Effective inventory management plays a pivotal role in the overall performance and functionality of systems across various sectors. In the context of electoral systems, where precision, efficiency, and transparency are paramount, the management of inventory, including the planning, tracking, and control of resources, is of utmost importance. Therefore, the study sought to determine the role of inventory management practices on the performance of electoral systems in Kenya. The research design that was used in this study was a longitudinal research design. The population for this study consisted of 373 Commission Secretary/Chief Executive Officer (CS/CEO), Deputy Commission Secretary (DCS), Directors, Managers, County Election Managers, and Constituency Election Coordinators within 290 constituencies of Kenya's August 2017 election. A total of 373 respondents were used as the sample size for the study. Data was used as primary and secondary. While self-administered questionnaire and interview guide were used to collect primary data, the study reviewed the previous evaluation reports to seek the secondary data on General election performance. The data was collected and then analyzed by both descriptive and inferential statistical tools. Being that the study dealt with the relationship study, the study therefore used a regression model as a tool of analysis and the results that were generated were presented in the form of tables. The results of this study benefited policy makers, managers, administrators, citizens all whole, researchers, consultants, scholars, and trainers involved in Election Administration. This study tested the null hypotheses that inventory management practices had no significant role in the performance of electoral systems in Kenya. Pragmatism paradigm approach and mixed method research were adopted in this study. The questionnaire tested both validity and reliability. Quantitative and qualitative techniques were used to analyze the collected data with the assistance of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 25. Multiple regression and correlation analysis were carried out. The regression analysis results demonstrated a strong and significant role of inventory management practices on the performance of electoral systems. The R-squared values indicated that approximately 79% of the variation in electoral system performance was explained by inventory management practices. The adjusted R-squared value of 0.788 accounted for the number of predictors in the model. In conclusion, the study reveals that efficient inventory management practices significantly influence the performance of electoral systems in Kenya, emphasizing the need for standardized handling, storage, and transportation processes, the adoption of technology-driven monitoring systems, centralized inventory management, just-in-time approaches, regular cycle counting, and continuous improvement efforts.

Elections are becoming democracy's bedrock. Even before the great development of African states were created, antagonists attempted to corrupt, undermine, or otherwise disrupt democracy by seeking to subvert elections. The threats on the electoral process are as old as the vote itself: from adversarial governments, terrorist organizations, strikers for the Boss Tweed vote, people who try to wreak havoc hence the survival of democracy demands for the protection of elections. As a consequence, after the 90s Election Administration in African nations, the tendency of some individuals to impede elections has not changed, mentioning a number of electoral fraud cases in the history of African States. In recent years, some of the tactics of such attempts to overthrow democracy have become distinct. Attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in digital networks today improve conventional approaches and have become an increasingly successful strategy.

The use of reverse logistics improves the corporate image and environmental performance, which in turn leads to a firms’ competitive advantage. However, in the wake of increasing environmental pollution and climate change, the use of reverse logistics in footwear manufacturing firms remains low. The performance of footwear manufacturing firms in Kenya has been declining over the years. The objective was to assess effect of reverse logistics on performance of footwear manufacturing firms in Kenya. This study made use of cross-sectional study design. The unit of analysis was all the 16 footwear manufacturing firms in Kenya. The unit of observation comprised of the managers in four departments, which include marketing, procurement/supply chain, operations and store in footwear manufacturing firms in Kenya. The target population was 64 marketing, procurement/supply chain, operations and store managers in the 16 footwear manufacturing firms in Kenya. The study used a census approach and hence involved the entire target population of 16 footwear manufacturing firms with 4 respondents from each firm. The study made use of primary data. Primary data was collected by use of semi-structured questionnaires comprising of closed ended and open ended questions. Qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis. The questionnaires generated quantitative data. Inferential and descriptive statistics were used for quantitative data analysis with the help of SPSS version 25 statistical software. Descriptive statistics included frequency distribution, percentages, standard deviation and mean. Inferential statistics included regression and correlation analysis. The study findings were displayed in figures (bar charts and pie charts) and tables. The study found that reverse logistics has a positive and significant effect on the performance of footwear manufacturing firms in Kenya. This study recommends that the management should adopt reusable packaging, recycling, repackaging and product return to help in lowering material costs hence improving profit and the performance of the firm. Moreover, reverse logistics adds value, reduces risk and ensures a continuous movement of goods.

