I want to asses the efficiency of the supply chain using DEA. However, DEA's approach is based on relative efficiency; meaning it seeks the best practice among same organisations . Therefore, Can we benchmark the firm to its optimal performance or do we have to benchmark it against other branches ?
you can image supply chain as a network. then you can network DEA method.
Implementing the data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach requires decision-making units (DMUs), inputs and outputs (as the criteria for evaluating these units). If the nature of each supply chain member dose not important, you can simply use this method. But in reality, and due to the difference in the nature of each member, it maybe possible that you can use the multi-group DEA method.
I see. Thank very much. I am trying to link the DEA model to my System dynamics' model's output simulation. I guess my question would be have you ever tried to used PyDea ? Or should I go for Ceplex ?
