Efficiency Improvement with Minimum Amelioration

摘要：

Decision makers are keen to seek a practical and feasible way to improve the efficiency of their firms. Current DEA researches mostly focus on efficiency measurement, which can not satisfy the desire of decision makers. The current study develops an approach to deal with this issue. Differing with the model proposed by Gonzalez (2001)21, this article provides a modified model to re-allocate the inputs and outputs of inefficient DMUs with minimum amelioration by considering the preference of decision makers and other factors which impact the learning process. It is shown that Gonzalez model is a special case of the modified model.Further, a heuristic algorithm is proposed to solve the model.
