Finding DEA-efficient hyperplanes using MOLP efficient faces

This paper suggests a method for finding efficient hyperplanes with variable returns to scale the technology in data envelopment analysis (DEA) by using the multiple objective linear programming (MOLP) structure. By presenting an MOLP problem for finding the gradient of efficient hyperplanes, We characterize the efficient faces. Thus, without finding the extreme efficient points of the MOLP problem and only by identifying the efficient faces of the MOLP problem, we characterize the efficient hyperplanes which make up the DEA efficient frontier. Finally, we provide an algorithm for finding the efficient supporting hyperplanes and efficient defining hyperplanes, which uses only one linear programming problem.     

The interval efficiency based on the optimistic and pessimistic points of view

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a data-oriented approach for evaluating the performances of a set of peer entities called decision-making units (DMUs), whose performance is determined based on multiple measures. The traditional DEA, which is based on the concept of efficiency frontier (output frontier), determines the best efficiency score that can be assigned to each DMU. Based on these scores, DMUs are classified into DEA-efficient (optimistic efficient) or DEA-non-efficient (optimistic non-efficient) units, and the DEA-efficient DMUs determine the efficiency frontier. There is a comparable approach which uses the concept of inefficiency frontier (input frontier) for determining the worst relative efficiency score that can be assigned to each DMU. DMUs on the inefficiency frontier are specified as DEA-inefficient or pessimistic inefficient, and those that do not lie on the inefficient frontier, are declared to be DEA-non-inefficient or pessimistic non-inefficient. In this paper, we argue that both relative efficiencies should be considered simultaneously, and any approach that considers only one of them will be biased. For measuring the overall performance of the DMUs, we propose to integrate both efficiencies in the form of an interval, and we call the proposed DEA models for efficiency measurement the bounded DEA models. In this way, the efficiency interval provides the decision maker with all the possible values of efficiency, which reflect various perspectives. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the application of the proposed DEA models.     

A new method for complete ranking of DMUs

So far numerous models have been proposed for ranking the efficient decision-making units (DMUs) in data envelopment analysis (DEA). But, the most shortcoming of these models is their two-stage orientation. That is, firstly we have to find efficient DMUs and then rank them. Another flaw of some of these models, like AP-model (A procedure for ranking efficient units in data envelopment analysis, Management Science, 39 (10) (1993) 1261–1264), is existence of a non-Archimedean number in their objective function. Besides, when there is more than one weak efficient unit (or non-extreme efficient unit) these models could not rank DMUs. In this paper, we employ hyperplanes of the production possibility set (PPS) and propose a new method for complete ranking of DMUs in DEA. The proposed approach is a one stage method which ranks all DMUs (efficient and inefficient). In addition to ranking, the proposed method determines the type of efficiency for each DMU, simultaneously. Numerical examples are given to show applicability of the proposed method.     

Decomposing the efficient frontier of the DEA production possibility set into a smallest number of convex polyhedrons by mixed integer programming

This paper extends the works by Olesen and Petersen (2003), Russell and Schworm (2006) and Cooper et al. (2007) about describing the efficient frontier of a production possibility set by the intersection of a finite number of closed halfspaces, in several ways. First, we decompose the efficient frontier into a smallest number of convex polyhedrons, or equivalently into a new class of efficient faces, called maximal efficient faces (MEFs). Second, we show how to identify all MEFs even if full dimensional efficient faces do not exist. Third, by applying the MEF decomposition to various real-world data sets, we demonstrate the validity of the MEF decomposition and how it can contribute to the DEA literature. Finally, we illustrate how to use the identified MEFs in practice.     

Finding the efficiency score and RTS characteristic of DMUs by means of identifying the efficient frontier in DEA

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is basically a linear programming based technique used for measuring the relative performance of organizational units, referred to as decision-making units (DMUs), where the presence of multiple inputs and outputs makes comparisons difficult. The ability of identifying frontier DMUs prior to the DEA calculation is of extreme importance to an effective and efficient DEA computation. In this paper, a method for identifying the efficient frontier is introduced. Then, the efficiency score and returns to scale (RTS) characteristic of DMUs will be produced by means of the equation of efficient frontier.     

Super-efficiency DEA in the presence of infeasibility

It is well known that super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach can be infeasible under the condition of variable returns to scale (VRS). By extending of the work of Chen (2005), the current study develops a two-stage process for calculating super-efficiency scores regardless whether the standard VRS super-efficiency mode is feasible or not. The proposed approach examines whether the standard VRS super-efficiency DEA model is infeasible. When the model is feasible, our approach yields super-efficiency scores that are identical to those arising from the original model. For efficient DMUs that are infeasible under the super-efficiency model, our approach yields super-efficiency scores that characterize input savings and/or output surpluses. The current study also shows that infeasibility may imply that an efficient DMU does not exhibit super-efficiency in inputs or outputs. When infeasibility occurs, it can be necessary that (i) both inputs and outputs be decreased to reach the frontier formed by the remaining DMUs under the input-orientation and (ii) both inputs and outputs be increased to reach the frontier formed by the remaining DMUs under the output-orientation. The newly developed approach is illustrated with numerical examples.     

Output–input ratio analysis and DEA frontier

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming technique for identifying efficient frontiers for peer decision making units (DMUs). The ability of identifying frontier DMUs prior to the DEA calculation is of extreme importance to an effective and efficient DEA computation. In this paper, we present mathematical properties which characterize the inherent relationships between DEA frontier DMUs and output–input ratios. It is shown that top-ranked performance by ratio analysis is a DEA frontier point. This in turn allows identification of membership of frontier DMUs without solving a DEA program. Such finding is useful in streamlining the solution of DEA.     

决策单元的投影问题研究

在传统的DEA模型中,不论是最优相对效率模型或者最差相对效率模型,它们研究投影问题都是在不同的约束域内进行的,得出的结论都有一定的片面性.在bounded DEA模型中,决策单元的效率计算是在一个区间内进行的,可以同时研究非DEA有效的决策单元在有效前沿面上的投影和非DEA无效的决策单元在DEA无效面上的投影,得出的结论更加科学合理,并以定理的形式给出了投影结果的表达式.通过一个实例将投影结果与传统模型中得出的投影结果进行了比较,发现bounded DEA模型得到的投影结果对实际的生产具有更强的指导意义.
