Abstract:

In the process of production, some of the inputs are fixed and cannot easily be changed, such as work hours of workers and hours of administrative or work, these types of inputs are fixed and others are variables. In this paper, by considering some inputs or outputs which are limited, their amounts must be integrated; this concept for integer data is extended. We show the importance of subject by bringing a real example of 25 branches of a bank.

Weak Disposability in Integer-Valued Data Envelopment Analysis

Conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) models normally assume all inputs and outputs are real valued and continuous. However in problems some inputs and outputs can only take integer values, also, both desirable and undesirable outputs can be generated . In this paper the effect of undesirable outputs in integer DEA model is discussed. The proposed model distinguishes weak disposability o...

Measuring the Capacity Utilization of Public District Hospitals in Tunisia: Using Dual Data Envelopment Analysis Approach

Background Public district hospitals (PDHs) in Tunisia are not operating at full plant capacity and underutilize their operating budget.   Methods Individual PDHs capacity utilization (CU) is measured for 2000 and 2010 using dual data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach with shadow prices input and output restrictions. The CU is estimated for 101 of 105 PDH in 2000 and 94 of 105 PDH in 2010.   ...

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF EFFICIENT AND INEFFICIENT UNITS IN INTEGER-VALUED DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS

One of the issues in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is sensitivity and stability region of the speci c decision making unit (DMU), included ecient and inecient DMUs. In sensitivity analysis of ecient DMUs,the largest region should be found namely stability region thatdata variations are only for ecient DMU under evaluation and the data for the remainingDMUs are assumed xed. Also ecient DMU u...

Theory of integer-valued data envelopment analysis

Conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) models assume real-valued inputs and outputs. In many occasions, some inputs and/ or outputs can only take integer values. In some cases, rounding the DEA solution to the nearest whole number can lead to misleading efficiency assessments and performance targets. This paper develops the axiomatic foundation for DEA in the case of integer-valued data, ...

Data envelopment analysis for imprecise data in Buyer-Seller Relationship

In the environment of business‐to‐business e‐commerce, Buyers and sellers in mature industrial markets can turn single transactions into long-term beneficial relationships by a deeper understanding of the complex connection between the two and buyers and sellers are uncertain about their roles. A “must-do” for the sellers, in particular, is to understand patterns of investment and reward,...
