Abstract
This study addresses a current research gap in Engineering concerning Methodological evaluation of manufacturing plants systems in Ethiopia: quasi-experimental design for measuring cost-effectiveness in Ethiopia. The objective is to formulate a rigorous model, state verifiable assumptions, and derive results with direct analytical or practical implications. A structured analytical approach was used, integrating formal modelling with domain evidence. The results establish bounded error under perturbation, a convergent estimation process under stated assumptions, and a stable link between the proposed metric and observed outcomes. The findings provide a reproducible analytical basis for subsequent theoretical and applied extensions. Stakeholders should prioritise inclusive, locally grounded strategies and improve data transparency. Methodological evaluation of manufacturing plants systems in Ethiopia: quasi-experimental design for measuring cost-effectiveness, Ethiopia, Africa, Engineering, replication study This work contributes a formal specification, transparent assumptions, and mathematically interpretable claims. The maintenance outcome was modelled as $Y<em>{it}=\beta</em>0+\beta<em>1X</em>{it}+u<em>i+\varepsilon</em>{it}$, with robustness checked using heteroskedasticity-consistent errors.
