Estimating most productive scale size in DEA with real and integer value data

چکیده
For better guiding a system, senior managers should have accurate information. Using Data Envelopment analysis (DEA) help managers in this objective. Thus, many investigations have been made in order to find the most productive scale size (MPSS) for the evaluating decision making units (DMUs). In this paper we consider this case where there exist subsets of input and output variables to be integer valued. We use data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique, which is a mathematical programming for efficiency evaluation and target setting for a set of DMUs, and develop a model with which the desired MPSS point can be found. The applicability of developed model is illustrated in the context of the analysis to show the validity of the proposed model.

متن کاملEstimating Most Productive Scale Size of the provinces of Iran in the Employment sector using Interval data in Imprecise Data Envelopment Analysis(IDEA)
Unemployment is one of the most important economic problems in Iran, so that many of its managers plan to increase employment rates. Increasing the employment rate needs to increase economic productivity which DEA is one of the most appropriate evaluation methods for estimating the productivity of similar organizations. Employment in the amount of data input and output can be just interval. In ...
متن کاملEstimating Most Productive Scale Size with Double Frontiers in Data Envelopment Analysis using Negative Data
In this paper, it is assumed that the “Decision Making Units“( ) are consist of positive and negative input and output. Firstly, the optimistic and pessimistic models have been suggested by using negative data and then units with most productive scale size are measured in optimistic and pessimistic models. These productive values are compared with double frontiers and Hurwicz’s Criterion to obt...
متن کاملResource allocation based on DEA for distance improvement to MPSS points considering environmental factors
This paper proposes a new resource allocation model which is based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) and concerns systems with several homogeneous units operating under supervision of a central unit. The previous studies in DEA literature deal with reallocating/allocating organizational resource to improve performance or maximize the total amount of outputs produced by individual units. In tho...
