Introduction Production Function
Production Function
The basic relationship between the factors of production and the
output is referred to as a Production Function.
Q = f (V1, V2, . . . , Vm, U1, U2, . . . , Un)
Where:
Q = output
V1, . . . , Vm = Controllable inputs
U1, . . . , Un = Uncontrollable inputs

Disadvantages/Advantages
Disadvantages
Global index not exist for any type of decision making units 5
In developing countries similar to Iran, calculating the Absolute
Efficiency is not beneficial
Advantage
Benchmark with global indexes is good when we want to

Data Envelopment Analysis Introduction
Data Envelopment Analysis
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a data oriented, no-parametric
method to evaluate relative efficiency. based on pre-selected iputs
and outputs.7 DEA is an increasingly popular management tool.
DEA can handle multiple input and multiple output models.
It doesn’t require an assumption of a functional form relating
inputs to outputs.
Inputs and outputs can have very different units. For example,
X1 could be in units of lives saved and X2 could be in units of
dollars without requiring an a priori tradeoff between the two.
