After the introduction of Volume-based Waste Fee System for municipal wastes, the disposal of food wastes became an issue in society. As this reason, recycling food wastes facilities play an important role such as converting of food waste into animal feed or composting of food waste. Therefore, there is need of efficiency measurement of the facilities to reduce the inefficiency of factors. The purpose of this paper is to make a reasonable suggestion for the improvement of inefficient recycling food wastes facilities. This paper assesses the relative efficiency of recycling food wastes facilities by examining the relationship between inputs and outputs in 41 facilities using data envelopment analysis(DEA). The result shows that 4 facilities whose values of CCR efficiency are 1, and 10 facilities whose values of BCC efficiency are 1, RTS indicates IRS of 17 facilities and CRS of 6 facilities.

The main purpose of this research is to measure and analyze how productive the health centers are and how much inputs(or outputs) in the inefficient health centers should be decreased(or increased) for efficiency. The evaluation of the performance of health centers gives a strong incentive to improve resource allocation in regional health planning. It has been, however, implemented very rarely until now. In this regard, this paper measures the performance of the health centers with a single indicator for multiple-outputs in terms of productivity(technical efficiency), based on Data Envelopment method. The 20 Kyungnam health centers which provide clinic services and specific primary health care services were analyzed. The results show that 50.0% of 20 health centers were productive with respective to overall technical efficiency, 65.0% were productive for pure technical efficiency, and 50.0% for scale efficiency. The inefficient group includes Geoje, Mahsan, Miryang, Sahchun, Tongyoung, Gosung, Nahmhae, Euryang, Hahmahn, Hahbchun health centers. The worst case was identified as Tongyoung health center which represented a 47.5% efficiency, compared with productive health centers. The empirical results for input-output analysis indicates that the low-productive health centers have excessive manpower in administration department, producing low outputs in clinical services and vaccination program. These findings imply that a systemic evaluation of the performance of the Korean health centers and the subsequent structural reform are strongly required.

오늘날과 같이 급속히 변화하는 기업경영 환경에서 조직이 생존하고 번영하기 위해 기업의 경영 성과를 향상시켜야 하고 이를 위해서는 생산성 또는 효율성을 꾸준히 평가할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 평가대상의 상대적 효율성을 측정하기 위해 개발된 DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) 방법론을 이용하여 국내 컨테이너터미널 운영사의 경영 효율성을 비교 분석함으로써 2007년부터 2009년까지의 터미널 운영사의 효율성 수준을 파악해 보았다. 연구결과 2007년부터 2009년까지 점차적으로 영업이익률이 줄어드는 현상이 나타나는데, 이것은 산출변수에는 큰 변화가 없는 반면 투입변수는 지속적으로 증가하고 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이것은 동 기간 사이에 컨테이너터미널 업체수는 증가하였음에도 불구하고 물동량의 증가가 미미하여, 물동량 확보를 위한 터미널 업체들간의 경쟁이 치열해졌다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 경쟁은 하역요율의 단가하락 문제를 발생시켰으며, 이로 인해 업체들의 경영악화가 가속되었다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구 결과는 물동량 변화에 따른 투입변수의 최적화를 통해 컨테이너터미널 운영사의 경영효율성을 제고하는데 기여 할 것으로 판단된다.

Currently, there are very few papers that have examined the efficiency of Vietnamese ports. Of those that have, some of them take into account only a few container ports in Northern Vietnam. Others focus on comparing all types of ports in Vietnam with regard to the differences in efficiency scores when applying different methods to evaluate efficiency. However, there is no paper that specifically analyzes the efficiency of Vietnamese container ports throughout the country or that compares Vietnamese container ports with those of other countries in terms of efficiency. In order to provide more accurate and interesting information for container port authorities, in this study, 21 major Vietnamese container ports and seven major Korean container ports are selected and examined with regard to their levels of efficiency in 2016 using data envelopment analysis (DEA). This paper applies both constant return to scale (CRS) and variable return to scale (VRS) to explore the differences among overall technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency, and scale efficiency of the selected container ports. This study also indicate slacks and sets projections for inefficient ports.

The process of semiconductor(IC Package) manufacturing usually includes lots of complex and sequential processes. Many kinds of equipments are installed with the mixed concept of serial and parallel manufacturing system. The business environments of the semiconductor industry have been changed frequently, because new technologies are developed continuously. It is the main reason of new investment plan and layout consideration. However, it is difficult to change the layout after installation, because the major equipments are expensive and difficult to move. Furthermore, it is usually a multiple-objective problem. Thus, new investment or layout change should be carefully considered when the production environments likewise product mix and production quantity are changed. This paper introduces a simulation case study of a Korean company that produces packaging substrates(especially lead frames) and requires multi-objective decision support. $QUEST^{(R)}$ is used for simulation modelling and AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) and DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) are used for weighting of qualitative performance measures and solving multiple-objective layout problem, respectively.

