Engineering Applications of Data Envelopment Analysis

摘要: Engineering is concerned with the design of products, services, processes, or in general systems. These activities are managed and improved by organization’s decision-makers. Therefore, performance evaluation production function where engineering plays a fundamental role an integral part managerial decision-making. In last twenty years, there has been limited research that uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) Engineering. One can attribute this to number issues include but not to: lack understanding DEA assessing improving decisions, inability open input/output process transformation box, unavailability data. Nevertheless, existing applications have focused on alternative configurations, proposed improvement interventions for processes at disaggregated level, ass essed preformance hierarchical manufacturing organizations, studied dynamical behavior systems, dealt data imprecision issues. This chapter discusses researcher faces when applying problems, proposes approach integrated based measurement system, summarizes studies DEA, suggests some systems thinking concepts appropriate future
