efficient units but conversely in the input oriented state units with score of more than 100%
are considered as inefficient units. Efficient units of the model (reference) for each of
inefficient units are shown in Benchmark column in each of the executed states of the
model. Inserted numbers for efficient units in this column show their number of presence as
model unit that will be used in next steps for ranking of efficient units. Tables (6) and (7)
are represented as an instance here that are related to execution of model in input oriented
state and by assuming that return is constant:
Given to table (6) it is observed that average amount of efficiency is equal to 89.67%. In
other words, totally the studying universities apply about 10.33% inputs more than the
desired amount. If universities act efficiently (are on the boundary function), they can offer
the same level of outputs by decreasing of their inputs about 10.33%.
As it is observed six universities from twenty (20) existent universities (equal to 30%
of the studying universities) are at efficiency boundary and are declared as completely
efficient universities. Hence universities F1, F4, F11, F16, F19 and F20 are the most
efficient universities according to input oriented state and under constant return
towards scale, while F14 has the lowest efficiency (72.79%). It means that the above
university could use its inputs lower and continues to produce the same amount of
outputs if it becomes efficient (27.21%).
