Practical benchmarking in DEA using artificial DMUs
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is one of the most efficient tools for efficiency measurement which can be employed as a benchmarking method with multiple inputs and outputs. However, DEA does not provide any suggestions for improving efficient units, nor does it provide any benchmark or reference point for these efficient units. Impracticability of these benchmarks under environmental conditio...
متن کاملWithin-group common benchmarking using DEA
Cook and Zhu (2007) extend the DEA structure to apply to the more general setting where DMUs fall into distinct groups whose members experience similar circumstances. As these authors state, in those cases the DMUs of a group are to be treated uniformly in terms of multiplier allocation. In the same contextual setting, the present paper proposes a DEA-based approach which is primarily focused o...
متن کاملAllocating fixed resources and setting targets using a common-weights DEA approach
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a data-driven non-parametric approach for measuring the efficiency of a set of decision making units (DMUs) using multiple inputs to generate multiple outputs. Conventionally, DEA is used in ex post evaluation of actual performance, estimating an empirical best-practice frontier using minimal assumptions about the shape of the production space. However, DEA ma...
متن کاملA study on the selection of benchmarking paths in DEA
One of the existing DEAmethods’ limitations noted in the literature lies in the process of benchmarking of reference targets for inefficient DMUs. Difficulties arising in this process can be summarized to three aspects. First, the reference target might be a hypothetical DMU that does not actually exist (it is difficult and indeed unrealistic to learn from such a DMU). Second, the reference set...
متن کاملDesigning a knowledge-based system for benchmarking: A DEA approach
First developed by Xerox in 1979, benchmarking provides measurement and comparison to improve processes and achieve higher performance. Benchmarking has proven a powerful tool for total quality management and process improvement. Successful benchmarking implementation is based on an effective benchmarking tool. To effectively implement benchmarking processes, this work proposes an integrated fr...
