Assessing the efficiency of hospitals is a critical research problem in the health care sector. In this paper, we employ the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method to integrate multiple inputs (beds, physicians, nurses, staffs) and multiple outputs (patients, discharges, surgeries, revenue) to develop efficiency measures of the hospitals. In addition, we derive the case-mix index to incorporate information...
Due to the importance in organization management and cost research, how to allocate a fixed cost across a set of competing units in an equitable manner draw more and more attention. Cook and Zhu proposed an approach with data envelopment analysis (DEA) efficiency invariance principle to solve such allocation problems, but we will present their model does not consider the effect caused by the allocated...
An issue of considerable importance, involves the problem of how to simultaneously allocate a fixed input resources and set targets among a set of competing entities in an equitable way. Based on data envelopment analysis (DEA), the current paper proposes a new method for simultaneously allocating fixed input resources and setting targets to all decision making units (DMUs), in such a way that all...
Human resources management in construction projects is an important component of construction projects management. Human resource performance appraisal is the core of project human resources management and the objective basis for implementation of the scientific and rational salary management in project organization. It is significant for improving the scientific nature of project human resources...
WY model has been proven to be an efficient method for congestion and returns to scale in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). In this paper, we research the relationship between technical efficient and pare to solution in WY model. We prove that if a DMU is a pare to solution in WY model, it must be DEA technically efficient. However, the converse may not true. The condition for a technically efficient...
The problem of how to allocate a fixed cost or resource among a set of competing entities in an equitable way is a considerably important issue. Based on data envelopment analysis (DEA), the current paper proposes a new method for allocating fixed costs and resources to all decision making units (DMUs) respectively, in such a way that the relative efficiencies of DMUs remain unchanged and the distribution...
While conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) models set targets separately for each decision making unit (DMU), Lozano and Villa (2004) introduced the concept of ldquocentralizedrdquo DEA models, which aim at optimizing the combined resource consumption by all units in an organization rather than considering the consumption by each unit, separately. In these models, there is a centralized decision...
It is necessary to analyze the anti-terrorism performance of Taiwanpsilas security system after September 11, 2001 attacks. We use three stage data envelopment analysis model that Fried et al. (2002) developed, getting intelligence performance of the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice, to discuss the ability of anti-terrorism in Taiwanpsilas national security system. Putting 10 outputs,...
