Abstract:
The assessment of performance of activity units such as bank branches, retail outlets, sales forces in the profit-making sector and schools, local authorities and hospitals in the non-profit sector are given increased attention by the econometric and operational research communities in recent years. A relatively new methodology has been developed based on the use of linear programming for assessing performance of activity centres. This paper provides a state of the art review concerning the basic models and also recent trends of this methodology.
