The adoption of process-control systems in Ugandan industries has been slow due to varying levels of technical understanding and investment risks. The study employed a time-series analysis model to forecast future adoption trends based on historical data from selected industries. Robust uncertainty estimates were incorporated using bootstrapping techniques to account for model variability. A significant proportion of manufacturing firms (35%) showed an upward trend in adopting process-control systems over the next five years, with a predicted confidence interval ranging between 28% and 41%. The time-series forecasting models demonstrated reasonable accuracy in predicting adoption rates but highlighted varying levels of uncertainty across different sectors. Further research should focus on understanding factors influencing sector-specific adoptions to enhance model precision.
