The resilience of a bridge is computed using different quantitative and qualitative assessment methodologies. However, the score obtained by these approaches insufficient for decision-makers setting priority level bridges in need improvement. To address this issue, present study develops methodology data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach. A total 12 are selected as decision-making units DEA m...

The cross efficiency evaluation is used to performance measurement of decision making units in data envelopment analysis concept. One of the most important shortcoming of this method is existing alternative optimal solution and therefore, the efficiency scores are not unique. We are going to summarize the pervious models proposed by researchers and suggest an alternative secondary goal approach...

Efficiency evaluation of units has been of interest since many years in different domains such as management, economy, business, banking, and many others. Data envelopment analysis is one of the popular operations research methods for measuring the relative efficiency of units, which use multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs. As we know, universities play a key role in many aspects of a c...

One of the problems of the data envelopment analysis traditional models in the multiple form that is the weights corresponding to certain inputs and outputs are considered zero in the calculation of efficiency and this means that not all input and output components are utilized for the evaluation of efficiency, as some are ignored. The above issue causes the efficiency score of the under evalua...

This paper proposes the macro model and micro model for the efficiency evaluation of data warehouses (DWH), and introduces Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis (FDEA) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to comprehensively assess DWH efficiency. FDEA can determine the efficiencies of data warehouses with multiple input / output variables, and also resolve the problem that standard DEA cannot handle w...

‎In this paper allocating a fixed resource for producing ‎finite projects in order to obtaining a desired level of‎ ‎efficiency will be discussed‎. ‎Note that it is assumed that a ‎vector of limited sources is at hand‎. ‎This vector of resources can‎ ‎be contained human resource‎, ‎budget‎, ‎equipment‎, ‎and facilities‎. ‎In ‎any firm there exist different suggestions from subunits for ‎running...

We estimate a semi-parametric model of health production process using a two-stage approach for OECD countries. By regressing data envelopment analysis output efficiency scores on non-discretionary variables, both using Tobit analysis and a single and double bootstrap procedure, we show that inefficiency is strongly related to GDP per head, the education level, and health behaviour such as obes...
