Measuring Olympics achievements based on a parallel DEA approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Measuring the performance of participating nations in the Olympic Games is an important application of data envelopment analysis (DEA). Prior literature only considers participating nations’ performance in the Summer Olympic Games. It may be unfair to some nations who are good at the Winter Olympics, but poor at the Summer Olympics. Therefore, we believe it is better to consider the two Olympics together when measuring performance of participants. This paper treats the two Olympics as a parallel system in which each subsystem corresponds to a Summer Olympics or a Winter Olympics, and extends a parallel DEA approach to evaluate the efficiency of each participant. An efficiency decomposition procedure is proposed to obtain the efficiency rang of each Olympic subsystem. Finally, we apply the proposed approach to the latest real data set of the 2012 Summer Olympics and 2010 Winter Olympics.

An Integrated Approach for Measuring Performance of Network structure: Case study on power plants
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) and balanced scorecard (BSC) are two well-known approaches for measuring performance of decision making units (DMUs). BSC is especially applied with quality measures, whereas, when the quantity measures are used to evaluate, DEA is more appropriate. In the real-world, DMUs usually have complex structures such as network structures. One of the well-known network s...
متن کاملMeasuring a Dynamic Efficiency Based on MONLP Model under DEA Control
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a common technique in measuring the relative efficiency of a set of decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. Standard DEA models are quite limited models, in the sense that they do not consider a DMU at different times. To resolve this problem, DEA models with dynamic structures have been proposed.In a recent pape...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and outputs. The traditional DEA treats decision making units under evaluation as black boxes and calculates their efficiencies with first inputs and last outputs. This carries the notion of missing some intermediate measures in the process of changing the inputs to...

Measuring the performance of a production system has been an important task in management for purposes of control, planning, etc. Lord Kelvin said :“When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind.” Hence, manag...

In the real world there are groups which composed of independent units. The conventional data envelopment analysis(DEA) model treats groups as units, ignoring the operation of individual units within each group.The current paper, investigates parallel system network approach proposed by Kao and modifies it. As modied Kao' model is more eligible to recognize ecient groups, a new ranking method i...
