Multidimensional Budgeting Concepts and Budget Control Modeling For Production Systems Performance Efficiency

A ‎D‎ivergence Measure for Combining Super-Efficiency Scores in Performance Measurement of Two-Stage Production Systems

In the conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) internal sub-processes of the production units are ignored. The current paper develops a network-DEA super-efficiency model to compare the performance of efficient network systems. A new ranking method is developed by aggregating the computed super-efficiency scores with a J-divergence measure. The proposed approach is then applied to evaluate...

Intertemporal Budgeting and Efficiency

This paper introduces an intertemporal variable cost indirect technology which permits technological change over time and allows for financial flexibility. It characterizes agencies which maximize the outputs or services subject to the budget they face. We define Farrelltype output oriented technical efficiency under different financial regimes and efficiency gains from financial flexibilities....

Performance-Based Budget Systems

Modeling and Analysis: Budgeting

This presentation addresses the fundamentals of budgeting: What is a budget, how to create and use a budget, what types of budgets are there. What is the relation with modeling and measuring. Distribution This article or presentation is written as part of the Gaudí project. The Gaudí project philosophy is to improve by obtaining frequent feedback. Frequent feedback is pursued by an open creatio...

Modeling and control for closed environment plant production systems.

A computer program was developed to study multiple crop production and control in controlled environment plant production systems. The program simulates crop growth and development under nominal and off-nominal environments. Time-series crop models for wheat (Triticum aestivum), soybean (Glycine max), and white potato (Solanum tuberosum) are integrated with a model-based predictive controller. ...
