data envelopment analysis (dea) is a non-parametric technique for evaluation of relative efficiency of decision making units described by multiple inputs and outputs. it is based on solving linear programming problems. since 1978 when basic dea model was introduced many its modifications were formulated. among them are two or multi-stage models with serial or parallel structure often called net...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a method for measuring the relative efficiencies of a set of decision-making units (dmus) that use multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs. in this paper, we study the measurement of dmu performances in dea in situations where input and/or output values are given as imprecise data. by imprecise data we mean situations where we only know that the actual val...

data envelopment analysis (dea) measures the relative efficiency of decision making units (dmus) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. dea-based malmquist productivity index measures the productivity change over time. we propose a dynamic dea model involving network structure in each period within the framework a dea. we have previously published the network dea (ndea) and the dynamic dea ...

Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) by Pepperl+Fuchs GmbH, TE Connectivity, and Software AG The increase in overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is one of the most important applications of Industrie 4.0. However, retrofitting existing production systems poses major challenges for plant operators. For this reason, Pepperl+Fuchs, TE Connectivity, and Software AG – companies that are technologica...

the effects and influences of various parameters upon the efficiency and the overall volumetric mass transfer coefficients are important subjects to be studied in most liquid-liquid extraction processes. one of these important parameters is surface active agent (surfactant). in this paper, in order to study the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) concentration on the efficiency and the avera...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is an eciency measurement tool for evaluation of similar Decision Making Units (DMUs). In DEA, weights are assigned to inputs and outputs and the absolute eciency score is obtained by the ratio of weighted sum of outputs to weighted sum of inputs. In traditional DEA models, this measure is also equivalent with relative eciency score which evaluates DMUs in compar...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is one of the best methods for measuring the efficiency and productivity of Decision Making Units (DMU). Evaluating the efficiency of DMUs which have two or several stages by using the conventional DEA models, is equal to consider them as black box. This method, omits the effect of intermediate measure on efficiency. Therefore, just the first network inputs and t...
