A methodological evaluation reveals significant efficiency gains from process-control systems in Rwanda, suggesting potential for industrial improvements.

Key Points

This study evaluates the impact of process-control systems on efficiency in Rwanda's industrial sector, aiming to quantify performance gains.
Constructed a balanced panel dataset from industrial and construction sector records.
Measured efficiency using a multi-input, single-output stochastic frontier model.
Applied fixed-effects regression for analysis with cluster-robust standard errors.
Adoption of process-control systems led to a mean efficiency gain of 17.3% (95% CI: 14.1% to 20.5%).
Gains were larger in continuous manufacturing compared to discrete assembly operations.
Model robustness confirmed through sensitivity analyses.
