The fundamental weakness of a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is its weak discrimination in cases when small number of Decision Making Units (DMU) have been compared. Therefore in such cases the basic DEA model is used in combination with other methods or additional constraints are added to the model. In this paper, the Cross-efficiency method has been combined with the Potential Method (PM).

In this paper Malmquist productivity index(MPI) for decision making unit(DMU) with interval data has been evaluated.A method for assessing Malmquist productivity index using cost efficiency also has been developed.The applicability of the methods developed is illustrated in the context of the analysis of groups of teaching of university performance.

Statistics from the Taiwan Tourism Bureau (TTB) state that travelers to Taiwan in 2006 spent an average of 44.74% of their daily spending at hotels. Thus, the quality of services and the level of operational performance at hotels is key to the rise or fall of the tourism industry. Hotels in Taiwan can be divided into two groups: general and international tourist hotel (ITH). Between 1992 and 20...

We provide an alternative framework for solving Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models which, in comparison with the standard Linear Programming (LP) based approach that solves one LP for each Decision Making Unit (DMU), delivers much more information. By projecting out all the variables which are common to all LP runs, we obtain a formula into which we can substitute the inputs and outputs of ...

A novel domino synthesis of 1,3,5-trisubstituted hydantoin derivatives has been developed in low melting L-(+)-tartaric acid-DMU melt mixtures. The functionalized hydantoins are obtained in good yields from β,γ-unsaturated ketoacids and urea under environmentally benign and simple reaction conditions.

<span lang="EN-US">Planning production is an essential component of the decision-making process, which has a direct bearing on effectiveness systems. This study’s objective to investigate efficiency performance units (DMU) in relation planning issues. However, system manufacturing environment frequently subject uncertain situations, such as demand and labor, this can have effect not only ...
