Abstract

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) measures the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) with multiple performance factors that are grouped into outputs and inputs. DEA has proven to be superior to simple aggregation of performance measures, and is also useful for evaluating the performance of construction companies for comparison with competitor performance. The purpose of this study was to survey literatures on the application of DEA methodology and to propose a methodological scheme to measure the performance of construction organizations. Articles on previous studies were surveyed and examined as part of a comprehensive review. The survey revealed that the application of DEA in the construction industry was li mited. Further, the survey indicated that there is a need for the development of a methodological framework on the special goals and subjects of performance measurement, methods of data structure and collection, selection of appropriate DEA models, analysis of results, and post-test. Based on the survey, this study identified and discussed the types of major issues and topics for future studies from a methodological perspective, which could be helpful to researchers interested in using DEA to study performance issues in construction organizations.

자료포락분석모형은 다수의 산출을 생성하기 위해 다수의 투입을 사용하는 생산시스템의 상대적 효율성을 평가하는 비모수적 방법으로 건설생산체계의 복잡하고 동적인 특성을 반영할 수 있는 유용한 성과측정도구로 활용되고 있다. 본 연구는 DEA 방법론을 적용한 건설 생산조직의 성과측정 문헌들을 체계적으로 분석하고, 주요 이슈들과 향후 연구과제를 도출하였다. 국내외 선행 연구를 분석하여 성과 측정 목표 및 대상, 자료 구조화 방법, 생산가능집합과 효율성 척도 선정, 벤치마킹 및 사후 검증 등의 일련의 단계로 이루어진 성과측정체계를 제안하고, 1997년부터 2013년까지 DEA를 적용하여 국내 건설산업 성과측정 연구를 수행한 21편의 학술지를 분석하였다. 관찰된 주요 특성 및 결과들은 건설기업이 자신의 상대적 효율성 수준을 진단하고, 개선 방향을 제시하고, 향후 예측을 하는데 DEA방법론이 유용하게 적용되어왔다고 나타났다. 그러나 타산업의 연구와 비교해볼 때 국내 건설산업의 효율성 측정은 제한적으로 적용되고 있었다. 본 연구는 연구대상, 자료의 구조화, 측정모형, 모형 검증 등에 대한 개선방향을 제시함으로써 향후 DEA을 적용한 건설산업의 생산성 제고를 위한 연구 체계를 수립하는데 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
