“One bank used data envelopment analysis (DEA) to substantially improve its branch productivity and profits while maintaining service quality. It identified over $6million of annual expense savings not identifiable with traditional financial and operating ratio analysis in its 33-branch system.” Source: Sherman & Ladino, “Interfaces 25”, Journal of Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences.

The quest for greater efficiency is never ending as managers are always under pressure to improve the performance of their organisations. In the public sector, governments are constantly seeking better value for tax payers’ money, while the emergence of a more global economy has intensified competitive pressures on commercial companies. The onus is therefore on managers to achieve better results from the resources available to them. Frontier Analyst® uses a powerful technique called Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to assist you in doing this.
