Improving efficiency of decision making units through BSC-DEA technique

A Layer DEA Model for Measuring and Improving the Efficiency in the Presence of Special Decision Making Units

In the evaluation of non-efficient units by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) referenced Decision Making Units (DMU’s) have an important role. Unfortunately DMU’s with extra ordinary output can lead to a monopoly in a reference set, the fact called abnormality due to the outliers' data. In this paper, we introduce a DEA model for evaluating DMU’s under this circumstance. The layer model can resul...

Measuring the efficiency of decision making units

A nonlinear (nonconvex) programming model provides a new definition of efficiency for use in evaluating activities of not-for-profit entities participating in public programs. A scalar measure of the efficiency of each participating unit is thereby provided, along with methods for objectively determining weights by reference to the observational data for the multiple outputs and multiple inputs...

DEA efficiency assessment using ideal and anti-ideal decision making units

This paper introduces two virtual decision making units (DMUs) called ideal DMU (IDMU) and anti-ideal DMU (ADMU) into the data envelopment analysis (DEA). The resultant DEA models are, respectively, referred to as the data envelopment analysis with ideal and anti-ideal decision making units. One evaluates DMUs from the viewpoint of the best possible relative efficiency, while the other evaluate...
