Abstract

This paper focuses on assessing sustainability of supply chains. This paper, at first, proposes network dynamic Range Adjusted Measure (RAM) model. Then, an inverse version of network dynamic RAM model is proposed. The proposed inverse network dynamic Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model changes both inputs and outputs of Decision-Making Units (DMUs) so that existing efficiency scores of DMUs remain unchanged. We change inputs and outputs without any modification in efficiency score of DMU under evaluation, while inputs and outputs may have a large range. A case study shows the efficacy of the proposed model.
