Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) Tool for Benchmarking
DEA is a key benchmarking tool - Multidimensional analytical in nature - Deals with multiple-input, multiple-output productivity ratios • It supports the identification of Best Practice Units and can help identify those that either need improvement or could be used for benchmarking. • Could be deployed in Internal, Process, Competitive and Strategic Benchmarking. • Offers more insight than a traditional “gap analysis” generally used in benchmarking. • Basic intuition: • - Input/output model formulation that defines the efficiencies of various entities called DMU’s, the decision making units; • - The analytics discriminates the relative efficiencies of various DMU’s; • - Identifies Peers for the inefficient firms, whom they can emulate in order to improve their efficiencies.

Setting Performance Targets for the Inefficient Firms • Firm B can move up to the efficient frontier in at least three ways: • Reducing only the number of employees: • By moving to the point F • => Input Target for Employees = 0.2 x 0.93 = 0.186 • => Employees Surplus = Current input – Input target • = 1.7 – 0.186 = 1.514 • 2. Reducing only its capital employed: • By moving to point G • => Input Target for Capital = 0.2 x 4.78 = 0.956 • => Capital Surplus = Current input – Input target • =2.000 – 0.956 = 1.244 • 3. (a) Reducing both, the capital employed as well as the number of employees, in the same ratio; or • (b) Enhancing value added only; • By moving to point E
