Panel data analysis reveals productivity increases and maintenance issues impacting yields in Kenya's industries.

This research evaluates the impact of industrial machinery fleets on productivity and yield improvement in Kenya.
Analysed fixed effects model for different machine types and maintenance practices
Used panel data from five years of records to assess yield outcomes
Employed heteroskedasticity-consistent errors for robustness checks
75% of fleet operations positively correlated with higher yields
20% of yield variance attributed to maintenance lapses
Emphasized the need for optimized fleet management and maintenance strategies

Muthambi et al. (2013) studied this question.
