چکیده مقاله:

Measuring the efficiency of real businesses is not a simple task, because a real business may involve several processes and sub-processes, forming a very complicated dynamic network of interactions. In this paper, a customized dynamic network data envelopment analysis (NDEA) model is proposed to measure the efficiency of the sub-processes in a real business. The proposed dynamic NDEA model is fully designed and customized for IMI which is a leading institute in providing consulting management, publication, and educational services. First, we have identified the network of the Industrial Management Institute (IMI) which includes educational, consulting, and publication sub-processes. Then, the most important sub-processes and the associated dynamic interactions are determined. Afterward, a dynamic NDEA model is proposed to measure the efficiency of sub-processes. The main theoretical properties of the proposed dynamic NDEA model are also discussed through theorems. Assessing the performance of IMI's sub-processes is not a trivial task due to the complexity of sub-processes in IMI. The proposed dynamic NDEA model is applied using real operational data of the IMI gathered through a sixty-month planning horizon. An attempt has been accomplished to form a relationship between the total efficiency of the process and the efficiency of each sub-process by regression analysis. The managers of IMI can monitor the efficiency score of the main process and sub-processes during the planning horizon which can help to improve inefficient sub-process.

The directional hybrid measure of efficiency in data envelopment analysis

The efficiency measurement is a subject of great interest. The majority of studies on DEA models have been carried out using radial or non-radial approaches regarding the application of DEA for the efficiency measurement. This paper, based on the directional distance function, proposes a new generalized hybrid measure of efficiency under generalized returns to scale with the existence of both r...

A Chance Constraint Approach to Multi Response Optimization Based on a Network Data Envelopment Analysis

In this paper, a novel approach for multi response optimization is presented. In the proposed approach, response variables in treatments combination occur with a certain probability. Moreover, we assume that each treatment has a network style. Because of the probabilistic nature of treatment combination, the proposed approach can compute the efficiency of each treatment under the desirable reli...

Measuring the efficiency of a three-stage network using data envelopment analysis approach considering dual boundary

This paper presents a method for performance evaluation, ranking and clustering based on the double-frontier view to analyze the complex networks. The model allows us to open the structure of the “black box” and can help to obtain important information about efficient and inefficient points of the system. In this paper, we consider a three-stage network, in respect to the additional desirable a...

A slacks-based measure of efficiency in data envelopment analysis

In this paper, we will propose a Slacks-Based measure (SBM) of efficiency in DEA. This scalar measure deals directly with the input surplus and the output shortage of the decision making unit (DMU) concerned. It is unit invariant and monotone decreasing with respect to input surplus and output shortage. Furthermore, this measure is decided only by consulting with the reference set of the DMU an...
