this paper gives a new application of dea to evaluate the scheduling solutions of parallel processing. it evaluates the scheduling solutions of parallel processing using the non-convex dea model, fdh model. by introducing each solution of parallel processing scheduling as a dmu with some relevant inputs and outputs this paper shows that how the most efficient schedule(s) can be identified.

To help improve customer satisfaction management (CRM), greater emphasis is given to the aspect of quality in the supply chain. And improve supply chain performance through integrated business management and strategic partnerships. On the other hand, strategic supply chain management decisions are made at a company level that determine benefits and efficiencies of the supply chain and effective...

Trade-off reviews the rate of marginal substitution of inputs and outputs onto the efficient frontier. On the other hand, marginal rates of substitution (MRS) are important quantities for analysts and managers. In this paper, by changing the method of Asmild (2004), an algorithm is found that it can be used to calculate the marginal rate of the free disposal hull (FDH) model.

In this article we assess the effect of market imperfections and income inequality on rural production efficiency. The analysis is carried out using the notion of stochastic conditional efficiency computed in terms of free disposal hull (FDH) efficiency measurements. Free disposal hull and conditional FDH are output oriented with variable returns to scale. They are evaluated for rural productio...

It is well-known that the convergence rates of nonparametric efficiency estimators (e.g., free-disposal hull and data envelopment analysis estimators) become slower with increasing numbers of input and output quantities (i.e., dimensionality). Dimension reduction is often utilized in non-parametric density and regression where similar problems occur, but has been used in only a few instances in...
