Abstract

Transport maintenance depots (TMDs) in Tanzania are crucial for ensuring vehicle reliability and reducing operational costs. A Bayesian hierarchical model was employed to analyse data from multiple depots, accounting for variability across locations and vehicles. The model revealed a significant positive correlation (r = +0.75) between the number of maintenance interventions and subsequent operational efficiency in TMDs. Bayesian hierarchical modelling provided insights into yield improvement strategies that could be implemented to optimise TMD operations for better performance and cost savings. Implementing targeted training programmes for maintenance personnel and adopting predictive analytics can further enhance the model's effectiveness.
