Abstract:

The efficiency measurement is a subject of great interest. The majority of studies on DEA models have been carried out using radial or non-radial approaches regarding the application of DEA for the efficiency measurement. This paper, based on the directional distance function, proposes a new generalized hybrid measure of efficiency under generalized returns to scale with the existence of both radial and non-radial inputs and outputs. It extends the hybrid measure of efficiency from Tone (2004) to a more general case. The proposed model is not only flexible enough for the decision-maker to adjust the radial and non-radial inputs and outputs to attain the efficiency score but also avoids the computational and interpretive difficulties, thereby giving rise to an important clarification and understanding of the generalized DEA model. Furthermore, several frequently-used DEA models (such as the CCR, BCC, ERM and SBM models) which depend on the radial or non-radial approaches are derived while their results were compared to the ones obtained from this hybrid model. The empirical examples emphasize the consequence of the proposed measure.

Multi-period network Data Envelopment Analysis to measure the efficiency of a real business

Measuring the efficiency of real businesses is not a simple task, because a real business may involve several processes and sub-processes, forming a very complicated dynamic network of interactions. In this paper, a customized dynamic network data envelopment analysis (NDEA) model is proposed to measure the efficiency of the sub-processes in a real business. The proposed dynamic NDEA model is f...

Directional Slack-Based Measure for the Inverse Data Envelopment Analysis

A novel technique has been introduced in this research which lends its basis to the Directional Slack-Based Measure for the inverse Data Envelopment Analysis. In practice, the current research endeavors to elucidate the inverse directional slack-based measure model within a new production possibility set. On one occasion, there is a modification imposed on the output (input) quantities of an ef...

A slacks-based measure of efficiency in data envelopment analysis

In this paper, we will propose a Slacks-Based measure (SBM) of efficiency in DEA. This scalar measure deals directly with the input surplus and the output shortage of the decision making unit (DMU) concerned. It is unit invariant and monotone decreasing with respect to input surplus and output shortage. Furthermore, this measure is decided only by consulting with the reference set of the DMU an...

Efficiency Measure by Generalized Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis Model

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric technique to measure the efficiencies of a set of decision making units (DMUs) with common crisp inputs and outputs. In real-world problems, however, inputs and outputs typically have some levels of fuzziness. To analyze a DMU with fuzzy input/output data, previous studies provided the fuzzy DEA (FDEA) model and proposed an associated evaluati...
