benchmarking marketing productivity using data envelopment analysis: a modified approach

Authors
abstract

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 this paper the sbm model has been enhanced by incorporating two constraints. one of these constraints has been considered to deal with non-discretionary inputs that can affect production. the other helps to find acceptable targets where there exists variable that has an integer value. also, with an example it has been shown how the proposed model works.

A global cost Malmquist productivity index using data envelopment analysis

This paper proposes a global cost Malmquist productivity index, new cost Malmquist productivity index, that is circular and that gives a single measure of productivity change. The index is inspired by the global Malmquist productivity index as extended to productivity measurement. Decomposition of the proposed cost Malmquist productivity index is presented. Numerical results are presented for a...

Performance benchmarking of electricity power stations using Data Envelopment Analysis

Performance benchmarking plays a major role in setting and maintaining the objectives of the operational units. Traditional productivity measures are found to be inadequate in assessing the performance and hence advanced techniques like Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) are recommended. This paper demonstrates the use of DEA for benchmarking the performance of electricity generating and supply st...
