Performance Evaluation of Micro and Small Industries in East Java Province, Indonesia Using SMA and DEA: A Case Study

Micro- and small-scale industries (MSIs) are the pillars of Indonesia’s national economy. MSIs face several issues as their businesses grow. Performance evaluation is one way to identify MSI’s effectiveness. The research objective is to evaluate the MSI’s performance in East Java Province, Indonesia. It is an effort to improve the MSI's performance. The stepwise modeling approach (SMA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) methods were applied to identify MSIs' effectiveness, determine the classification of inefficient MSIs, and formulate an inefficient MSI development strategy. In the existing SMA concept, the remaining variables in the END step are the selected variables (model X-Y). This study proposes that variables from the initial step to step n+۱ are considered in creating efficiency score models. There are five proposed models, including model ۴X-۳Y, model ۳X-۳Y, model ۳X-۲Y, model ۲X-۲Y, and model ۲X-Y. The research result indicated that the proposed ES model ۳X-۳Y is the best. ۵۴% inefficient and ۴۶% efficient DMUs make up the model ۳X-۳Y. Six cities and fourteen regencies make up the inefficient SMI classification. Cluster_A (۵۰%) consists of four cities and six regencies. Cluster_B (۲۵%) consists of two cities and three regencies. Cluster_C contains two regencies (۱۰%). Cluster_D comprises three regencies (۱۵%).
