abstract

measuring the performance of a production system has been an important task in management for purposes of control, planning, etc. lord kelvin said :“when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind.” hence, management knowledge is measurable science and if we can’t measure each subject we can’t control it so management is impossible. we know, the major criteria performance is productivity and we should be able to measure it. data envelopment analysis (dea), as an evaluation method, can estimate the relative efficiency of organizations systematically. the efficiency of an organization can be benchmarked by using dea. dea presents a model for evaluating the performance of a set of comparable decision making units (dmus). in this paper we developed a new model for calculating productivity with two-stage data envelopment analysis.

Estimating ‎C‎apacity Utilization in Two-Stage Production Systems: A Data Envelopment Analysis Approach

The current study investigates performance in two-stage production systems through the measurement of capacity utilization (CU). In short-run, the degree of capacity utilization depends on the ability of decision making units to utilize fixed production factors. To develop this indicator in two-stage production processes, a modified SBM network DEA model is proposed. A numerical example is also...

A Chance Constraint Approach to Multi Response Optimization Based on a Network Data Envelopment Analysis

In this paper, a novel approach for multi response optimization is presented. In the proposed approach, response variables in treatments combination occur with a certain probability. Moreover, we assume that each treatment has a network style. Because of the probabilistic nature of treatment combination, the proposed approach can compute the efficiency of each treatment under the desirable reli...

Entropy based Malmquist Productivity Index in Data Envelopment Analysis

Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) is one of the most famous indices, which is used for estimating the productivity change of a Decision Making Unit (DMU) during the time. Virtually any empirical study that uses MPI, reports average of the productivity indices they estimate to represent the overall tendency in productivity changes. In such a case, productivity indices of a DMU are considered wi...

A note on second order cone programming approach to two-stage network data envelopment analysis

Efficiency aggregation and efficiency decomposition are two techniques used in modeling decision making units (DMUs) with two-stage network structures under network data envelopment analysis (DEA). Multiplicative efficiency decomposition (MED) is usually used in a very specialized two-stage structure when constant returns to scale (CRS) is assumed. MED-based network DEA retains the property of ...

benchmarking marketing productivity using data envelopment analysis: a modified approach

abstract. data envelopment analysis (dea) is now widely utilized as a method for assessing relative efficiency of a set of decision making units (dmus). along as evaluating relative efficiency dea models are capable of to be improved for finding benchmark for inefficient units which can help managers for better making decision. thus it is important to obtain accurate results from dea models. in...
