The data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique has been found very useful for evaluating the mutual fund performance. This applied study extends previous results in two ways: to properly reflect the pervasive skewness and leptokurtosis in return distributions of actively managed funds, new risk measures value-at-risk (VaR) and conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) are introduced into inputs of the existing DEA models; to fairly evaluate the relative performance of the same fund during different time periods, we creatively treat the same fund during different periods as different decision making units. Except for confirming current empirical conclusions, detailed empirical analyses using data of the Chinese mutual fund market show that, VaR and CVaR, especially their combinations with traditional risk measures, are very helpful for comprehensively describing return distribution properties and fund characteristics such as the asset allocation structure, which, in turn, can better evaluate the overall performance of mutual funds. Treating the same fund during different time periods as different funds can not only show the specific performance variation, but reveal the reasons for that variation. 相似文献

This paper presents a methodology for dealing with performance evaluation settings where factors can simultaneously play both input and output roles. Model structures are developed for classifying Decision-Making Units (DMUs) into three groups according to whether such a factor is behaving like an output, an input, or is in equilibrium, neither wanting to lose or gain any of the factors. We connect these ideas to those involving increasing, decreasing and constant returns to scale. Examples of factors that play this dual-role are: trainees in organizations, such as nurses, medical students, and doctoral students; awards to scholars or university departments; certain revenue—generating transactions in banks, and so on. We apply the model to the analysis of a set of university departments. In some settings, a dual-role factor may be one that can be reallocated, such as would be the case when DMUs are managed by a central authority. We develop the appropriate model structures to permit such a reallocation. We present two such structures, with the first involving reallocation from an existing allocation, and the second, a zero-base allocation. 相似文献

Light emitting diode (LED) is a popular component to replace the traditional lighting source or advertising sign display. In 2014, high-brightness LED has a strong growth in backlight display, mobile appliances, automotive devices and outdoor illumination. However, emerging technologies in compound materials, epitaxying, packaging and new entrants result in a scale-based economy and intensively competitive environment. Inspired by the concept of business analytics, this paper proposes a novel framework to conduct corporate diagnosis for Taiwanese LED manufacturers: (1) balanced scorecard is fused with data envelopment analysis to address the impact of operational efficiency on performance outcomes, (2) financial and non-financial indicators are incorporated into the process of performance measurement, (3) the intricate causalities between key performance indicators (KPIs) and multiple outcomes (i.e. earnings per share and return on equity) are captured and (4) managerial insights are provided to indicate adaptive adjustment on significant KPIs. More importantly, a data-set comprising representative Taiwanese LED companies spanned from 2010 to 2014 is used to justify the validity of the proposed framework. 相似文献

This paper proposes a methodology for cell performance evaluation and improvement which considers multiple cell inputs and outputs. A specific technique in data envelopment analysis called 'window analysis', which captures the cell efficiency changes over time, is modified and utilized in the methodology. The evaluation is performed by considering the local part families (manufactured in single cells) and the infrequent parts (manufactured in multiple cells) processed by a cell. A major contribution of this research is in proposing a new 'modified window analysis' technique for cell performance evaluation, and in demonstrating its effectiveness over the 'traditional window analysis'. Another contribution is in using the cross efficiency matrix to identify periods of best cell operating practices which aid management in cell process improvement. 相似文献

In most practical applications of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), it is recognized that there is a gap between the theoretical maximum reduction in inputs, e.g., 1 -θ, versus what is actually achievable. In this paper we examine this phenomenon in the context of productivity measurement of highway maintenance crews. Here, maintenance supervisors and geotechnical engineers estimate the maximum achievable reduction in resources without impacting the outputs from the process. Furthermore, they put bounds on the extent of output erosion that can result from input reduction beyond this maximum level. We present a modified version of the standard Banker, Charnes and Cooper (BCC) DEA model that explicitly addresses this erosion phenomenon. The resulting projections provide maintenance managers with a measure of the impact on system performance under excessive resource reduction, and aid in setting guidelines for maintenance budgeting at the patrol level. 相似文献

The present study intends to present a supplier selection method, which also considers green indicators due to environmental protection issues, by using an analysis network process (ANP) as well as data envelopment analysis (DEA). ANP which is able to consider the interdependency between criteria releases the constraint of DEA that the users cannot set up criteria weight preferences. The model evaluation results for high-tech industry show that the proposed method can provide not only reasonable outcomes with a smaller number of decision making units, but can also provide more consistent results. 相似文献

The Taguchi method is extensively adopted in various industries to continuously improve product design in response to customer requirements. The dynamic system of the Taguchi method is frequently implemented to design products with flexible applications. However, Taguchi's dynamic system can be employed only for individual quality characteristic, and the relationship between the quality characteristic and the signal factor is assumed to be linear. Because of these restrictions, Taguchi's dynamic system is ineffective for multiple quality characteristics or when the quality characteristic has a nonlinear relationship with the signal factor. This study describes a novel procedure for optimizing a dynamic system based on data envelopment analysis. The proposed procedure overcomes the limitations of Taguchi's dynamic system. Two cases are analyzed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed procedure. The results show that the proposed procedure can enhance multiple dynamic quality characteristics.

