in the use of peer group data to assess individual, typical or best practice performance, the effective detection of outliers is critical for achieving useful results. in these ‘‘deterministic’’ frontier models, statistical theory is now mostly available. this paper deals with the statistical pared sample method and its capability of detecting outliers in data envelopment analysis. in the prese...

one of the major problems in data envelopment analysis (dea) is to determine the projection of inefficient decision making units (dmus) into the efficient frontier. in conventional dea models, inputs and outputs of inefficient dmus alter arbitrarily for reaching to the efficient frontier. nevertheless, sometimes the ability of dmus is defined and restricted. moreover, there are situations in th...

The conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) measures the relative efficiencies of a set of decision making units (DMUs) with exact value of inputs and outputs. For imprecise data, i.e., mixtures of interval data and ordinal data, some methods have been developed to calculate the interval of the efficiency scores. This paper constructs a procedure to measure the efficiencies of DMUs with mi...

Article history: Received 5 January 2014 Received in revised format 8 March 2014 Accepted 11 March 2014 Available online 12 March 2014 Measuring the relative efficiency of banking industry has been a popular subject among both practitioners and academicians. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been widely applied for different purposes. This paper presents an empirical investigation to measure ...

  The present study is an attempt towards remodeling cost, revenue and profit relationship within the network process. The previous models of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) have been too general in their scope and focused on the input and the output within a black box system, therefore they have not been able to measure various phases simultaneously within a network system. By using these mod...

Technique of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) involves methods conducted for desirable objective management of Decision Making Unit (DMU) that is same increasing of efficiency level. Data envelopment analysis furthermore determines the efficiency level, provides situation, removes inefficiency with evaluated benchmarking information. In this paper the use of the improvement Least-Distance measur...

the present study is an attempt toward evaluating the performance of portfolios and asset selectionusing cross-efficiency evaluation. cross-efficiency evaluation is an effective way of ranking decisionmaking units (dmus) in data envelopment analysis (dea). conventional dea models assume nonnegativevalues for inputs and outputs. however, we know that unlike return and skewness, varianceis the on...

In the contemporary global market, managing the entire supply chain has become crucial for competitive advantage in different industries. However, the realization and success of supply chain management (SCM) depends significantly on the previous supply chain modeling and simulation for analyzing complex systems. This study develops a modular approach for system analysis and design of supply cha...
