Abstract

In this paper, we develop an integrated model for slacks-based measure (SBM) simultaneously of both the efficiency and the super-efficiency for decision-making units (DMUs) in data envelopment analysis (DEA). Unlike the traditional solution approaches in which we need to identify the efficient DMUs by the SBM model of Tone (2001) [20] before applying the super SBM model of Tone (2002) [21] for the DMUs to achieve their super-efficiency scores, our integration can obtain the efficiency scores of the inefficient DMUs and the super-efficiency scores of the efficient DMUs by solving simultaneously these two models by an one-stage approach. Therefore, it may save computational time for large-scale practical applications. Due to the non-linearity in the objective function of this integrated model, we develop a linearisation technique to deal with the non-linear model. The numerical experiments, carried out on several examples in the literature and a case study, have demonstrated the accuracy and the computational time effectiveness of our proposed model as compared with the traditional solution approaches.
