Explore how data envelopment analysis measures operating efficiency in service networks and spot practical paths to improvement.
This study applies data envelopment analysis (DEA) to fourteen bank branches to compare how efficiently they convert inputs into outputs. It uses three inputs, including labor and costs like rent and supplies, and four outputs that cover a range of service activities. The analysis shows how efficiency is determined by the best use of resources across similar units, and how some branches may be inefficient relative to their peers.

This book introduces Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as a tool that can evaluate the operating efficiency of service businesses by measuring productivity and efficiency. The author positions DEA as a useful technique within the broader context of business analysis. They posit that DEA is especially valuable when traditional financial ratio techniques are insufficient or misleading. The book then explores the method's application by presenting a study that uses DEA to evaluate the performance of fourteen bank branches. The results of the study demonstrate how DEA can identify inefficiencies and suggest ways to improve operating procedures. The author concludes that DEA can be a valuable tool for service businesses looking to improve performance and increase profitability.
