Assessment of Ammunition Companies Using IDEA model

IDEA를 이용한 탄약중대의 효율성 평가

In order to enhance sustainable war fighting capabilities, it is important to maintain a good ammunition support system. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of Ammunition companies using Imprecise Data Envelopment Analysis (IDEA)-BCC and IDEA-Additive model, which can deal with imprecise data in DEA. In order to select a list of input and output variables, we used a multiple regression analysis. We could choose input variables that have significant effects on the output performance with stepwise regression model. From the regression analysis, the number of soldiers, officers, and ammunition warehouses were selected as the input variables. Seven out of sixteen Ammunition companies were found to be inefficient by the IDEA-BCC model. And using IDEA-Additive model, we could identify the input excess and the output shortfall in reaching at a point on the efficiency frontier.
