“…It is noticeable that DEA is a common approach to measuring the efficiency of universities. However, DEA can also be applied in different industries, such as ICT [26], banking [27,28], hospitals [29][30][31], supplier selection [32][33][34], and energy [35][36][37], and has many other applications [38][39][40][41][42][43].…”

Universities and academic institutions play a very crucial role in nation development through the production of highly competent manpower. The eight universities in New Zealand have been recognized as some of the top academic institutions in the world. However, the rankings from different international organizations are declining and are hardly likely to rise. Government policies in funding allocation are being blamed for the universities’ regress as they operate with an insufficient amount of funds. This study uses the Malmquist Productivity Index model to examine the technical efficiency, technological change, and productivity performance of the eight universities. This model uses a variety of inputs (number of academic and non-academic staff and total enrolment) and outputs (number of degree and postgraduate graduates, total graduates, and total operating revenue from the Equivalent Full-Time Student (EFTS) funding system and the Performance-Based Research Fund (PBRF), etc.) obtained for the period 2013–2018. The overall results show that the average catch-up and frontier-shift efficiencies of the universities are roughly in a “no-change” scenario, meaning that the universities did not make any progress over these years. The Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) also shows a stable result, with average final values slightly higher than 1, wherein only five universities reached an actual productivity score of 1. It is recommended that the universities improve their internal factors, including personnel, equipment, facilities, and student services, while taking accounts of external aspects, such as rapid growth in technological environments and innovations, to achieve sustainable organizational progress and improved productivity. The re-assessment of government policies for funding allocation is also suggested. This research paper offers insights into the New Zealand universities’ productivity performances for the past few years. This could be used as a reference for other purposes.

“…Wang et al [12] proposed an effective approach based on the grey and DEA model for selecting partners in the automobile industry. Wang et al [13] combined the resampling model and super-SBM model to gauge and forecast the relative performance of 17 economics. Yu et al presented two models developed using integrated DEA model [14].…”

The requirements and demand for personal security and public order have increased under great pressure from economic growth and society. This research applied the undesirable output model, which is a mathematical model, to measure the efficiencies of the security department in Taiwan. Further analysis has considered the efficient frontier to classify the efficiency of all 22 counties/cities in Taiwan in 2016, towards a sustainable security environment. The result of this research shown some cities have performed excellent efficiency in the security problem. According to analysis, the efficiency can be improved by decreasing excesses in inputs and bad outputs. This research has evaluated the police departments in Taiwan comprehensively and differentiated the efficiency in safety management of all police departments in Taiwan.

A Compact Pigeon-Inspired Optimization for Maximum Short-Term Generation Mode in Cascade Hydroelectric Power Station

et al. 2020

Pigeon-inspired optimization (PIO) is a new type of intelligent algorithm. It is proposed that the algorithm simulates the movement of pigeons going home. In this paper, a new pigeon herding algorithm called compact pigeon-inspired optimization (CPIO) is proposed. The challenging task for multiple algorithms is not only combining operations, but also constraining existing devices. The proposed algorithm aims to solve complex scientific and industrial problems with many data packets, including the use of classical optimization problems and the ability to find optimal solutions in many solution spaces with limited hardware resources. A real-valued prototype vector performs probability and statistical calculations, and then generates optimal candidate solutions for CPIO optimization algorithms. The CPIO algorithm was used to evaluate a variety of continuous multi-model functions and the largest model of hydropower short-term generation. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is a more effective way to produce competitive results in the case of limited memory devices.
