In this study, we adopt a three-stage approach, DEA method, Frontier regressions, and DEA method to estimate bank efficiency based on information obtained from 29 banks in Taiwan for the period from 2002 to 2004. In the first stage, we employ super SBM (super Slacks-Based Measure) to estimate the scores relating bank efficiency including internal risk. In the second stage, a stochastic frontier...

Abstract Efficiencies of Agricultural Credit Associations the US Farm System are measured quarterly from 2005 through 2020. A slacks-based measure based on directional distance function is used with non-performing loans included as an undesirable output. This permitted efficiency scores to be by type defined input or Generally, most were highly efficient, but there was deterioration in mean ove...

For years, China has adopted environmental regulations in developing ports to improve their sustainability. Based on the data of Chinese from 2009 2018, this paper presents a envelopment analysis model with subdividing input-output indicator weights and develops it further two stages weight preference slacks-based measure, respectively. After assessing sustainable development capability (SDC) s...

This study measures the efficiency of health care resource allocation in each region China using global undesirable output from Data Envelopment Analysis - Slacks Based Measure (DEA-SBM) model, on basis which concept economic convergence is introduced to analyze as a whole and region. The found that although overall relatively weakly effective, trend U-shaped, since 2015, has shown an upward mo...

In this short paper, we recall the use of squared slacks used to transform inequality constraints into equalities and several reasons why their introduction may be harmful in many algorithmic frameworks routinely used in nonlinear programming. Numerical examples performed with the sequential quadratic programming method illustrate those reasons. Our results are reproducible with state-of-the-ar...

This paper deals with the assignment of a type of task to each member of a multi-function staff (each worker is able to perform a given subset of types of tasks, possibly with a priority index associated to each element of the subset). The resulting number of workers for each type of task must be not less than a given lower bound and as close as possible to another given value. The objectives a...

Electrical power distribution is the most important division in supply chain. However, its sustainability terms of efficiency very for growth every country. This main objective paper to assess productivity dynamics this process using data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology analyse effectiveness electricity regions (EDRs) over a period 7 years. The adapts biennial Malmquist index by infusing...

Abstract. This paper proposes an approach to monitoring and scheduling methods for repetitive MIMO-FIFO DESs. We use max-plus algebra for modeling and formulation, known as an effective approach for controller design for this type of system. Because a certain type of linear equations in max-plus algebra can represent the system’s behavior, the principal concerns in past researches were how to s...

Many countries are attempting to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions while increasing the productivity and efficiency of their industries. An undesirable-output-oriented data envelopment analysis (DEA) model with slacks-based measure (SBM) was used to evaluate the changes in the environmental efficiency of the transportation sector in 30 Chinese provinces (municipalities and autonomous ...
