Evaluation of the Digital Transformation in Engineering Management in Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Transport and Logistics Service

Abstract

This thesis examines the digital transformation initiatives within the Ministry of Transport and Logistics Service in Saudi Arabia, focusing on engineering management practices. The study aims to assess the impact of digital transformation on engineering management processes, evaluating the efficiency and transparency of technological advancements specifically in the Ministry's engineering department. A quantitative methodology is used, using online questionnaire surveys to gather insights from stakeholders, government officials, engineers, and IT professionals involved in the digital transformation initiatives within engineering department of Ministry of Transport and Logistics. Hence, the quantitative measures were employed to assess key performance indicators, such as project timelines, cost efficiency, and resource allocation, before and after the implementation of digital tools. The findings of this research contribute to existing literature on digital transformation in the public sector, offering insights into challenges and successes in engineering management. Recommendations will be provided, guiding future strategies for digital transformation in government engineering projects and shedding light on best practices for similar initiatives in the broader context of public administration
