The findings show that more than half of the respondents (56.9%) strongly agreed that the VFDM system does not have any problems performing each transaction. The majority of the study participants (57.8%) strongly agreed that the level of efficiency increases during the day, while most of the respondents (44.9%) agreed that VFDM performance in the field is efficient and predictable.
