Additive slacks- based measure with undesirable output and feedback for a two-stage structure

Authors

Abstract:

This paper develops slacks-based measure (SBM) and additive SBM (ASBM) to evaluate efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) in a two-stage structure with undesirable outputs and feedback variables from the internal perspective. The SBM model is linearized  for a specific weight and the ASBM model is reformulated as a second order cone program. The target values for all inputs, outputs (both desirable and undesirable) and intermediate products are  provided. This study shows that unlike the SBM model, ASBM can be adapted to the preference of the decision maker by selecting the weights to aggregate stages in the network.

A Slacks-Based Measure of Efficiency of Electric Arc Furnace Activity with Undesirable Outputs

Efficiency reflects a scenario of higher quality product with fewer resource inputs and less pollution discharge. In terms of a manufacturing firm, it means a win-win strategy in both economic and environmental categories. The paper extends the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) activity management by taking pollution discharge as undesirable outputs. After reviewing relative undesirable outputs DEA li...

Dynamic DEA with network structure – A slacks - based measure approach –

We propose a dynamic DEA model involving network structure in each period within the framework of a slacks-based measure approach. We have previously published the network SBM (NSBM) and the dynamic SBM (DSBM) models separately. Hence, this article is a composite of these two models. Vertically, we deal with multiple divisions connected by links of network structure within each period and, hori...

A new slacks-based measure of Malmquist–Luenberger index in the presence of undesirable outputs

In the majority of production processes, noticeable amounts of bad byproducts or bad outputs are produced. The negative effects of the bad outputs on efficiency cannot be handled by the standard Malmquist index to measure productivity change over time. Toward this end, the Malmquist–Luenberger index (MLI) has been introduced, when undesirable outputs are present. In this paper, we introduce a D...

A Slacks-Based Measure of Efficiency in Two-Stage Data Envelopment Analysis

As a non-parametric technique, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) evaluates the relative efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs) that have multiple inputs and outputs. In many situations, DMUs have a two-stage structure, where * Corresponding author. E-mail address: [email protected] (A. Ashrafi) 1436 A. Ashrafi, A. B. Jaafar, L. S. Lee and M. R.

Dynamic DEA: A slacks-based measure approach

In data envelopment analysis, there are several methods for measuring efficiency change over time, e.g. the window analysis and the Malmquist index. However, they usually neglect carry-over activities between consecutive two terms. These carry-overs play an important role in measuring the efficiency of decision making units in each term as well as over the whole terms based on the long-term vie...

Network DEA: A slacks-based measure approach

Traditional DEA models deal with measurements of relative efficiency of DMUs regarding multiple-inputs vs. multiple-outputs. One of the drawbacks of these models is the neglect of intermediate products or linking activities. After pointing out needs for inclusion of them in DEA models, we propose a slacks-based network DEA model that can deal with intermediate products. Using this model we can ...
