“…In contrast to the results reported here, a previous study claimed that automakers' financial and technical support to partners would reduce supply chain inefficiency [14]. This discrepancy could be explained by differences in the industry environment.…”

“…Saranga [14] investigated the Indian automobile industry; the author described a case in which a small-scale manufacturer at a low level of the supply chain had to make advanced payments for raw materials and receive after-payment for supplied components. Owing to this difficult financing environment, instead of using automated equipment, the manufacturing process was undertaken manually, which caused inefficiency in the operation of automobile suppliers.…”

Abstract:The automobile industry is set to undergo a structural transformation in the progress toward next-generation industries that involve autonomous vehicles and connected cars. Thus, supply chain management has become increasingly important for corporate competitiveness. This study aims to identify opportunities for improving supply chain performance by quantifying the impact of suppliers on the supply chain. An analysis was conducted in two phases. First, the efficiency of 139 partners that supply automobile components to the Hyundai Motor Company was measured using the Charnes-Cooper-Rhodes model, while the efficiency of Hyundai Motor Company's 540 supply chains comprising partners, subsidiaries, and parent companies was measured using the network epsilon-based measure model. Second, the relationship between the partner efficiency and the supply chain efficiency was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and the Tobit regression model. The results showed that efficient operation of partners hampers the efficiency of the total supply chain. Thus, there may be several partners that are not committed to quality improvement, while the Hyundai Motor Company seeks to promote quality management through win-win cooperation with partners. Consequently, automakers must review their partner management system, including their performance measurement and incentive systems.

“…DEA (Cooper et al [5], Ramanathan [6], Thanassoullis [7]) is a well known non-parametric technique that can be used to assess the relative performances of similar decision making units (DMUs). Since its inception by Charnes et al [8], it has been used to evaluate performance in a variety of problems to compare the performance of schools (Ramanathan [9]), health care systems (Roberts et al [10]) and very rare applications like performance of portfolio (Joro and Na [11]), performance of auto component industry (Saranga [12]) etc.…”

United Nations Development Program (UNDP) introduced the Human Development Index (HDI) in 1990 to measure human development of its member countries. Since then United Nations (UN) has been publishing HDI annually in its Human Development Report. The HDI is a composite index calculated on the basis of three major dimensions of human development; longevity, educational attainment and standard of living. To address the issue of regional disparities among the states in the countries in terms of human well beings a method to measure extent of disparity based on optimum combination of the indicators is required. In this paper we reassess the HDI through directional distance formulation of data envelopment analysis (DEA) of Indian states. Here, we re-estimate the HDI by finding relative efficiency of different states of India. Human development is benchmarked on the basis of empirical observations of states with best practice. A new estimation of HDI is made under the same assumptions as that of the original HDI. When the new measure of human development is compared with original HDI, it is found that they are highly correlated. Further, a new procedure, multistage reference technology is introduced to improve the performance of backward states in a stepwise approach. The paper develops a new method for computing HDI that aims at reducing regional disparities systematically.

“…The Small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) have been presented as a hidden giant in the economic growth of India, and it is not an exaggeration. They employ nearly 80% of manpower and create 95% of all companies (Saranga, 2009). Recognizing the market potential, many of the global leaders are shifting their manufacturing units to the developing countries like India (Singh & Khanduja, 2009).…”

This study uses a hybrid scale to identify the factors contributing to internal and external service quality at employer-employee interface in the SMEs of emerging economies like India. 144 shop floor workers and executives working in different SMEs situated in northern India participated in an interview schedule to rate the quality of services being offered to (and delivered by) the employees in such units on 1-5 Likert scale. Application of factor analysis followed by Structural Equation Modelling developed a model showing how organization's HR practices influences employee service quality which consequently leads to Satisfaction and Loyalty which are the established indicators of competitive advantage for such firms. The model is empirically validated using model fit indices and is found satisfactory. This paper thus proposes an empirical framework for the measurement of employee service quality in a relatively less explored sector. This study finds support for strengthening relationships with employees to achieve a culture of achievement in SMEs. The two scales proposed in this study can be used as benchmarks by SME practitioners for evaluation of services being offered to (and delivered by) their employees. The methodology used may be applied in more such settings for evolving a generic and tailor-made scale.
