Book Description
Many firms, in the general business setting, produce goods at spatially separated plants and meet spatially separated demands. These firms frequently have a volume such that intermediate distribution points are necessary. The location of these distribution points is a nontrivial problem. The firm needs to locate these points consistent with its production, demand, and transportation facilities. The fundamental problem is to establish a tradeoff between facility, transportation, and production costs. Geoffrion and Graves have recently presented a model which handles a class of distribution problems. However, their formulation assumes that production of each commodity at each plant is fixed and invariant. This paper argues that production is a controllable variable and that the location of production should be considered simultaneously with the location of distribution points. The paper proceeds to first present and discuss the Geoffrion and Graves formulation. Specific algorithmic advantages of their formulation will be discussed along with a brief discussion of the short-comings of their model. From here the paper moves on to present a revised formulation which maintains many of the computational features of the Geoffrion and Graves approach. A computational, decomposition approach to this problem is presented followed by a formal algorithm statement. The final part of the paper presents an example problem.

Dynamics of Data Envelopment Analysis
Author: Jati Sengupta
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401585067
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Data envelopment analysis develops a set of nonparametric and semiparametric techniques for measuring economic efficiency among firms and nonprofit organizations. Over the past decade this technique has found most widespread applications in public sector organizations. However these applications have been mostly static. This monograph extends this static framework of efficiency analysis in several new directions. These include but are not limited to the following: (1) a dynamic view of the production and cost frontier, where capital inputs are treated differently from the current inputs, (2) a direct role of the technological progress and regress, which is so often stressed in total factor productivity discussion in modem growth theory in economics, (3) stochastic efficiency in a dynamic setting, where reliability improvement competes with technical efficiency, (4) flexible manufacturing systems, where flexibility of the production process and the economies of scope play an important role in efficiency analysis and (5) the role of economic factors such as externalities and input interdependences. Efficiency is viewed here in the framework of a general systems theory model. Such a view is intended to broaden the scope of applications of this promising new technique of data envelopment analysis. The monograph stresses the various applied aspects of the dynamic theory, so that it can be empirically implemented in different situations. As far as possible abstract mathematical treatments are avoided and emphasis placed on the statistical examples and empirical illustrations.
