The job creation element of SMEs enables many poor people to feel more secure, assuring that they have a stable job to survive .But the actual situation and overall working condition of SME's is very dreadful especially due to limitation of resources, facilities and techniques. This paper compares different performance criteria on three different SME and indicates a standard benchmark SME using fuzzy-TOPSIS analysis. The proposed method states optimum SME working condition among different performance variables with different values. Qualitative variables with multiple criteria problems have been analyzed here.

Moreover, the paper offers a new method of identifying best SME using integrated fuzzy-TOPSIS and recommends optimum performance variables.\par Keywords: fuzzy, multi-criteria problem, TOPSIS. a) Purposes of SMEs he small and medium manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) manufactures a great number of metal products every day. Manufacturing SME has a big contribution from repairing metal parts to manufacturing complex parts. There is wide range of activities behind the manufacturing system, from raw material to finished product until the product is used by customer or recycled. One of the most important roles of SMEs is poverty alleviation through job creation. The developed as well as developing countries are taking extreme benefits from SMEs and that are capable to accelerate the economy of any country. In developing countries, SMEs are major source of income. The following {\ref Sarkis (2006)} found that early adoption and increased investment in environment risk management did not increase performance for small firms in the metal finishing industry. Paying particular attention to the needs of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), Project Acorn by Gascoigne j. provides a framework for the systematic management of environmental issues within individual organizations and the supply chains to which they belong {\ref [1]}. {\ref Toyli et al. (2008)} analyzed the relationship between logistics performance and financial performance in Finnish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Several studies in South Africa {\ref (Mutezo, 2006;} {\ref Maas and Herrington, 2006;} {\ref Angela and Motsa, 2006;} {\ref Herrington et al., 2008;} {\ref Musara and Fatoki, 2011)} have alluded to lack of access to financing as one of the major challenges impeding the survival and growth in the SME sector. {\ref Wagner, B. A. et al. (2003)} worked on E-business and Esupply chain strategy in small and medium sized businesses (SMEs). In a study in India's machine tools SMEs, Pillai (2010) found that proper inventory management practices results in lower inventory costs. In another study, {\ref Lee (2006)} revealed that many Chinese small manufacturing firms face size-related difficulties in implementing JIT. Lee suggested that Chinese small firms can achieve their goals by implementing only feasible elements of JIT without too much capital investment. {\ref Bayraktar, E. et al. (2009)} made a causal analysis of the impact of information systems and supply chain management practices on operational performance having evidence from manufacturing SMEs in Turkey. {\ref Bhagwat, R., \& Sharma, M. K. (2006)} worked on Management and practice of information system in Indian SMEs. While it is acknowledged that large firms have an advantage for adopting sustainable practices more than SMEs and that SMEs adoption is necessary in the long run, studies found that the rate of return on early adoption is not encouraging. Banomyong, R., \& Supatn, N. (2011) developed supply chain performance tool for SMEs in Thailand. There is also a vast literature on business success of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). {\ref Audretsch (2005)} showed the relationship between ownership, decision making and employee deployment and the performances of the SMEs. In a research study on SME's in Indonesia {\ref (Robert, 2007)} founded that SMEs operate on traditional lines in marketing. Strict reaction on account of competition should be responded proactively by SMEs by doing business development and research Information access it stands for the availability of business information is also important to initiate