“…DMUs have an average excess of 5.2 % in number of employees, 0.5 % in SCM costs and 12.5 % in total inventory. Inputs excesses affect supply chain performances negatively (Duzakin and Duzakin, 2007). As the costs of goods sold increase, the profits decrease.…”

“…For a supplier to compete in the export market, Piercy et al (1998) list some SC related specifications like cost per unit production, cost of goods sold, selling price to end-user abroad, product quality, product accessibility, delivery speed and reliability. Zou and Stan (1998) Literature cites only a few studies (Duzakin and Duzakin, 2007) that measure the financial performance of manufacturing firms in the DEA context using profit and export variables along with revenue. As a result, considering profit, revenue and export among performance measures will contribute to this study as well as the literature.…”

As the competition in the business world shifts from organizational to supply chain level and consequently include multi dimensions such as cost, quality and speed; efficiency and benchmarking analyses of supply chains require special attention. Within this context, this paper benchmarks the performance of Turkish food and beverage companies and discusses their global competitiveness as well as the improvement opportunities. Namely, it purposes to search for strengths and weaknesses at company level as well as opportunities and threats at the industry level. The methodology involves the data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach and related sensitivity analyses. Results illustrate that export increases supply chain efficiency scores of most companies, supporting some previous studies which show export as an indirect channel to increase productivity. Although Turkish food and beverage companies utilize a limited amount of their resources to generate export revenues and don't realize high export volumes, they seem to use their export strategies wisely and benefit from exports to a certain extent. Results also demonstrate that these companies can generate revenues but cannot utilize their resources and the related supply chains effectively to generate sufficient profits. Increasing the profit level might require more efficiently managed supply chains.

Automobile Industry Strategic Alliance Partner Selection: The Application of a Hybrid DEA and Grey Theory Model

2016

Abstract:Finding the right strategic alliance partner is a critical success factor for many enterprises. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to propose an effective approach based on grey theory and data envelopment analysis (DEA) for selecting better partners for alliance. This study used grey forecasting to predict future business performances and used DEA for the partner selection of alliances. This research was implemented with realistic public data in four consecutive financial years (2009)(2010)(2011)(2012) of the world's 20 biggest automobile enterprises. Nissan Motor Co., Ltd was set to be the target decision making unit (DMU). The empirical results showed that, among 19 candidate DMUs, Renault (DMU10) and Daimler (DMU11) were the two feasible beneficial alliance partners for Nissan. Although this research is specifically applied to the automobile industry, the proposed method could also be applied to other manufacturing industries.

“The Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) seeks to attain high‐quality development and sustainability. This study examines the green total factor energy efficiency (GTFEE) of 58 BRI countries from 2005 to 2019 and its influence factors using the Super slacked‐based measurement and Tobit models. The findings indicate that: 1) Singapore and the other seven countries have GTFEEs above 0.9, which is better than other countries; seven out of 58 countries have GTFEEs below 0.5. 2) Due to regional disparities, Southeast Asia, Central, and Eastern Europe have the greatest GTFEE, followed by South Asia, West Asia, and the Commonwealth of Independent States, and the lowest is in Central Asia, China, and Mongolia. 3) Compared to developing economies, developed economies have a higher GTFEE. 4) Between 2005 and 2019, the overall BRI energy efficiency dropped from 0.75 to 0.56. 5) According to Tobit results, for every 1% increase in economic development and energy structure, GTFEE increases by 0.08% and 0.31% points, respectively, and for every 1% increase in trade and land area, GTFEE decreases by 0.04 and 0.05, respectively. Therefore, BRI countries should strengthen international cooperation, develop advanced technologies, and increase the proportion of renewable energy utilization.
