Measuring the efficiency of wastewater services through Data Envelopment Analysis.
Efficient water management is a priority in the European Union, since the operational efficiency of many water utilities is very low compared to best practice. Several countries are restructuring the water industry to save costs. Larger-scale operations and vertical integration are promoted to achieve scale and scope economies; however, the literature is not unanimous that such economies exist....
متن کاملMeasuring Technical Efficiency of the Iranian Post Company Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)
Given that improvement in efficiency is a major resource to economic development, this can be applied to each domestic sector of an economy. The objective of this paper is to measure technical efficiency of the Iranian Post Company across the countryâs provinces using data envelopment analysis (DEA). The ranking of technical efficiency has been calculated by using collected data on post offi...
متن کاملMeasuring the efficiency of a three-stage network using data envelopment analysis approach considering dual boundary
This paper presents a method for performance evaluation, ranking and clustering based on the double-frontier view to analyze the complex networks. The model allows us to open the structure of the “black box” and can help to obtain important information about efficient and inefficient points of the system. In this paper, we consider a three-stage network, in respect to the additional desirable a...
متن کاملMeasuring efficiency of physician practices using data envelopment analysis.
PURPOSE Medical-group practices are becoming increasingly common-place, with more than a third of licensed physicians in the United States currently working in this mode. While previous studies have focused on physician practices, little attention has been focused specifically on the contribution of internal organizational factors to overall physician practice efficiency. This paper develops a ...
متن کاملThe directional hybrid measure of efficiency in data envelopment analysis
The efficiency measurement is a subject of great interest. The majority of studies on DEA models have been carried out using radial or non-radial approaches regarding the application of DEA for the efficiency measurement. This paper, based on the directional distance function, proposes a new generalized hybrid measure of efficiency under generalized returns to scale with the existence of both r...