Value chains have been increasingly facing various challenges such as poor performance, less competitiveness, inefficient value chain management, scarce resources, waste accumulation, high material cost, disposal and lack of sustainability. Recycling practices have been identified as one of the techniques that can be used to optimize these value chains. The main objective of this study was to establish the role of recycling practices on value chain performance in the food and beverage industry in Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive research design and the target population was 291 companies in the food and beverage industry. The sample population involved 74 companies in the food and beverage industry. Self-administered structured questionnaires were used to collect primary data. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study found that value chain performance was influenced positively and significantly by recycling practices and most of the food and beverage firms in the industry that are implementing recycling practices are doing so as a way of reducing the operational costs and optimizing value chain performance. This research was based on recycling practices and value chain performance in the food and beverage industry in Kenya and there is a need to undertake similar studies in retail or commercial sectors and in other countries to uncover the underlying relationships between recycling practices and value chain performance and the findings may identify interesting comparisons. This study adds to existing research on the subject of recycling practices and value chain performance as it reveals that recycling practices are necessary to promote optimization of the performance of the value chains. Based on the current Literature, studies focusing on the implementation of the recycling practices are limited. There is no study that is linking recycling practices and value chain performance of the food and beverage industry. Therefore, this is a pioneering study in both content and context.

Across the globe, many local governments face a financial crisis occasioned by their inability to raise sufficient revenue to finance their operation and meet the needs of their people. As a result, most of the local governments end up being over reliant on funds transfers from the central government to remain operational. To alleviate the weakness in revenue collection, the use of agents/third parties to collect revenue on behalf of the local authorities (commonly referred to as outsourcing) has gained popularity in recent years all over the world. To enhance their revenue performance, many of the governments around the world have sought to outsource their tax services. In view of this, the current study sought to establish the impact of outsourcing tax services on revenue collection performance among County Governments in Kenya.Specifically, the study explored the impact of outsourcing of ticketing services, outsourcing of property rates collection and outsourcing of licencing on revenue collection performance among Counties in Kenya.The study used a descriptive research design. The target population of the study was the 47 Sub County Revenue Collection Units in Kenya.The study utilized secondary data which was collected using a Secondary Data Collection Sheet. The study data was analyzed through descriptive statistics and presented through percentages, frequencies, mean and standard deviation. In addition, the study applied the ANOVA test and F ratio at a significance level of 5% to test the study’s null hypothesis that there was no difference between pre and post IT outsourcing revenue collection performance.The statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS version 23.0).The study findings were presented in tables. The study found that the difference between the pre and post outsourcing of ticketing services, property rates and licencing revenue collections among Counties in Kenya was statistically significant.The study findings also showed that the increase in the mean values of revenue collected from ticketing services, property rates and licencing was higher in the post-outsourcing period than in the pre-outsourcing period.The study concluded that outsourcing of ticketing services, property rates collection and licencing had a significant impact on the revenue collection performance among Counties in Kenya. To continually improve its revenue collection performance, the study recommends that the administration of County Government in Kenya.should consider outsourcing revenue collections from sources that are not yet outsourced. Further, the County Government should continually review its outsourced revenue collection functions in order to ensure that they are meeting the intended objective of helping the county maximize its revenue collection performance.
在全球范围内，许多地方政府都面临着财政危机，这是由于它们无法筹集到足够的收入来资助它们的运作和满足人民的需求。因此，大多数地方政府最终都过度依赖中央政府的资金转移来维持运作。为了缓解税收征管的不足，近年来，利用代理人/第三方代表地方政府征管税收(通常称为外包)在世界各地越来越受欢迎。为了提高税收绩效，世界上许多政府都寻求将税收服务外包。鉴于此，本研究试图确定外包税收服务对肯尼亚县政府税收征收绩效的影响。具体而言，该研究探讨了票务服务外包、财产税征收外包和许可证发放外包对肯尼亚各县税收绩效的影响。本研究采用描述性研究设计。该研究的目标人群是肯尼亚47个次县税收单位。该研究利用了二手数据，这些数据是使用二手数据收集表收集的。研究数据通过描述性统计进行分析，并通过百分比、频率、平均值和标准差表示。此外，本研究采用方差分析检验和显著性水平为5%的F比率来检验研究的零假设，即IT外包收入征收绩效前后没有差异。统计分析使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS version 23.0)进行。研究结果以表格形式列出。研究发现，肯尼亚各县之间的票务服务外包前后、物业费率和执照收入之间的差异在统计上是显著的。研究结果亦显示，外发服务后，从票务服务、物业差饷及牌照所获收入的平均增幅，较外发服务前为高。研究得出的结论是，票务服务、财产税征收和许可证发放的外包对肯尼亚各县的税收绩效产生了重大影响。为了不断提高其税收绩效，该研究建议肯尼亚县政府的行政管理。应考虑从尚未外包的来源外包收入。此外，县政府应不断审查其外包的税收职能，以确保它们符合帮助县政府最大限度地提高其税收绩效的预期目标。

