Assessing the Relative Efficiency and Productivity Growth of the Taiwan LED Industry : DEA and Malmquist Indices Application

الملخص EN

With the rapid acceleration of global competition the need has arisen for a more systematic performance evaluation system.

This research develops a two-stage performance evaluation system to help maximize performance evaluation success.

The performance evaluation is an important approach for enterprises to give incentives and restraint to their operators.

It is also an important channel for enterprise stakeholders to obtain performance information.

This study analyzes the current evaluation system for the Taiwan LED industry.

This research measures the performance of ten LED companies in Taiwan for the period 2003–2009.

The proposed method is practical and useful.

The evaluation model indicates that proposed method is more reasonable and easier to grasp than other methods.

As a result, it is easier to popularize this evaluation method in enterprises.

The proposed method presents a complete assessment model that helps managers identify items for improvement, while simultaneously promoting cost and time efficiencies in the LED industry.
