Abstract

Abstract Cane transport system is considered as the most important factor to any cane sugar factory, due to the nature of cane as a raw material, which is very much affected by the time factor. Cane transport system is affected by many factors which reduce its effectiveness and efficiency. This study tries to look into the constraints which faced cane transport in the sugar industry in Sudan during the period ' 3988/89 - 1997/98. The study tackled the following five aspects at the problem: a / The suitability of the inputs used by the operation of the cane transport. b/ The efficiency of the system. ' c/ The role of training on the system. d/ The incentives impacts on the system. e/ The overall efficiency of the system and its role on the sugar industry. To look into cane transport system in the whole industry in Sudan, the harvesting and transporting cane systems in Sinnar Sugar Company, and Kenana Sugar Company Ltd. (KSC) were taken as a good sample. Elements of the inputs of the transport system in both factories were analyzed to see the impact of the system on the efficient running of the factories. The field study of cane transport system of both Sinnar and Kenana Sugar factories gave very reasonable information about the system. The analysis of both systems using the same indicators reflects low effectiveness and efficiency in the transport system in Sinnar Sugar Factory, while reflects high effectiveness of the system in Kenana Sugar Factory. The major factor for this situation being the quality of the inputs of the system in each factory. To raise the efficiency of the sugar industry in Sudan some recommendations were offered to improve cane transport system on the following lines: 9 Improving cane transport system in Kenana Sugar Factory through improving some administrative and financial procedures. ° Improving cane transport system in Sinnar Sugar Factory, and the other Sudanese Sugar Company (SSC) factories, is suggested to be a comprehensive gradual short, medim and long term plans.