Vendor Managed Inventory practices play a major role in the operation of many organizations. These practices help to improve firm’s production scheduling, Information sharing, Stock replenishment and ultimately increase its operational performance. With the reported 46.4% of state corporations making losses, achieving Vision 2030 would be impossible without a critical look into how some of the practices including Vendor Managed Inventory. This study intended to fill this knowledge gap by examining the influence of Vendor Managed Inventory on operational performance of stores function in commercial state corporations in Kenya. The study was anchored on the Network Theory. The target population for the study was 906 Senior Management, Procurement Managers and Inventory Management Officers in the 54 Commercial State Corporations in Kenya. The researcher used the sampling formula recommended by Nassiuma to arrive at 99 sample size. Data collection was done through a structured open and closed ended questionnaire. Before embarking on data collection, the instruments were piloted to ensure they are valid and reliable. The study established significant influence of maintained Vendor Managed Inventory practices on operation performance of stores functions. The study recommendation that Kenyan commercial state enterprises to continue allowing their inventory providers to participate in inventory management. The vendors should synchronize inventory classification with the companies, supply goods based on demand forecasts, and advise on inventory control. These guidelines will help vendors manage inventory to meet store operating requirements for the corporations' smooth operation. The companies should also create internal vendor-managed inventory management procedures to improve inventory flow and store operations. This can be achieved by corporations giving vendors with replenishment information on agreed timelines and integrating suppliers in product design processes to develop acquired inventories that meet their ultimate goal. Inventory and demand data should be provided to vendors in advance for timely delivery. The organizations should also allow vendors to develop products in time for shop operations. Corporate partners should provide technical support to vendors to achieve quality inventories and store function operations performance.

