Kajian ini membincangkan penggunaan kaedah analisis penyampulan data (APD) dalam mengukur kecekapan relatif perkhidmatan perpustakaan di institusi pengajian tinggi awam (IPTA) di Malaysia. Kaedah APD adalah salah satu teknik yang sesuai digunakan untuk menilai kecekapan relatif satu set unit pembuatan keputusan (UPK) yang homogen. Konsep asas APD ialah mengenal pasti UPK yang cekap berbanding dengan UPK yang lain. UPK yang cekap ini dikenali sebagai Pareto optimum dan ianya dijadikan asas untuk perbandingan dengan UPK yang tidak cekap. Dalam kajian ini perpustakaan yang didapati tidak cekap akan dijalankan analisis kedualan supaya ketidakcekapan dapat diterjemahkan kepada bentuk input dan output. Hasil daripada analisis kedualan ini pihak pengurusan dapat melakukan penambahbaikan supaya perpustakaan yang didapati tidak cekap akan mencapai kecekapan melalui pengurangan dalam input dan pertambahan dalam output. Input dan output yang sesuai diambil kira dalam penentuan kecekapan setiap UPK ditentukan menggunakan ujian isotonisiti. Kajian ini dilakukan ke atas 14 buah perpustakaan IPTA di Malaysia dan hasil kajian menunjukkan 8 buah perpustakaan adalah cekap manakala 6 buah perpustakaan tidak cekap. Kata kunci: Analisis penyampulan data; unit pembuat keputusan; kecekapan relatif; set rujukan; pareto optimum This research discusses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model to evaluate the relative performance of public university libraries in Malaysia. DEA model is a suitable method to evaluate relative performances of a set of homogeneous decision–making units (DMUs). The basic concept of DEA is to identify the efficient decision–making units among all DMUs. This efficient DMU is called a Pareto optimal unit and is considered as the standard for comparison of all inefficient DMUs. In this study, the dual analysis will be carried out for the inefficient libraries in order to interpret the inefficiency in terms of the inputs and outputs. The outcomes of this dual analysis will give the management the improvements that need be done to the inefficient libraries, in terms of reducing the inputs and increasing the outputs. Suitable inputs and outputs for evaluating the performance of DMUs are determined using the isotonicity test. The study is carried out on 14 public university libraries and the results showed that 8 libraries are efficient while 6 are inefficient. Key words: Data envelopment analysis; decision-making unit; relative efficiency; reference set; pareto optimal

As of 21 th century, the terms of efficiency and productivity have become notions which dwells on both business and academic world more frequently compared to past. It is known that it is hard to increase the efficiency and productivity of both production and service systems. In this study, the efficiency analysis of the branches of a bank was conducted. Furthermore, a Weighted Stochastic Imprecise Data Envelopment Analysis (WSIDEA), which is a new approach developed based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), was proposed. Efficiency levels and results of decision-making units were examined according to the proposed new method. Additionally, six different DEA model results are obtained. The results of the six different DEA model and the proposed "WSIDEA" model were compared in terms of efficiency level of decision-making units, and the differences between them were examined. Sensitivity of the inefficient units were also examined. On the other hand, unrealistic efficiency levels created by traditional methods for branches were also analyzed. Apart from all these sensitivity analyses, the sensitivity of the data set used in the analysis is scrutinized.

Turkey is one of the leading countries in the world in the field of tile production and exportation. The ceramic sector constitutes the main focus and scope of this chapter, which makes some suggestions and recommendations to the industrial companies which were ranked among the 1,000 largest companies in 2011 based on their performance in revenue and exportation. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used in the measurement of the ceramic companies' performances. Three inputs (net actives, number of workers, and equity) and one output (revenue) are used in the first analysis where nine companies are taken as decision-making units. This chapter shows that Eczacibasi and Vitra were efficient in revenue making in 2011. Likewise, three inputs and one output (export) are used in the second analysis where nine companies are taken as decision-making units. According to DEA model findings, only Vitra was efficient in exporting in 2011.

This paper aims at measuring the relative efficiency of the most polluting industry in terms of water pollution in Pakistan. The textile processing is country‘s leading sub sector in textile manufacturing with regard to value added production, export, employment, and foreign exchange earnings. The data envelopment analysis technique is employed to estimate the relative efficiency of decision making units that uses several inputs to produce desirable and undesirable outputs. The efficiency scores of all manufacturing units exhibit the environmental consciousness of few producers is which may be due to state regulations to control pollution but overall the situation is far from satisfactory. Effective measures and instruments are still needed to check the rising pollution levels in water resources discharged by textile processing industry of the country.

Data envelopment analysis can be applied to measure the productivity of multiple input and output decision-making units. In addition, the data envelopment analysis-based Malmquist productivity index can be used as a tool for measuring the productivity change during different time periods. In this paper, we use an input-oriented model to measure the energy consumption productivity change from 1999 to 2008 of fourteen industry sectors in China as decision-making units. The results show that there are only four sectors that experienced effective energy consumption throughout the whole reference period. It also shows that these sectors always lie on the efficiency frontier of energy consumption as benchmarks. The other ten sectors experienced inefficiency in some two-year time periods and the productivity changes were not steady. The data envelopment analysis-based Malmquist productivity index provides a good way to measure the energy consumption and can give China's policy makers the information to promote their strategy of sustainable development.

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a well-known method for calculating the efficiency of Decision-Making Units (DMUs) based on their inputs and outputs. When the data is known and in the form of an interval in a given time period, this method can calculate the efficiency interval. Unfortunately, DEA is not capable of forecasting and estimating the efficiency confidence interval of the units in the future. This article, proposes a efficiency forecasting algorithm along with 95% confidence interval to generate interval data set for the next time period. What’s more, the manager’s opinion inserts and plays its role in the proposed forecasting model. Equipped with forecasted data set and with respect to data set from previous periods, the efficiency for the future period can be forecasted. This is done by proposing a proposed model and solving it by the confidence interval method. The proposed method is then implemented on the data of an automotive industry and, it is compared with the Monte Carlo simulation methods and the interval model. Using the results, it is shown that the proposed method works better to forecast the efficiency confidence interval. Finally, the efficiency and confidence interval of 95% is calculated for the upcoming period using the proposed model.

The conventional Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model considers Decision Making Units (DMUs) as a black box, meaning that these models do not consider the connection and the inner structures of DMUs. Moreover, these models consider that the activities of DMUs in each time are independent of other times, but in the real world, the inner structures of DMUs are complicated, and the activities of DMUs are dependent on other times. Therefore, in this chapter, the authors consider DMUs with network structure and the activity of each DMU in each time dependent to activity of other times, so they call this structure a dynamic network. To this end, in this chapter, models are suggested to evaluate the dynamic network efficiency based on the SBM model, which is a non-radial model of three types with respect to orientation: input-oriented, output-oriented, and non-oriented.

Major drawbacks of the traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) method include selecting optimal weights in a flexible manner, lacking adequate discrimination power for efficient decision-making units, and considering only desirable outputs. By introducing the concept of global efficiency optimization, this study proposed a double frontiers DEA approach with undesirable outputs to generate a common set of weights for evaluating all decision-making units from both the optimistic and pessimistic perspectives. For a unique optimal solution, compromise models for individual efficiency optimization were developed as a secondary goal. Finally, as an illustration, the models were applied to evaluate the energy efficiency of the Chinese regional economy. The results showed that the proposed approach could improve discrimination power and obtain a fair result in a case where both desirable and undesirable outputs exist.
