Relative Efficiency Assessment of Projects Using Data Envelopment Analysis: A Case Study

Current efficiency models have not been used to measure the efficiency of projects conducted within an organization. This paper presents an evaluation of project efficiencies of 39 companies using data Envelopment Analysis. In-Fusion Solutions Sdn. Bhd. was chosen as the case study and data were col...
