Centralized Cost Efficiency DEA Models

Abstract

Cost efficiency measures the cost of resource by output production. While conventional cost efficiency models set targets separately for each DMU, There are cases where the Central decision making is seeking the above targets, and at the same tries to obtain the target of Min cost efficiency for the total consumption. in this paper we consider that there is a centralized decision maker (DM). In such case, the DM has an interest in minimizing the cost efficiency of individual units at the same time it wants that total input consumption is reduced or output production is increase. We proposed new centralized resource cost efficiency model measurement on the base of Farrell cost efficiency model and Centralized resource allocation of Lozano and Villa model that will reduce resource allocation total cost efficiency, however it is possible for some inputs to increase. The preferences and advantages of this model are present some examples.
