Introduction
Since early 1990, the Georgia Tech faculties have been exploring new methods
for performance assessment of industrial systems with particular emphasis on
warehousing operations. The methodology being developed is related to data envelopment analysis (DEA).
About DEA
The basic DEA model observes system inputs (applied or consumed resources)
and system outputs (produced goods or services) for each producer in a population
or sample of producers. For a given firm, the model identifies the best
theoretical performance based on actual members of the sample, and provides a
score relative to that theoretical best. For firms who are not "best in
class," the method identifies opportunities for performance improvement.
For more information, check "Methodology
Introduction".
About BISG-iDEAs
BISG-iDEAs makes the DEA methodology accessible via the internet, and enables
firms to perform a self-assessment and benchmark themselves against other
firms in their industry. Recalling "Garbage In, Garbage Out," the
self-assessment is only as good as the data supplied. Click here to learn more about the
original iDEAs.
Using BISG-iDEAs
Only registered companies may use BISG-iDEAs. BISG-iDEAs is a project
sponsored by the Book Industry Study Group.
