| dc.description.abstract | Fleet management plays a very significant role as it manages the flow of goods along the supply chain and therefore helps in controlling supply chain costs. Fleet management systems describe the main characteristics of the various types of fleet management applications in use. Such areas include maintenance and repair, fuel management speed management, vehicle scheduling and routing, driver management and monitoring and tracking. The main objective of this study is to assess fleet management practice of the selected UN agencies found in Ethiopia. The study used descriptive research design and also used mixed approach of both quantitative and qualitative data method. The data instruments of this study has incorporated both primary and secondary source of data. The target population for this study was mainly involved in fleet management department for the selected UN agencies in Ethiopia and the study used all the total population of the study with a total of 42 respondents was selected. Out of 42 total populations 34 valid responses were collected and analyzed. The researcher used statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS 20.0) for the data analysis and get the required analysis results for study. The researcher also presents the results by using descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, charts, tables and other related statistical data presentation techniques. The major finding of the study indicates that, there are challenges in facing component failure and accident, problems of monitoring, tracking, routing and scheduling and lack of driver training program for the selected UN agencies. To conclude this study, there are no mechanisms of monitoring, tracking and routing of vehicle and no regular preventive maintenance and repair. The results indicate that the agencies should be considering the importance of monitoring, tracking and routing of vehicles in implementing current technology like GPS and should have used software technology to properly track vehicle movement for better decision making process. | en_US |
