Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article integrates fuzzy set theory in the data envelopment analysis (DEA) framework to compute technical efficiency scores when input and output data are imprecise. The underlying assumption in conventional DEA is that input and output data are measured with precision. However, production agriculture takes place in an uncertain environment, and, in some situations, input and output data may be imprecise. We present an approach of measuring efficiency when data are known to lie within specified intervals and empirically illustrate this approach using a group of 29 dairy producers in Pennsylvania. Compared to the conventional DEA scores that are point estimates, the computed fuzzy efficiency scores are interval bound allowing the decision maker to trace the performance of a decision-making unit at different possibility levels.

Download or read book Performance Measurement with Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis written by Ali Emrouznejad and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-29 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intensity of global competition and ever-increasing economic uncertainties has led organizations to search for more efficient and effective ways to manage their business operations. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been widely used as a conceptually simple yet powerful tool for evaluating organizational productivity and performance. Fuzzy DEA (FDEA) is a promising extension of the conventional DEA proposed for dealing with imprecise and ambiguous data in performance measurement problems. This book is the first volume in the literature to present the state-of-the-art developments and applications of FDEA. It is designed for students, educators, researchers, consultants and practicing managers in business, industry, and government with a basic understanding of the DEA and fuzzy logic concepts.

Book Synopsis Comparing Dairy Farm Efficiency Using DEA and SFA by : K. Kovács
Download or read book Comparing Dairy Farm Efficiency Using DEA and SFA written by K. Kovács and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The abolishment of the dairy quota system in the EU is expected to increase competition across dairy farms in Europe. Assuming a common price for milk in the EU, only the most efficient farms will survive in the new environment. The main objective of the research is to compare dairy farms in Germany, The Netherlands and Hungary about their technical efficiency. In the first part of the research, the efficiency is measured by partial efficiency indexes using one dimensional efficiency measuring. In the second part, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) have to be used to measure efficiency in a multidimensional space, using six inputs and two outputs. Both methods used for measuring the same technical efficiency score, but under different assumptions, thus the second objective was to compare not only countries but, methods results as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We compare productivity and technical efficiency of organic and conventional dairy farms in the United States. We address self-selection into organic farming by using propensity score matching and explicitly test the hypothesis that organic and conventional farms employ a single, homogeneous technology. Utilizing the 2005 Agricultural Resource Management Survey on Dairy Costs and Returns Report (ARMS) data, we reject the homogeneous technology hypothesis and find that the organic dairy technology is approximately 13% less productive. However, we find little difference in technical efficiency between organic and conventional farms when technical efficiency is measured against the appropriate technology.
Book Synopsis Technical Efficiency of Dairy Farms with and Without Sensors by : T.I. Kartopawiro

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the recent years the most common development that can be noticed is the development and increase of the use of sensors in dairy farming. With the use of sensors parameters and indicators of an individual dairy cow can be measured and help the farmer detect estrus, lameness, clinical mastitis, etc. Several sensors, such as the sensors to detect mastitis, are integrated on an automatic milking system (AMS). The use of sensors on a farm requires a different management, to improve cow management, and has a corresponding change in inputs and outputs. The main inputs which the use of sensors can possibly affect are labor costs, animal health costs and available capital. Since the use and development of sensors is increasing, an urge has grown for a clear analysis of the economic value of a sensor system. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate and compare the Technical Efficiency of dairy farms with and without sensors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US dairy sector is facing structural changes including a geographical shift in dairy production and a tendency toward the implementation of more intensive production systems. These changes might significantly affect farm efficiency, profitability, and the long-term economic sustainability of the dairy sector, especially in more traditional dairy production areas. Consequently, the goal of this study was to examine the effect of practices commonly used by dairy farmers and the effect of intensification on the performance of the farms. We used a sample of 273 Wisconsin dairy farms to estimate a stochastic production frontier simultaneously with a technical inefficiency model. The empirical analysis showed that at a commercial level the administration of bovine somatotropin hormone to lactating cows increased milk production. In addition, we found that production exhibits constant returns to scale and that farm efficiency is positively related to farm intensification, the level of contribution of family labor in the farm activities, the use of a total mixed ration feeding system, and milking frequency.