new enterprises and to run the existing enterprise profitably. Technology also plays an important role in this respect. Technology has a close relationship with improvement of production process. Different studies have also revealed the similar results that lack of new technology and equipment are hindrances of SME development {\ref (Swierczek \& Ha, 2007)}. In Indonesian study it was revealed that business has no sufficient relation with the success of an SME {\ref (Huggins, 2007)}. \section[{d) Contribution of This Paper}]{d) Contribution of This Paper}\par Works on SME were seen frequent formerly. While it is acknowledge that large firms have an advantage for adopting change discussed above where SMEs have no option but SMEs adoption is necessary. More research is thus needed on how SMEs should approach to a standard performance. In this paper standard alternative has been selected incorporation with TOPSIS and fuzzy analysis.\par It is a common problem found in many cases of quantitative decision making the human assessments is uncertain and it is often difficult for decision makers to supply exact numerical values for specific criteria. In this regard most of the selection parameters can't be given precisely and the evaluation data of alternatives' characteristics is expressed in linguistic term by the decision makers. Moreover human judgment on qualitative attributes is always subjective and thus imprecise. For the sake of modeling this type of characteristics in case of human approach, fuzzy logic could be the best means.\par There are many more operational tools for this type of analysis. Among those TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) is applied to solve this type of multi-criteria problem. TOPSIS method is developed by {\ref Hwang and Yoon (1981)} based on the concept that the chosen alternative should have the shortest distance from the positive ideal solution and the farthest from the negative ideal solution for solving a multi-criteria decision making problem. Briefly the positive ideal solution is made up of all the best values attainable of criteria, whereas the negative is composed of all worst values attainable of criteria.\par The rest of the paper is organized as follows: Section 2 consists of briefly discussion on SME and G fuzzy-TOPSIS. Methodology is discussed in section 3. Rest of the paper is comprised of calculation, result\& discussion and conclusion. There is also reference and appendix annexed at the last portion.\par The fuzzy TOPSIS approach involves fuzzy assessments of criteria and alternatives in TOPSIS {\ref (Hwang and Yoon, 1981)} [2]. The TOPSIS approach chooses alternative that is closest to the positive ideal solution and farthest from the negative ideal solution. A positive ideal solution is composed of the best performance values for each criterion whereas the negative ideal solution consists of the worst performance values. The various steps of fuzzy TOPSIS are presented as follows:\par ? Step 1: Assignment of ratings to the criteria and the alternatives Let us assume there are J possible candidates called A = \{A 1 , A 2 ???. A j \} which are to evaluate against n criteria, C = \{C 1 , C 2 ??????.C i \}. The criteria weights are denoted by w= (1, 2, 3,?????m). The performance ratings of each decision maker D=(1,2,3????k) for each alternative A j (j=1,2,3???n) with respect to criteria C i (i=1,2,3??..m) are denoted by R k =X ijk (i=1,2,3?m; J=1,2,3?n; K=1,2,3??..k) with membership function µ rk (x) ? Step 2 : Compute aggregate fuzzy ratings for the criteria and the alternatives. If the fuzzy ratings of all decision makers is described as triangular fuzzy number R k =(a k , b k , c k ) K=1,2,3??.k; then the aggregated fuzzy rating is given by R=(a, b, c), K=1,2,3??k wherea=min \{a k \}, b= 1 ? ? ? ? ?=1 k , c=max \{c k \} (1)\par If the fuzzy rating and importance weight of the k th decision maker are X ijk =(a ijk ,b ijk ,cijk) and Wi jk =(w jk1 ,w jk2 ,w jk3 ); i=1,2,3?..m; j=1,2,3??n; respectively ,then the aggregated fuzzy ratings (X ij ) of alternatives with respect to each criteria are given by X ji =(a ij ,b ij ,c ij ) wherea ij =min\{a ijk \}, b ij = 1 ? ? ? ? ?=1 ijk , ; c ij =max \{c ijk \} (2)\par The aggregated fuzzy weights (W ij ) of each criterion are calculated as w j = (w j1 ,w j2 ,w j3 ) where x 11 ? ? 