dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study is to assess the asset management practices on of Addis
Ababa light railway network. To achieve this, a total of 96 questionnaires were
distributed to employees as one of primary data collection method. Out of which 80
usable questionnaires were collected back and the total response rate for the study
was 83.3 % in total. As a result, the paper’s findings were drawn from the 80
questionnaires. The study has been conducted based on the case study research
design. Interview, observation and secondary data were also among the tools used for
gathering qualitative and quantitative data in this research. The qualitative data are
presented using narrative and also the quantitative data presented using frequnecyof
response mean and standard Deviations. Results in general indicated that 60% of
employees have positive response to the question raised about asset management
elements. There are variations on the level of employee’s position towards each
question. It is found that there is some indication of asset management practice in the
organization. However, it isn’t well-built to put the organization on competitive and
profitable situation. The key challenges to implement asset management in this
organization are found as: lack of well educated engineers/ expertise, no proper
system, material mismanagement and improperly recorded information. It is
recommended that the organization should build the capacity of its employee with
continuing professional’s development program to develop their competence. Also,
the organization should have its own information management system, planned
operation and maintenance strategy for successful asset management practice. | en_US |
