Measuring relative efficiency of academic units which have similar area of research, methodology and resource profiles, has often been the subject of interest. To have such similarities among those units, make sense for the comparison of those units via data envelopment analysis(DEA). In this...

This article contains a method for classifying Data Envelopment Analysis models. Two main criteria i.e. orientation and returns to scale are used. These criteria enable distinguishing between oriented and non-oriented DEA models with constant and variable returns to scale. Basic properties of...

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....

There is no doubt the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a powerful method for the efficiency evaluation of Decision Making Units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and outputs. Despite its usefulness, DEA has some notable limitations. A significant drawback with this approach is that inability to...

Despite the growing popularity of supply chain management (SCM) both among managers and scholars, the efficiency of implementation of SCM has been barely assessed in an analytic way. The purpose of this study is to shift the attention of SCM scholars towards an in-depth investigation of SCM...

Abstract Murthy and Sarma (Assam Statistical Review 12: 1–5, 1998) proposed and studied two biased estimators for the expectation of the normal distribution N ( μ , σ 2 ) when the coefficient of variation is known and is given by . Their estimators for small samples were found to be...

In this study, we focus on how banks can enhance their efficiency in the utilization of resources to ensure their economic sustainability. We propose a novel three-stage (production, investment, and revenue generation) network Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with bootstrapping to evaluate the...