In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of diversity and inclusivity in supply chain management. This includes a focus on promoting diversity and inclusivity within the workforce, as well as in the supply chain itself. Governments while deploying public funds for the provision of goods, works and services have realized the need to use supply chain function to advance social and economic development by ensuring the inclusion of otherwise excluded. However, there is little research done to establish whether inclusivity practices improve organization performance. This study therefore sought to establish the influence of supply chain inclusivity on the performance of state corporations in the energy sector. Specifically, the study aimed at determining the influence of discriminatory procurement, stakeholder involvement, supply chain diversity and supply chain integration on performance of state corporations in the energy sector in Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The target population for this study was nine (9) State Corporations operating in the Energy sector in Kenya. Due to the limited number of target population, a census approach was adopted. Thus, all the 9 state corporations operating in Energy sector were included. The research purposefully targeted employees in the procurement and finance departments. A total of 20 employees were involved per organization arriving at a total of 180 respondents. A questionnaire was used in collecting data. With the study being quantitative in nature, both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were employed. The study used SPSS version 26 to facilitate the analysis of data. Inferential data analysis was done using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis method. Data was presented using a combination of statistical techniques and graphical techniques. The study established that jointly, discriminatory procurement, stakeholder involvement, supply chain diversity and supply chain integration influence the performance of state corporations in the energy sector. The study recommends that state corporations should institutionalize procurement plans with a total reservation of at least 30% of the procurement budget to the special groups. The study also recommends that state corporations should authenticate tender awards and purchase orders and enter into agreements with relevant financing institutions with an undertaking that the contracted special enterprises be paid through the account opened with the financier. Consequently, the study recommends that local firms be offered more protection to enable them stand chance against the mega global entities. Further, the study recommends for involvement of citizens, local communities and civil society organizations in the process of purchasing goods and services by the state corporations through provision of input on procurement plans, monitoring procurement processes, and providing
近年来，人们越来越认识到供应链管理中多样性和包容性的重要性。这包括注重促进劳动力以及供应链本身的多样性和包容性。各国政府在部署公共资金提供商品、工程和服务的同时，已经意识到需要利用供应链功能，通过确保将被排除在外的人纳入其中，来促进社会和经济发展。然而，很少有研究来确定包容性实践是否能提高组织绩效。因此，本研究试图确定供应链包容性对能源部门国有企业绩效的影响。具体而言，该研究旨在确定歧视性采购、利益相关者参与、供应链多样性和供应链一体化对肯尼亚能源部门国有企业绩效的影响。本研究采用描述性调查设计。这项研究的目标人群是肯尼亚能源部门的九(9)家国有公司。由于目标人口数量有限，采用了人口普查的方法。因此，在能源部门运营的所有9家国有企业都包括在内。本研究有针对性地针对采购部门和财务部门的员工。每个组织共有20名员工参与，总共有180名受访者。在收集数据时采用了问卷调查。由于研究是定量的，因此采用了描述性统计和推理统计。本研究使用SPSS version 26进行数据分析。采用Pearson相关系数法和多元回归分析法对数据进行分析。数据采用统计技术和图形技术相结合的方式呈现。研究发现，联合采购、歧视性采购、利益相关者参与、供应链多样性和供应链整合对国有企业在能源领域的绩效有影响。该研究建议，国有企业应将采购计划制度化，至少将采购预算的30%保留给特殊群体。该研究还建议，国有企业应对中标和采购订单进行认证，并与相关金融机构签订协议，承诺通过在融资机构开立的账户向签约的特殊企业付款。因此，该研究建议为本地公司提供更多保护，使它们有机会与大型全球实体竞争。此外，该研究建议公民、当地社区和民间社会组织参与国有企业采购货物和服务的过程，为采购计划提供投入，监督采购过程，并对所购货物和服务的质量提供反馈。根据本研究的结果，建议国有企业有效地接受供应链多样性，需要访问并减轻可能阻碍供应链过程中公平待遇、公平和正义的任何障碍和瓶颈。研究还建议国有企业探索和采用先进的新兴技术来交换供应链战略信息，以改善供应链合作伙伴之间的关系和整合。该研究进一步建议在供应链内进行合作，允许企业通过结合核心竞争力和专业知识来合作，因为企业从合作中获得的利益比单个企业单独获得的利益更多。

This research paper aimed at establishing the relationship between Buffer stocks Practices and supply chain leverage of sugar manufacturing firms in Kenya. The specific objective of the study was; to determine the effect of buffer stocks practices on supply chain leverage of sugar manufacturing firms in Kenya. The research study was anchored on supply chain road map theory. The research study methodology followed a descriptive approach where; the target population of the study was 241 respondents. A census survey was conducted on all the 15 registered sugar manufacturing firms in Kenya. From the study, 20 respondents were selected for the pilot study, constituting 8%, which is within the recommended range of, 1% to 10% of the population. Data collected was analyzed by both descriptive and inferential statistics using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS Version 28). Descriptive statistics involved calculation of means, frequencies, percentages and standard deviation. Model diagnostic tests such as Normality test, Multicollinearity, Heteroskedastity were also executed for determination of fitness of regression models. Inferential statistics further included the use of Pearson correlation coefficient to determine the extent of relationship between the independent study variables, while multiple regression analysis was used to establish the relationship between dependent variable and independent variables. The results from the analyzed data were then presented using figures, charts, tables and histograms to facilitate data interpretation. Findings from data analysis indicated that green stocks practices significantly affect supply chain leverage of sugar manufacturing firms in Kenya. This yielded a regression model Y = 2.507 + 0.117X. The findings from the regression models indicated that buffer stocks practices, significantly affected supply chain leverage of sugar manufacturing firms in Kenya. The study further recommended that sugar manufacturing firms in Kenya, to keep buffer stocks to overcome any uncertainties in the demand and supply markets and support continuous production even with seasonal variation in the supply of raw materials to ensure full capacity of operations, production efficiency, cost control and environmental protection. As a result idle time for the machines and people will be completely zero rated, through continued production process without a halt, even when there is shortage of raw materials in the market, hence continued supply of sugar products in the market.
