dc.description.abstractIn this paper, the performance analysis of the Indian auto component industry is carried out from the perspectives of an original equipment manufacturer and a component supplier. Various efficiency measures are estimated using Data Envelopment Analysis with publicly available financial data on a representative sample of 50 firms. The first stage analysis reveals various operational inefficiencies in the auto component industry which are subsequently decomposed into technical, input mix and scale efficiencies. The study finds evidence that a majority of the inefficient firms are operating in the diminishing returns to scale region and demonstrates potential savings through benchmark input targets. A second stage analysis aimed at exploring root causes of inefficiencies finds that substitution of labour for capital could be causing a variety of inefficiencies including the input mix inefficiency in the Indian component industry. The empirical results also suggest that, unlike the global auto supply chain, higher average inventories are required for higher operational efficiencies in the Indian context. Contrary to the popular expectations, the technology licensing does not show significant influence on efficiency, at least in the short term, whereas efficient working capital management does result in higher operational efficiencies. The study also unearths the need to reform labour laws which are significantly contributing to various inefficiencies in the Indian component industry. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
