In most real world situations that are modeled using LP, conditions are dynamic and changing. Hence, input data such as resource availabilities, prices, and costs used in the LP model are estimated, rather than known with certainty. In such environments, sensitivity analysis can be used to identify the ranges of values of these input

DEA Tutorial Abstract Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a linear programming based technique for measuring the relative performance of organisational units where the presence of multiple inputs and outputs makes comparisons difficult. This tutorial paper introduces the technique and uses an example to show how relative efficiencies can be determined and targets for inefficient units set. The paper also considers a number of practical issues of concern in applying the technique. Introduction

Solving the Salinity Control Problem in a Potable Water System⋆ Chiu Wo Choi and Jimmy H.M. Lee Department of Computer Science and Engineering The Chinese University of Hong Kong Shatin, N.T., Hong Kong {cwchoi,jlee}@cse.cuhk.edu.hk Abstract. Salinity is the relative concentration of salts in water. In a city of southern China, the local water supply company pumps water from a nearby river for potable use. During the winter dry season, the intrusion of sea water raises the salinity of the river

transportation problem at Shaktiman Cement and strives to provide a solution to the problem. The transportation problem at Shaktiman Cement consists of three production plants and three construction sites. The company has to figure out a way to satisfy the demands of the three construction sites using the cement it produces and transport the cement from its plants to the construction sites at the minimum transportation cost possible. The solution to the transportation problem was arrived at

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS 4-1. In most real world situations that are modeled using LP, conditions are dynamic and changing. Hence, input data such as resource availabilities, prices, and costs used in the LP model are estimated, rather than known with certainty. In such environments, sensitivity analysis can be used to identify the ranges of values of these input data for which the current LP solution remains optimal. This is done without solving the problem again each time we need

locations of the organization, or evaluating how the process has been performing at a particular location over consecutive periods of time (also called window analysis). DEA i.e. Data Envelopment Analysis tool is targeted towards solving such managerial problems, and can be applied to both macro-level and micro-level processes, thereby providing an effective performance measurement and monitoring framework for Business Process Intelligence (BPI). It caters to the performance evaluation needs of both top

INTRODUCTION To start with Indian commercial banking was dominated by private ownership; profit and return to investments were its performance indicators. This was the scenario prior to 1969. Subsequently, commercial banks were nationalized adding to their list additional objectives of optimizing social benefit and geographical expansion to meet the growing needs of people. Globalization opened gates to increased competition by the entry of foreign banks. The changes that are taking world
