Integrating Slacks-based Measure of Efficiency and Super-efficiency in Data Envelopment Analysis

In this paper, we develop an integrated model for slacks- based measure (SBM) simultaneously of both the efficiency and the super-efficiency for decision-making units (DMUs) in data envelopment analysis (DEA). Unlike the traditional solution approaches in which we need to identify the efficient DMUs...

description In this paper, we develop an integrated model for slacks- based measure (SBM) simultaneously of both the efficiency and the super-efficiency for decision-making units (DMUs) in data envelopment analysis (DEA). Unlike the traditional solution approaches in which we need to identify the efficient DMUs by the SBM model of Tone [20] before applying the super SBM model of Tone [21] for the DMUs to achieve their super-effciency scores, our integration can obtain the efficiency scores of the infficient DMUs and the super-efficiency scores of the efficient DMUs by solving simultaneously these two models by an onestage approach. Therefore, it may save computational time for large-scale practical applications. Due to the non-linearity in the objective function of this integrated model, we develop a linearisation technique to deal with the non-linear model. The numerical experiments, carried out on several examples in the literature and a case study, have demonstrated the accuracy and the computational time effectiveness of our proposed model as compared with the traditional solution approaches
