    Assessment of Logistics System Engineering & Evaluation of Interoperability & Performance of Railway Transport, in the Case of Ethio –Djbouti Railway Transport Share Company/EDR/
    (Addis Ababa University, 2021-12) Getachew, Mekonnen; Temesgen, Busha(PhD)
    Assessment of Logistics system engineering, evaluation of Interoperability and evaluation of logistics performance ,the case of Ethio – Djibouti railways transport service in terms of World Bank logistics performance index were examined. The study assesses the effects of logistics system engineering, Interoperability, efficiency, service quality & competence of logistics service, effectiveness as well as Logistics Performance of rail transport. This study was conducted to assess logistics system engineering, interoperability, rail transportation service on logistics performance using eight dimensions of the problems are assessed and evaluated. The eight dimensions used are , Interoperability, Logistics system engineering, transport financing and logistics performance, service quality and competency of logistics activity, efficiency and effectiveness; and integration of railway transport service. The operations attributed to these logistics performances are cost and speed. The study adopted more the descriptive and explanatory research design in obtaining information about the study topic. The study’s population comprised of EDR/MC local, ESLSE, EMAA, MOTL and ERC staff which were selected in stratified sampling techniques approach. The study approach was both quantitative and qualitative research approach. Questionnaire survey has been conducted on a total of 52 respondents from EDR/MC local, ESLS, EMAA, MOTL representative to model the cause factors of assessment and evaluation of logistics performance using Partial Least Square (PLS) approach via Smartpls V3 software package, to assess the assessment and evaluation of logistics performance and rank the major impacts of logistics performance using Relative Importance Index (RII). In addition, a detailed archival document review was conducted to get the actual essence of assessment and evaluation of logistics performance of EDR . Based on the statistics the correlation analysis, it shows that rail transport service quality and Competence/SQC/ have statistically very extent effect on the logistics performance

    The Effect Of Transport Management Practice On Logistics Performance The Case Of Ethiopian Defense Force Logistics Main Department
    (Addis Ababa University, 2019-05) Gedamu, Getinet; Temesgen, Busha(PhD)
    As part of logistics, transportation has emerged to have huge potential in enhancing production and distribution of goods, personnel, military equipments materials in the organization. Understanding this is very essential and important in defense organization where each and every part of supply chain management is essential for the effectiveness of the entire department in the organization. The department was chosen because it has not been performing well as expected despite in the last three years (2016-2018). The study was guided by the following objectives; to establish the level of implementation of transport management practice on logistics performance, to determine the relation between transport management practices and logistics performance and to identify the challenges in the implementing of transport management practices on logistics performance at LMD. This study was adopted the descriptive and inferential statics on explanatory research design to obtaining the information about the study topic. The study’s population comprised of all logistics main department employees who were selected based on stratified sampling approach. The data was collected by using questionnaire and interview and analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis used by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The study found out that both customer requirement strategy and carrier management practice to low extent and both freight payment and audit practice and transport performance monitoring practice were implemented to a moderate extent. The study further found out that there exists a strong relationship between transport management practice and logistics performance at LMD. The study also found out that there are challenges that limit the effectiveness in the implementation transportation process. The study thus concludes that increase in transport management practice would result in enhanced logistics performance. The study recommends that the management at LMD conduct an evaluation of these strategies, and how exactly they are implemented. The study thus suggests that further studies to be conducted on how these challenges may be addressed. Further research should also be using a different approach in determination of the effect of transportation has in logistics performance
