Abstract

One of the key success factors of the financial institution sustainability is operational efficiencies. Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), this paper measures the relative efficiency of the executing banking units of  people business credit (KUR) program in Indonesia. Sample data of this study were obtained from all banking units from banks providing KUR located in the district of Pati, Central Java - district with the largest KUR receiver. This study consists of two stages of analyses: (1)  it is found that 18 of the 35 banking units (51.43%)  are in the scale efficiency, with units receiving 100% efficiency score being called efficient; (2) an output target is shown for the purpose of maximizing the output of the KUR disbursement without additional inputs.
