DEA is a robust mathematical tool for evaluation of efficiency of SMEs. DEA basically, takes into account the input and output components of a decision making unit (DMU) to calculate technical efficiency (TE). TE is treated as an indicator for performance of DMUs and comparison has been made among them. A sensitivity analysis has been carried out to study the robustness of the ranking of SMEs obtained through DEA. A total of 41 Indian companies who are producing auto components are chosen for benchmarking purpose. The average score of efficiency is 0.565with a standard deviation of 0.315 when Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (CCR) model is used. Similarly, when the Banker, Charnes and Cooper (BCC) model is used the average score is 0.751 with a standard deviation of 0.246. The rank order correlation coefficient between the efficiency ranking obtained through CCR and BCC model is 0.763 (p=0.000) which is significant. The peer group and peer weights for the inefficient SMEs have UR - http://library.ediindia.ac.in:8181/xmlui/handle/123456789/49 ER -
