Abstract
The transport maintenance depots in Senegal are critical infrastructure for ensuring vehicle reliability and safety across various sectors including transportation and public services. A randomized field trial was conducted in Senegal's transport maintenance depots. The study employed statistical models to analyse data from pre- and post-intervention periods, including logistic regression for predicting yield improvements based on depot performance metrics. The analysis revealed a significant increase (p < 0.01) of 25% in service delivery times following the implementation of improved maintenance protocols, indicating enhanced operational efficiency. The randomized field trial demonstrated that strategic interventions within Senegalese transport maintenance depots can significantly improve yield performance. Further research should focus on scaling up these improvements and exploring their impact across different sectors to ensure sustainable service delivery.
