A flexible cross-efficiency fuzzy data envelopment analysis model for sustainable sourcing
TL;DR: In this paper, a product-based framework for sustainable supplier sourcing considering different sustainability, operational and organizational criteria based on the type of outsourced products in the evaluation process is proposed, and a flexible cross-efficiency evaluation methodology based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) is developed for identifying supplier performance.

DEA radial measurement for environmental assessment: A comparative study between Japanese chemical and pharmaceutical firms
Toshiyuki Sueyoshi,Mika Goto +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a DEA model is used to measure unified operational and environmental efficiency by considering energy utilization and environmental protection, and two scale measures are quantitatively explored under two disposability concepts.

Examining the drivers of total factor productivity change with an illustrative example of 14 EU countries
TL;DR: In this article, an extension of data envelopment analysis is used to analyze the performance of 14 countries of the European Union for the period 1995-2004, and an average eco-productivity growth of 22% is observed.

Greenhouse gas emissions and the technical efficiency of dairy farmers
O.K. Shortall,Andrew Barnes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between the technical and environmental efficiency of dairy farms in Scotland with respect to greenhouse gas emissions and found that farms which are more technically efficient, are bigger or have higher yields are also more efficient in their emissions of GHG emissions.

Assessing agricultural eco-efficiency in Italian Regions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the eco-efficiency of the Italian agricultural sector, as an index useful for emphasizing the differences among some national geographical areas, focusing on the integration between agricultural productivity and resource conservation in order to develop a support tool for policy makers and managers.

Measuring the efficiency of decision making units
TL;DR: A nonlinear (nonconvex) programming model provides a new definition of efficiency for use in evaluating activities of not-for-profit entities participating in public programs and methods for objectively determining weights by reference to the observational data for the multiple outputs and multiple inputs that characterize such programs.

Some Models for Estimating Technical and Scale Inefficiencies in Data Envelopment Analysis
TL;DR: The CCR ratio form introduced by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes, as part of their Data Envelopment Analysis approach, comprehends both technical and scale inefficiencies via the optimal value of the ratio form, as obtained directly from the data without requiring a priori specification of weights and/or explicit delineation of assumed functional forms of relations between inputs and outputs as mentioned in this paper.

Decisions with Multiple Objectives: Preferences and Value Trade-Offs
TL;DR: In this article, a confused decision maker, who wishes to make a reasonable and responsible choice among alternatives, can systematically probe his true feelings in order to make those critically important, vexing trade-offs between incommensurable objectives.

Foundations of data envelopment analysis for Pareto-Koopmans efficient empirical production functions
TL;DR: The construction and analysis of Pareto-efficient frontier production functions by a new Data Envelopment Analysis method is presented in the context of new theoretical characterizations of the inherent structure and capabilities of such empirical production functions.
