices to be profitable, satisfy customer needs and be competent over the long term and bring sustainable organizational performance

The study's population was all staff who directly or indirectly engaged in managing EPSS’s tender and a census sampling technique was conducted to gain insight into procurement performance. In this study, descriptive and inferential data analyses were produced. Out of 100 questionnaires 92 responses were valid thus makes the response rate 92%. Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient was computed and accordingly a positive and strong relationship exist between tender award, record management respectively and procurement performance and the variables were found statistically significant. A positive and very strong relationship exist between tender evaluation, tender planning, tender document initiation respectively and procurement performance of medical device as well as all variables were statistically significant. A multiple linear regression analysis was carried out, and the coefficient of determination represented by adjusted R2 showed that the percentage of variance in procurement performance of medical device explained by the predictor variables (tender planning, tender document initiation, tender evaluation, tender award and record management factors) was 85% hence the overall model fit was significant. Based on the study findings, the investigator concludes that strong and positive association exist between procurement performance and tender award, record management factors whereas, very strong and positive association exist between procurement performance and tender planning, tender document initiation, and tender document initiation factors. Furthermore, tender document initiation, tender evaluation, tender planning, tender award, and record management were the most factors affecting procurement performance of medical device with statistically significance level of 1%. The study recommended the organization to implement medical device essence based tender planning, tender document initiation, tender evaluation, tender award and record management practice so that ensures the availability of affordable quality medical devices.
