Malmquist Productivity Index for Network Production Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The conventional Malmquist productivity index (MPI) measures the performance improvement of a production system between two periods, where the system is treated as a black box, ignoring the internal operations of the component processes. Based on a relational model of the data envelopment analysis (DEA) for measuring the system and process efficiencies, this paper develops a methodology for calculating the system and process MPIs in one model. Moreover, relationships between the system and process MPIs are derived. By defining the ratio of the inefficiencies of a unit in two periods as complementary MPIs, this paper finds that the system complementary MPI is a linear combination of the process complementary MPIs, and the former is also close to a weighted average of the latter. Knowing the relationship between the system and process MPIs helps identify the processes that deter the improvement of the system; amendments to them will improve the system performance in the future.

Estimating multi-period global cost efficiency and productivity change of systems with network structures
The current paper develops three different ways to measure the multi-period global cost efficiency for homogeneous networks of processes when the prices of exogenous inputs are known at all time periods. A multi-period network data envelopment analysis model is presented to measure the minimum cost of the network system based on the global production possibility set. We show that there is a rel...

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 ...
