Abstract Eco-efficiency, especially the total-factor eco-efficiency, measured by DEA models considering undesirable outputs, has been a popular instrument to evaluate sustainable development in recent years. However, pursues not only high eco-efficiency which ensures that utilization of natural resource and environment is way, but also good effectiveness right direction. In this paper, firstly,...

In the world, most international trade is carried out by shipping. Taiwan is surrounded by sea and is a key transportation hub in the Asia-Pacific region. Shipping industry in Taiwan plays an important role in international trade. In order to enhance the competitiveness of shipping companies, managers need to increase the overall efficiency. One way to achieve this is to allocate limited resour...

• Efficiency of operational processes with undesirable outputs containing series and parallel processes. Developing a network Slacks-Based DEA model to include components. A Slack-Based data envelopment analysis for measuring efficiency banks. An assessment Chinese commercial banks considering both This paper proposes new slacks-based measure (SBM-NDEA) evaluate the performance production that ...

The objective of this paper is to present a methodology for selecting decision making units (DMUs) in the presence of undesirable outputs and imprecise data. The proposed model is applied in supplier selection problem. A numerical example demonstrates the application of the proposed method.

this paper deals with the problem of optimizing two-stage structure decision making units (dmus) where the activity and the performance of two-stage dmu in one period effect on its efficiency in the next period. to evaluate such systems the effect of activities in one period on ones in the next term must be considered. to do so, we propose a dynamic dea approach to measure the performance of su...

In this article, optimization-based frameworks are introduced for elucidating the input-output structure of signaling networks and for pinpointing targeted disruptions leading to the silencing of undesirable outputs in therapeutic interventions. The frameworks are demonstrated on a large-scale reconstruction of a signaling network composed of nine signaling pathways implicated in prostate cance...

In process multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems are observed that are dominated by interactions between input and outputs. Process decouplers are synthesized to reduce these interactions before controller design. In this work analytical expressions for closed-loop interactive transfer functions are found and interaction reducers (IR) are designed (as process decouplers) for closed-loop contr...
