Efficiency Evaluation for Supply Chains Using Maximin Decision Support

The outputs of upstream individual processes (members) become the inputs of downstream members in supply chains. When multiple inputs and outputs are present, data envelopment analysis has been widely applied to assess efficiency. In cooperative groups, such as supply chains, a maximin decision approach can reflect not only overall system efficiency, but also efficiency of system elements. This paper discusses a maximin efficiency multistage supply chain model capable of measuring supply chain members performance as well as overall supply chain performance.
