This study estimated the Stochastic Frontier Function and the inefficiency effects model for the Tanzanian industrial SMEs.

The Technical Efficiency (TE) of the Tanzanian Industrial Small and Medium Enterprises (TISMEs) SMEs estimated at 29.59% assuming a Variable Return to Scale(VRS), indicating that those enterprises can increase their production by 70.41% using the same amount of inputs.

It was noted that TISMEsoperating in the field of transportation were the most technically efficient, followed by textiles and clothing, construction, hotel and restaurants.

Furthermore, TE of TISMEs increases as the size of the enterprise increases, and when those enterprises started its activities within the formal sector.

As well, TE of TISMEs is reduced if it works in the hotel and restaurant industry, and if it located at Dar es Salam.

Finally, TE of mediumsized manufacturing enterprises increase if their production is export-oriented, and whenever they are licensed to use technology.
