“…A and e are averaged without the leading diagonal, which is self-appraisal. When the literature is examined, it is seen that the annual cargo handled (mt) is the main output of a dry-bulk and general cargo terminal (Merk & Dang, 2012;Suliman et al, 2019). This value can represent almost all port activities, such as conveying, storage and discharge, as the handling service is directly or indirectly related to other services.…”

“…As conclusion, there was an efficiency potential of up to seventy per cent, especially in grain terminals. Suliman et al (2019) similarly examined the technical efficiency of dry-bulk cargo terminals in Malaysia with DEA. They drew attention to the high performance of the terminals examined in the study in which they tried to create an appropriate empirical framework for frontier-based relative efficiency measurement.…”

Dry bulk and general cargo terminals are the facilities that should quickly adapt to global supply chain dynamics. Each loading/unloading, conveying, horizontal carriage and temporary storage process involves complex organizational structures and procedures. Planned physical investments may lead to inefficiency under dynamic environmental conditions and may also result in a waste of resources. This study aims to examine the technical efficiency of dry-bulk and general cargo terminals in Türkiye with DEA cross-efficiency and DEA Slacks-based models. The findings imply that the terminals handling iron and steel are more efficient than the others. Besides, on average, the dry bulk and general cargo terminals can achieve higher output levels with fewer infrastructures and handling equipment. Therefore, it may be appropriate for the terminals examined to revise their resource utilization rates and short-term investment strategies. Moreover, since it allows pair-wise comparisons of terminals handling similarly featured cargo, DEA cross-efficiency can play a crucial role in dry-bulk performance measurement. Input slacks of relatively inefficient terminals are also calculated.

“…Nowadays, all aspects of the management of the global maritime industry are undergoing digital transformation, from the specific practical needs of evaluating the technical efficiency of terminals for various types of cargo using data envelopment analysis (Suliman et al, 2019) to the tasks of comparative analysis of business models of liner shipping companies (Lam and Wong, 2018). The digital transformation of management, as defined by some scientists, at present has the character of a digital revolution (Verhoef et al, 2019).…”

Introduction. The significant dynamic nature of modern geopolitical and military threats sets new requirements for evaluating the criteria effectiveness of solving maritime industry management problems, requires new methodological approaches and mathematical models for evaluating criteria, and determines a new architecture of information systems in the structure of which these approaches and models are implemented. This makes the issue of the analysis of the application of criteria and the development, research, and implementation of such models and systems extremely relevant. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the study is to create a methodological approach to evaluating the criteria that characterize the effectiveness of the management of the maritime industry, with the dynamic change of criteria due to the influence of threats and challenges. Results. A methodological approach has been developed to evaluate the criteria that characterize the effectiveness of the management of the maritime industry based on the model for assessing the convergence of the absolute values of the first derivatives of the criteria over time, which, at short time intervals, can be considered as criteria change trends. It has been established that instead of reducing transportation costs, management switches to the principle of ensuring optimal costs, which leads to an increase in the cost of freight and shock reactions in the sea transportation market. It was established that it is advisable to use the LSCI criterion as an indicator of the negative effect of “local optimization”. After determining the development trends of the criteria, their evaluation as well as the assessment of their convergence were carried out, which became the basis for proposing directions for improving the efficiency of maritime industry management. Conclusions. The developed methodological approach and the mathematical model of its implementation make it possible to conduct both quantitative and qualitative analyses of the effectiveness of management of the maritime industry. To increase the efficiency of management, it is proposed: to integrate port community systems; to increase the stability of the port infrastructure so that it can function in crisis conditions; to achieve coordination of management actions at all levels; to avoid “local optimization” and introduce integral optimization; to respond not only to direct threats but also to detect the cascading effects of threats.

This study advances healthcare process optimization, focusing on surgery roadmaps in the healthcare system, a scenario exemplifying optimization challenges due to limited information. This chapter emphasizes enhancing efficiency and resource utilization by employing lean manufacturing, operational research, simulation, data envelopment analysis, and non-dominance analysis. This study discovers 32 correlated patient pathways, showing shared activities and simultaneous multi-route impact from optimization strategies. Instead of merely analyzing pathway performance, the study applies data envelopment analysis to various investment scenarios, providing insights for healthcare decision-makers on improving patient care quality and efficiency. The juxtaposition of data envelopment analysis with a non-dominance algorithm in this mixed-method approach offers a robust framework for addressing healthcare operational challenges, particularly under information scarcity, and promotes continuous process improvement.
