Abstract

In judging the performance of a production unit, one commonly examines whether or not the unit is productive efficient. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a linear programming based technique for measuring the performance efficiency of organizational units which are termed as Decision Making Units (DMUs). This technique aims to measure how efficiently a decision making unit uses the resources available to generate a set of outputs. This method has been successfully employed for assessing the relative performance of set of firms that uses a variety of identical inputs to produce a variety of identical outputs.

The main aim of present research study is to measure the efficiency in decision making units by using CCR and BCC models.
