“…This process aims to allocate the resources of a company or an organization to other DMUs. Lozano et al (2011) also indicated that the cost of reallocating resources is lower than that of not reallocating the same resources, with higher average output. They evaluated the efficiency of Spanish harbors by CDEA.…”

“…This study selected several input and output variables by referring to previous literature on public transportation efficiency evaluation for drawing the study input-output variables (Gathon and Pestieau, 1995;Coelli and Perelman, 1999;Coelli and Perelman, 1999;Bañon-Pino et al, 2002;Lozano et al, 2011;Yu and Lin, 2008;Lao and Liu, 2009;Jitsuzumi and Nakamura, 2010;Yu et al, 2013;Fu et al, 2013). Among these studies, input variables include manpower, building area, the number of equipment and routes.…”

“…Conventional DEA individually projects DMUs to the efficiency frontier; by contrast, CDEA simultaneously projects all DMUs to the efficiency frontier. Since raised the concept of centralized resource allocation, many works have extended resource allocation into reallocation Giménez-García et al, 2007;Lozano et al, 2009;Asmild et al, 2009;Lozano et al, 2011;Mar-Molinero et al, 2012;Yu et al, 2013;Fang, 2013). This process aims to allocate the resources of a company or an organization to other DMUs.…”

“…DEA has also been used to estimate the productivity growth of ports (e.g. Estache et al, 2004, Barros and Peypoch, 2007, Guironnet et al, 2009, Lozano, 2009, Haralambides et al, 2010, Barros et al, 2012 and of shipping companies (Managi, 2007, Gutiérrez et al, 2014 as well as for capital budgeting of ports (Lozano et al, 2011).…”

In this paper a two-stage Data Envelopment Approach (DEA) is used to assess the relative efficiency of container shipping agents operating in Spanish ports, studying also its influencing factors. In the first stage, an input-oriented, Variable Returns To Scale (VRS) model is used to compute efficiency scores of the different shipping agents. The model considers labor as input and numbers of loaded and unloaded containers handled as outputs.Scale efficiency, Returns to Scale and average efficiency of shipping agents in each port are reported. In the second stage, different regression approaches are applied to relate the efficiency scores obtained to a number of exogenous variables. The results identify as significant some of these variables such as the number of container lines with which it operates. Belonging to each of four clusters identified from the dataset seems also to have a significant influence on the efficiency of the studied agents.

“…Lozano et al [31] reallocated the emission permits using three lexicographical objectives, namely, maximizing aggregated desirable production, minimizing undesirable total emissions, and minimizing the consumption of input resources. Given a capital budget constraint, Lozano et al [32] proposed a series of centralized DEA models for individual and collective output target setting, input reallocation, and additional input acquisitions. Lozano [33] proposed a slack-based measure model for fixed cost and common revenue allocation under a centralized environment.…”

This paper aims to develop a data envelopment analysis (DEA) based model for allocating input resources and deciding output targets in organizations with a centralized decision-making environment, for example, banks, police stations, and supermarket chains. The central decision-maker has an interest in maximizing the total output production and at the same time minimizing the total input consumption. Traditionally, all decision-making units (DMUs) can be easily projected to the efficient frontier, which is a mathematical feasibility; however, it does not guarantee the managerial feasibility during the planning period. In this paper, we will take potential limitations of input-output changes into account by building a difficulty coefficient matrix of modifying their production in the current production possibility set so that the solution guarantees managerial feasibilities. Three objectives, namely, maximizing aggregated outputs, minimizing the consumption of input resources, and minimizing the total difficulty coefficient, are proposed and incorporated into the formation of resource allocation and target setting scheme. Building on this, we combine DEA and multiobjective programming to solve the resource allocation and target setting problem. In the end, we apply our proposed approach to a real-world problem of sixteen chain hotels to illustrate the efficacy and usefulness of the proposed approach.
