Improving Fleet Management System: A Case Of Oromia Transport Authority Office

Abstract

Fleet Management Refers To The Overall Actions That Take Place To Keep A Fleet Running Efficiently, On Time, And Within Budget. It Can Be Defined As The Processes Used By Fleet Managers To Monitor Fleet Activities And Make Decisions From Asset Management, Dispatch And Routing, And Vehicle Acquisition And Disposal. It Helps Organization Ensure Compliance, Improve Efficiency, And Reduce Costs. The Purpose Of The Thesis Was To Assessing The Existing Fleet Management System Of The Organization, Rectifying The Identified Problem Areas, And Key Potential Areas For The Improvement Of The System. In Order To Achieve The Goal Of The Study, The Researcher Mainly Used Quantitative Data Analysis Techniques. Descriptive Statistics Such As Mean, Percentage And Frequency Were Used In The Form Of Table, Chart, Graph, And Other Necessary Methods Were Used To Analyze The Raw Data. From The Total Population Of 250 Employs 200 Sample Was Used By Using Availability Sampling Techniques. The Study Incorporates Four Independent Variables In Which All Of Them Was Measured On A 5-Point Likert-Scale, With ?�?1?�? Stands For ?�?Strongly Disagree?�?, ?�?2?�? Stands For ?�?Disagree?�?, ?�?3?�? Stands For ?�?Neutral?�?, ?�?4?�? Stands For ?�?Agree?�?, And ?�?5?�? Stands For ?�?Strongly Agree?�?. Apparently, Mean Was Used As A Measure Of Central Tendency. The Study Also Found A Positive Correlation Among The Four Of The Variables (Repair And Maintenance, Fuel Management, Vehicle Tracking And Drivers?�? Management). Regarding The Correlation, It Is Possible To Conclude That There Is A Strong And Positive Relationship Among The Four Variables Which This Study Was Relied. Based On The Result Of Study Operational Efficiency Of The Transport Is Weak. The Office Should Have To Give A Critical Emphasis On Assigning Adequate Budget For Fuel Cost And Should Manage Fuel Consumption And Maintenance Scheduling Properly Through Developed Better Financial System And By Recruited Well Educated Manager By Giving Training For The Employs Of The Fleet Department.
