Description
Benchmarking and performance evaluation are used to improve an organization's products and processes. This course focuses on linear programming models used in benchmarking and performance evaluation. The technique is called data envelopment analysis (DEA). DEA has been proven to yield exceptional insights and substantial results in practice. Our emphasis is on basic concepts, mathematical formulas, and their applications. This is a spreadsheet-based modeling course. The mathematical models will be established and solved by using Excel and Excel Solver. Some Visual Basic for application (VBA) coding is required.
