Application of Improved Data Envelopment Analysis in Construction Supply Chain Management

Article Preview

Abstract:

The internal pressure and external stimulation contribute to focus on supply chain management in construction field. The construction engineering calls for research and practice of construction supply chain management. The paper comprehensively discusses on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. Combining with characteristics of construction supply chain, an improved DEA was brought out. The method divides overall into a series of core sub-systems. A supply chain relative performance evaluation model was provided based on network DEA. Integrated advantages of traditional DEA and network DEA, the overall performance and sub-process performance were evaluated respectively to achieve overall grasp and local control on construction supply chain evaluation.
