Molinero and Tsai (1997) proposed a data envelopment analysis (DEA) model to evaluate a production entity that is characterized by shared inputs and shared outputs. They claimed that their proposed model has a convex solution space, and thus a convex program. This conclusion, if it were correct,...

In the literature, many researchers study the performance of a production system with shared resources based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The extant models are based on the multiplier type models and resource allocation variables (RAVs) in some simple but instructive network settings such...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate design performance of 51 gear shaping machines by using data envelopment analysis (DEA). Design/methodology/approach: Existing studies extend traditional DEA by handling bounded and discrete data based on envelopment models. However, value...
