Measuring group performance based on metafrontier

Guoya Gan et al.

Summary: The study introduced a metafrontier-based group performance evaluation model that resolves the infeasibility issue in the constant returns to scale model under centralised management, and extends it to variable returns to scale. The research also proposed models for both centralised and decentralised scenarios, and demonstrated the application of the models through maritime and solar industry case studies.

Verifying the effects of digitalisation in retail logistics: an efficiency-centred approach

Dominic Loske et al.

Summary: This study focuses on efficiency by using Data Envelopment Analysis and Malmquist productivity index to assess the impact of digitalization on transportation efficiency in the logistics industry. The results indicate that changes in digitalization levels initially lead to a decrease in efficiency levels, which can later be compensated and even surpassed, demonstrating the positive long-term effects of digitalization steps on transport logistics efficiency.

Metafrontier efficiency analysis for hospital pharmacy services using dynamic network DEA framework

Kok Fong See et al.

Summary: The study found that specialist and nonspecialist hospital pharmacies had similar overall efficiency, but differed in efficiency levels of storage and patient services. Nonspecialist hospitals performed more efficiently in pharmacy storage, while both categories had similar results in patient service efficiency. Patient service efficiency was consistently lower over time, suggesting a need to prioritize improvements in patient service efficiency to enhance overall efficiency levels.

Is There Progress towards Environmental Sustainability among Road Haulage Companies?

Markus Pollanen et al.

Summary: The study found that environmental practices of road freight hauliers did not significantly improve over the past decade despite shared belief in the need to reduce emissions. Hauliers rarely perceived interest from shippers towards energy efficiency, calling for more support and encouragement for environmentally aware practices.

Third-party logistics efficiency: an innovative two-stage DEA analysis of the French market

Laurent Cavaignac et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the productive performance and efficiency determinants of 132 firms in 2016, revealing low and heterogeneous efficiency levels with most 3PLs exhibiting increasing returns-to-scale. Specialization is preferred over diversification in the industry, and only certain certifications improve efficiency levels.
