DEA SOFTWARE TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGY
Today’s DEA practitioners and researchers have a wide range of solution
technology choices. Clearly, software is no longer an impediment to the
incorporation of DEA into decision-support systems and benchmarking
processes. This is evidenced by the availability of interoperable tools with a
variety of user interfaces, advanced modeling options, and the power to
evaluate large-scale data sets on inexpensive computing platforms. This survey
describes and critiques prominent DEA software packages, both commercial
and non-commercial, and summarizes the current state of the art.
