A STUDY ON THE PERFORMANCE EFFICIENCY OF CEMENT SECTOR IN INDIA

Chandra Shekhar

Abstract

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used for measuring the relative performance of organizational units where the attendance of multiple inputs and outputs makes comparisons difficult, is non-parametric linear programming based technique. The aim of this paper is to measure the performance of selected cement companies. We collect data of some chosen Cement Industry for years 2011 to 2015, the required data for the year 2016 is not available. Here, we use DEA methodology for a study on the performance efficiency of Cement Industries in India. DEA in operations research and economics for the estimation of production limits. The research is measured productive efficiency of decision making units with best-practice relationship between multiple outputs and multiple inputs to be estimated. The study found the efficient and inefficient companies during the year 2011 to 2015, on the basis of scale efficiency, overall technical efficiency and pure technical efficiency. Here study also shows the how to companies reduce their loss and earn maximum profit in the operation.
