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 performanceen-USInteroperabilitySystem EngineeringLogistics PerformanceThesis