The paper estimates changes in total factor productivity and technical efficiency change index and technical change index using Malmquist productivity index(MPI) in fisheries wholesale products over the time period of 2006 through 2008. The model considers a number of employees and operating costs as input factors, and sales and EBIT(earnings before tax and interest) as output factors. The results indicate that, between 2006 and 2007, there is in general technical progress in which TCI(Technical Change Index) indicates 2.7994 in the sale scale of 50 million won through 100 million won, while there are no efficiency in TECI(Technical Efficiency Change Index), PECI(Pure Efficiency Change Index) and SECI(Scale Efficiency Change Index) which are estimated to be around 1. Between 2007 and 2008 technical efficiency and technical progress are generally declined, compared to those of 2006 and 2007. Wilcoxon's rank-sum test shows that there are statistically significant difference of TCI and MPI between two periods at the level of 5%, while there are statistically significant difference of TECI, PECI and SECI between two periods at the level of 5%.

본 연구에서는 최근에 투입과 산출관계가 복잡한 비영리기관의 운영효율성을 평가하는데 많이 적용되고 있는 DEA분식기법을 이용하여 국내일반은행의 생산성을 상대적 개념에서 측정하고, 은행감독원에 의한 경영평가와 금융감독위원회의 은행퇴출평가 결과를 비교하여 봄으로서 평가결과가 타당성이 있는지 여부를 알아보았다. 금융감독위원회의 평가는 수익성, 건전성, 유동성, 내부유보 등 비율분석에 의한 평가와 BIS비율 등을 고려하여 평가해 왔기 때문에 다산출물 대 다투입물이 상호작용하는 것을 무시하고 있다는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 그리고 은행감독원의 평가와 DEA기법에 의한 경영효율성 간에는 상당한 차이가 있는 것으로 드러났다. 본 연구 분석결과로는 1995년도 효율성 값이 하위 5개 은행은 국민은행, 충북은행, 광주은행, 경남은행, 평화은행이며, 1996년도 효율성 값이 하위 5개 은행은 광주은행, 제주은행, 동남은행, 전북은행, 국민은행, 1997년도의 효율성 값이 하위 5개 은행은 대동은행, 광주은행, 충청은행, 충북은행, 전북은행으로 분석되었다. 퇴출은행 5개중 1996년도에 동남은행, 1997년도에 대동은행, 충청은행만이 효율성 값이 하위 5위안에 포함되어 본 연구의 분석결과와 다소 상이한 결과가 분석되었다. 그리고 DEA 분석모형에 의하면 비율분석에서는 점검할 수 없는 은행의 상대적 경영효율성을 분석한 결과가 금융당국의 평가결과와 다소 일치한 점도 있으나 운영효율성 측면에서 퇴출대상은행이 효율성이 높은 은행으로 평가되어 금융감독위원회가 결정한 퇴출대상은행과 DEA 분석결과와는 상이한 결과가 도출되었다.

This paper proposes a strategic portfolio model for managing performance of online games. The portfolio matrix is composed of two dimensions: financial performance and non-financial performance. Financial performance is measured by the conventional measure, average revenue per user (ARPU). In terms of non-financial performance, five non-financial key performance indicators (KPIs) that have been widely used in the online game industry are utilized: RU (Register User), VU (Visiting User), TS (Time Spent), ACU (Average Current User), MCU (Maximum Current User). Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is then employed to produce a single performance measure aggregating the five KPIs. DEA is a linear programming model for measuring the relative efficiency of decision making unit (DMUs) with multiple inputs and outputs. This study employs DEA as a tool for multiple criteria decision making (MCDM), in particular, the pure output model without inputs. Combining the two types of performance produces the online game portfolio matrix with four quadrants: Dark Horse, Stop Loss, Jack Pot, Luxury Goods. A case study of 39 online games provided by company 'N' is provided. The proposed portfolio model is expected to be fruitfully used for strategic decision making of online game companies.

Scientific and technological performances (e.g., patents and publications) made through R&D play a pivotal role for national economic growth. National governments encourage academia-industry cooperation and thereby pursue continuous development of science technology and innovation. Increasing R&D-related investments and manpower are crucial for national industrial development, but evidence of poor performance in business performance, efficiency, and effectiveness has recently been found in Korea. This study evaluates performance efficiency of the 6T sector (Information Technology, Bio Technology, Nano Technology, Space Technology, Environment Technology, Culture Technology), which is considered a high-potential promising industry for the next generation growth and currently occupies two thirds of the national R&D projects. The study measures the relative efficiency of R&D in a comparative perspective by employing the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. The result reveals overall low efficiency in basic R&D (0.2112), applied R&D (0.2083), development R&D (0.2638), and others (0.0641), confirming that economic performance and efficiency were relatively poor compared to production efficiency. Efficient R&D needs policy makers to create strategies that can increase overall efficiency by improving productivity performance and quality while increasing economic performance.

The significance of high-quality development and green total factor productivity has attracted widespread attention and research, while few studies on green total factor productivity that considers the use of water resources have been conducted in the context of water shortages and water stress. In this study, the green total factor productivity of water use from 2005 to 2015 in mainland China is evaluated based on the global Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index. Results show that: (1) China's green total factor productivity of water use has been improving since 2005 with an annual global Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index of 1.0104. (2) At the regional level, the eastern zone in mainland China owns the highest green total factor productivity of water use, while that in the intermediate zone ranks last. (3) The green total factor productivity of water use in the southern region (1.0113) significantly higher than that in the northern region (1.0095), and also higher than the national average level in the same period. BPC index has been the most important incluencing factor of green total factor productivity of water use at both national level and regional level since 2011.
