Comparative Evaluation of Production Efficiency: A DEA Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
The rapid changes in oil prices in last five years forced companies to rethink about their manufacturing process. This paper examines application of DEA and revenue management models for measuring and improving of productivity of a Canadian packaging company. The critical success failure factors are also highlighted.

Efficiency evaluation of wheat farming: a network data envelopment analysis approach
Traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) models deal with measurement of relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) in which multiple-inputs consumed to produce multiple-outputs. One of the drawbacks of these models is neglecting internal processes of each system, which may have intermediate products and/or independent inputs and/or outputs. In this paper some methods which are usab...
متن کاملDynamic DEA: A Hybrid Measure Approach
In the real world applications, there are some situations where inputs and outputs are time-dependent and are affected during the production periods. Capital stock can be seen as an effective instance in such occasions. In order to handling long-time planning, dynamic structure was proposed in efficiency evaluation. In this framework, there are some of the inputs and outputs change proportiona...
متن کاملA New Goal programming approach for cross efficiency evaluation
Cross efficiency evaluation was developed as an extension of DEA. But the traditional DEA models usually have alternative optimal solutions and, as a result, cross efficiency scores may not be unique. It is recommended that without changing the DEA efficiency scores, the secondary goal should be introduced for optimization of the inputs/outputs weights. Several reports evaluated the perfo...
متن کاملScaling production and improving efficiency in DEA: an interactive approach
DEA models help a DMU to detect its (in-)efficiency and to improve activities, if necessary. Efficiency is only one economic aim for a decision-maker; however, up- or downsizing might be a second one. Improving efficiency is the main topic in DEA; the long-term strategy towards the right production size should attract our attention as well. Not always the management of a DMU primarily focuses o...
متن کاملMeasuring Efficiency of Production Units by Ahp Models
The paper deals with models and methods for evaluation of efficiency of production units. The standard modeling approach for evaluation of efficiency is data envelopment analysis (DEA) based on the definition of efficiency as the ratio of outputs produced by the unit and inputs spent in the production process. Standard data envelopment analysis models divide the units into inefficient and effic...
