A two-stage supply chain DEA model for measuring container-terminal efficiency

Despite the growing amount of research into container-port operations and efficiency, much of the literature on the subject treats container ports and terminals as black box systems without examining the structure of their transformation and production processes. Research on the network and multi-stage structure of container-terminal operating systems is scarce and its applications in the conte…

Technical Efficiency Analysis of Container Terminals in the Middle Eastern Re…

Despite an increasing number of studies on the efficiency of container terminals, their focus has mostly been on advanced and emerging markets. There are limited studies on container terminals in developing countries such as those of the Middle Eastern region, which are located in a critical geographic position in the international maritime route between the East and the West. Information on th…

Total factor carbon emission performance: A Malmquist index analysis

This paper introduces a Malmquist CO2 emission performance index (MCPI) for measuring changes in total factor carbon emission performance over time. The MCPI is derived by solving several data envelopment analysis models. Bootstrapping MCPI is proposed to perform statistical inferences on the MCPI results. Using the index the emission performance of the world's 18 top CO2 emitters from 1997 …

A new method for detecting outliers in Data Envelopment Analysis

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a computationally convenient way to measure efficiency that does not require an explicit functional relationship between inputs and outputs. However, because the frontier is constructed using extreme observations, DEA can be sensitive to extreme points, especially when data may be contaminated by measurement error. In such settings, the technical efficiency sc…

North American containerport productivity: 1984–1997

This paper undertakes two tasks: measurement of seaport infrastructure productivity growth in North America from 1984 to 1997, and exploration of several theorized causal relationships between infrastructure productivity and industry structure and conduct.

An optimization approach to determining the number of vendors to employ

Presents an approach for evaluating the number of vendors to employ in a procurement situation using multiobjective programming (MOP) and data envelopment analysis (DEA). The approach advocates developing vendor-order quantity solutions (referred to as supervendors) using MOP and then evaluating the efficiency of these supervendors on multiple criteria using DEA. Formulations are presented for …

An efficiency analysis of cargo-handling operations at container terminals

In this paper, a Data Envelopment Analysis approach is used to assess the efficiency of cargo-handling operations at a container terminal and study the factors influencing it. The aim is to provide recommendations that would allow a container terminal to reach high technical efficiency scores, in order to increase its inner productivity. A three-stage methodological framework is proposed to ana…

Application of centralised DEA approach to capital budgeting in Spanish ports

In this paper, we propose a number of non-radial, output-oriented, centralised DEA models to determine individual and collective output target levels, input slacks and input reallocations as well as additional inputs acquisitions under a capital budget constraint. The application of the proposed approach to the Spanish Port Agency is presented. The overall amount of inefficiency currently found…

The efficiency of European container terminals and implications for supply ch…

This paper investigates the efficiency of container terminals within the context of global supply chain management. The efficiency and scale properties of 104 of Europe’s container terminals with annual throughput of over 10,000 TEUs1 in 2003, distributed across 29 European countries, are derived using data envelopment analysis. The main findings are that significant inefficiency pervades mos…

The technical efficiency of container ports: Comparing data envelopment analy…

The efficiency of the container port industry has been variously studied utilising either Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) or Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). Given the strengths and weaknesses associated with these two approaches, the efficiency estimates and scale properties derived from these analyses are not always convincing. This paper applies both approaches to the same set of containe…

DEA-based performance measurement of seaports in Northeast Asia-radial and no…

The center of global container traffic has been shifted from the Europe and the U.S.A. to the region of Northeast Asia, which mainly includes China, Japan and Korea. How to survive in the fiercest competitive environment and to optimize the logistics network in the region of Northeast Asia is becoming a hot topic in both business and academic area. This paper proposes a scheme to estimate the t…

Logistics firms performance: efficiency and effectiveness perspectives

The purpose of this paper is to assess the efficiency, effectiveness and performance of logistics companies in Singapore and Malaysia which are the growing logistics hubs in Asia by using a triangular data envelopment analysis (DEA). It also identifies various factors that significantly affect the efficiency, effectiveness and performance of the Singaporean and Malaysian logistics companies and…

The efficiency analysis of container port production using DEA panel data app…

Applications of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to container port production have been largely restricted to standard DEA models using cross-sectional data. The efficiency results derived may be biased; for instance, as the result of random effects or a recent investment in future production. In overcoming this problem, panel data on container port production may be more suitable for medium- to…

Slacks-based efficiency measures for modeling environmental performance

We develop two slacks-based efficiency measures for modeling environmental performance on the basis of environmental DEA technology. Of the two measures, one is a composite index with a higher discriminating power for modeling economic–environmental performance, and the other can be used to estimate the impacts of environmental regulations. We apply the proposed measures to model the CO2 emis…

On balancing supply chain efficiency and environmental impacts : an eco-DEA m…

Indian dry ports (inland cargo-consolidation and distribution centres) are expected to play a pivotal role in connecting the North Indian heartland with the gateway seaports of Mundra, JNPT and Chennai. However, in this process, dry ports contribute considerably to the vexing problem of atmospheric pollution because of the ensuing road and rail transportation. There is a considerable body of re…

This paper focuses on measuring the efficiency of container terminals in Europe using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach. Container terminals in Europe play an important role in the region’s economic development and, as the result of their geographic concentration, face fierce competition compared with the rest of the world. Despite this, studies of the efficiency of container termi…
