Abstract
Performance measurement of decision-making units (DMUs) with network structure is one of the main challenges in data envelopment analysis (DEA) field. The main purpose of this paper is to propose a novel network data envelopment analysis (NDEA) approach based on matrix of efficiency, common set of weights (CSW), multi-objective programming (MOP), and goal programming (GP) technique for performance measurement of peer DMUs in two-stage network structure. The advantages of the proposed NDEA approach can be summarized as follows: comparing all DMUs and sub-DMUs on the same base, considering all internal structures and relations and capability to extending this for all network structures, linearity of the proposed models, unique efficiency decomposing without any need to consider multiplicative, additive or leader-follower relations between overall and stages efficiency. To illustrate the usefulness and applicability of the proposed approach we applied it to a real application of non-life insurance companies in Taiwan.
期刊介绍:
Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry.
Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution.
Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