This study examines the relative efficiency of the R&D process across a group of 22 developed and developing countries using
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The R&D technical efficiency is examined using a model with patents granted to residents
as an output and gross domestic expenditure on R&D and the number of researchers as inputs. Under CRS (Constant Returns to
Scale), Japan, the Republic of Korea and China are found to be efficient, whereas under the VRS (Variable Returns to Scale)
framework, Japan, the Republic of Korea, China, India, Slovenia and Hungary are found to be efficient. The emergence of some
of the developing nations on the efficiency frontier indicates that these nations can also serve as benchmarks for their efficient
use of R&D resources. The inefficiency in the R&D resource usage highlighted by this study indicates the underlying potential
that can be tapped for the development and growth of nations. 相似文献

Road safety performance indicators (SPI) have recently been proposed as a useful instrument in comparing countries on the performance of different risk aspects of their road safety system. In this respect, SPIs should be actionable, i.e. they should provide clear directions for policymakers about what action is needed and which priorities should be set in order to improve a country’s road safety level in the most efficient way. This paper aims at contributing to this issue by proposing a computational model based on data envelopment analysis (DEA). Based on the model output, the good and bad aspects of road safety are identified for each country. Moreover, targets and priorities for policy actions can be set. As our data set contains 21 European countries for which a separate, best possible model is constructed, a number of country-specific policy actions can be recommended. Conclusions are drawn regarding the following performance indicators: alcohol and drugs, speed, protective systems, vehicle, infrastructure and trauma management. For each country that performs relatively poor, a particular country will be assigned as a useful benchmark. 相似文献

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric method for measuring the relative efficiency of a set of decision making units using multiple precise inputs to produce multiple precise outputs. Several extensions to DEA have been made for the case of imprecise data, as well as to improve the robustness of the assessment for these cases. Prevailing robust DEA (RDEA) models are based on mirrored interval DEA models, including two distinct production possibility sets (PPS). However, this approach renders the distance measures incommensurate and violates the standard assumptions for the interpretation of distance measures as efficiency scores. We propose a modified RDEA (MRDEA) model with a unified PPS to overcome the present problem in RDEA. Based on a flexible formulation for the number of variables perturbed, MRDEA calculates the empirical distribution for the interval efficiency for the case of a random number of variables affected. The MRDEA approach also decreases the computational complexity of the RDEA model, as well as significantly increases the discriminatory power of the model without additional information requirements. The properties of the method are demonstrated for four different numerical instances. 相似文献

Currently, comparison between countries in terms of their road safety performance is widely conducted in order to better understand one's own safety situation and to learn from those best-performing countries by indicating practical targets and formulating action programmes. In this respect, crash data such as the number of road fatalities and casualties are mostly investigated. However, the absolute numbers are not directly comparable between countries. Therefore, the concept of risk, which is defined as the ratio of road safety outcomes and some measure of exposure (e.g., the population size, the number of registered vehicles, or distance travelled), is often used in the context of benchmarking. Nevertheless, these risk indicators are not consistent in most cases. In other words, countries may have different evaluation results or ranking positions using different exposure information. In this study, data envelopment analysis (DEA) as a performance measurement technique is investigated to provide an overall perspective on a country's road safety situation, and further assess whether the road safety outcomes registered in a country correspond to the numbers that can be expected based on the level of exposure. In doing so, three model extensions are considered, which are the DEA based road safety model (DEA-RS), the cross-efficiency method, and the categorical DEA model. Using the measures of exposure to risk as the model's input and the number of road fatalities as output, an overall road safety efficiency score is computed for the 27 European Union (EU) countries based on the DEA-RS model, and the ranking of countries in accordance with their cross-efficiency scores is evaluated. Furthermore, after applying clustering analysis to group countries with inherent similarity in their practices, the categorical DEA-RS model is adopted to identify best-performing and underperforming countries in each cluster, as well as the reference sets or benchmarks for those underperforming ones. More importantly, the extent to which each reference set could be learned from is specified, and practical yet challenging targets are given for each underperforming country, which enables policymakers to recognize the gap with those best-performing countries and further develop their own road safety policy. 相似文献

In this note, we identify three major errors contained in Wu and Olson [Wu, D.D. and Olson, D., 2010. Enterprise risk management: a DEA VaR approach in vendor selection. International Journal of Production Research, 48 (16), 4919–4932]. It is shown that the ‘DEA VaR’ model named by the authors is not truly a Value-at-risk (VaR) minimisation problem. It is also pointed out that the authors confused two concepts of stochastic efficiency. Finally, it is revealed that the linearisation technique proposed by the authors is questionable under some conditions and a correction is suggested. 相似文献

With the quick growth of economics, the semiconductor foundry in the Asian area produces a large amount of derived demand for the lead frame. To deal with the quickly changing competitive environment in high technology innovation, better performing firms can constantly capture a competitive advantage. A survey is conducted to obtain the operating data of Asian lead frame firms and a slack analysis in data envelopment analysis (DEA) is applied to identify the benchmarks of the Asian lead frame industry according to their management performance. This study is carried out through literature review and experts’ opinions to conclude assessing factors. This can aid the scholars in their performance evaluation of the related industries. We also interview the CEOs of benchmark firms to attain the outstanding strengths and strategies. In addition, this study investigates the differences among firms in proposing possible improvement strategies for inefficient firms. 相似文献

In our knowledge society, where universities are key players, the assessment of higher education institutions should meet the new demands of the present complex environment. This calls for the use of techniques that are able to manage this complexity. In this paper, we propose a novel combination of methodologies, jointly using a multi-criteria reference point scheme and the data envelopment analysis (DEA) for the assessment of universities. This combination allows us to take into account all the aspects regarded as relevant to assess university performance, and use them as outputs in the efficiency analysis. Our findings highlight the convenience to assess the university performance by using both compensatory and non-compensatory schemes. This way, the information provided allows to detect the actions needed to improve the performances of the universities, rather than just giving an overall performance measure. Furthermore, combining the use of composite indicators with the DEA analysis provides a more complete picture of the institutions assessed, allowing universities to check their efficiency and to detect their weaknesses and strengths accordingly. The approach is illustrated using data of 47 Spanish public universities for the academic year, 2016–2017. 相似文献