1? ? ? ? ? ?1 ? ? ?? ] i=1,d * i = ? ? ? ?=1 v (v ij ,v * j ) i=1,2,3??..m (9) d -i = ? ? ? ?=1 v (v ij ,v -j ) i=1,2,3??..m\textbf{(} \section[{G}]{G}\par In order to identify the causes behind the production quality three SMEs were observed. Then some fundamental points were selected. The points were of two types: qualitative and quantitative. Even menial errors were tried to be overcome, so before taking the data they were checked and rechecked. There were some categorizations set for quantitative data analysis. Criteria weights are calculated as the triangular fuzzy numbers and then these fuzzy criteria weights are inserted to the fuzzy TOPSIS methodology to rank the alternatives.\par The data were taken on the following points: Working space(in sq. ft.), light (in lumen), salary of workers, age of machines, cutting tool quality, maintenance of machines, waste disposal system, basement space, floor quality, welding rod, safety measures, handling equipment ,working conditions, amount of work per hour, amount of scrap material, quality of material used etc.\par Then using fuzzy logic the qualitative and quantitative data analysis was performed.\par The Process flow diagram is described below: \hyperref[tab_5]{(1, 3, 5, 1, 3, 5, 1, 3, 5)} \section[{=1}]{=1}\par It is shown for the first element. Similarly others were calculated.\par According to equation no. 4 normalized fuzzy was calculated represented in table 4. For the Alternative 1; a 11 = 7/9 = 0.78 For the Alternative 2;\par (For Benefit Criteria) a 21 = 3/9 = 0.33 For the Alternative 3; a 31 = 5/9 = 0.56\par It is shown for the first element. Similarly others were calculated. According to equation no. 5 For Alternative 1; a 13 , 1= 1/5 =0.20 For Alternative 2;\par (For Cost criteria) a 13 , 2= 1/1 =1 For Alternative 3; a 13 , 3= 1/1 =1 It is shown for the first element. Similarly others were calculated.\par At the Table {\ref no}.5 the weighted normalized matrix was calculated from equation ( {\ref 6} \section[{G}]{G}\par The fuzzy positive ideal solution (FPIS) was Calculated by using equation ( {\ref 7}).\par Max (a 11 ) =Max (2.33, 5.00, 7.00, 1.00, 2.78, 5.44, 1.67, 3.89, 7.00) =7.00;\par It is shown for the first element. Similarly others were calculated.\par The distance of each alternative from FPIS and FNIS was calculated using equation following equation.d (a, b) = ? 1 3 [(? 1 ? ? 1 ) 2 + (? 1 ? ? 2 ) 2 + (? 1 ? ? 3 ) 2 ] (12)\par For Alternative 1(D-), using equation 12.d (a 11 ) = ? 1 3 [(1 ? 2.33) 2 + (1 ? 5) 2 + (1 ? 7) 2 ] =?17.93 =4.23\par It is shown for the first element. Similarly others were calculated. \section[{At table no.7}]{At table no.7}\par For Alternative 1(D+), using equation 12. For Alternative 1 calculation of (cc); cc = 63.25/ (63.25+78.57) = 0.446 =44.60\%.\par It is shown for the first element. Similarly others were calculated.\par Table {\ref no}. 8 shows the final result. There are three values for three alternatives. The alternative having highest value is the best, hereby standard among all. The analysis shows "alternative 1'' as the standard manufacturing SME (small and medium enterprise).So the best possible alternative is "alternative 1. It is said in previous section that, on qualitative characteristics human assessment is uncertain and often subjective so the alternative characteristics are expressed in linguistic terms. There were some characters tics which were qualitative, but due to simplicity they were also transferred to quantitative. And for the purpose of confidentiality the real name of the manufacturing SMEs were not disclosed.\par For the selection of the best alternative the proposed method is a unique one. As the best is selected by the analysis then is can be said as standard. So changing the others comparing to it can make them well efficient in production. So drastically change is not needed for SMEs. The proposed method will help the SMEs to cope with the competition in the era of industrialization. To our knowledge no previous work investigated such a solution with TOPSIS and fuzzy analysis. As the proposed method is novel, it might be applied to other MADM problem. \section[{G}]{G}\par International Journal of Management Science, 35(4), 417-431. 12.
