Efficiency Analysis of Multi-Stage Systems in the Presence of Undesirable Outputs
Keywords:
Network DEA, Undesirable Outputs, Intermediate Products, Scale efficiency, MPSS.Abstract
Most traditional DEA models treat their reference technologies as black boxes. Moreover, they do not consider undesirable factors in the model. Lozano present a DEA model that considers intermediate products. This paper extends Lozano by assuming that there exist some undesirable outputs. A model is proposed to evaluate the performance of this type multistage systems. The proposed approach is applied to a number of case studies from the literature and compared with existing approaches.
