Dantzig-Wolfe Decomposition Algorithm are regarded as responsible for converting inputs into A variant of the simplex method designed to solve block-angular linear programs in which the blocks define subproblems. The problem is transformed into one that finds a solution in terms of convex combinations of the extreme points of the subproblems.

outputs. Examples of its uses have included hospitals and U.S. Air Force Wings, or their subdivisions, such as surgical units and squadrons. The definition of a DMU is generic and flexible. The objective is to identify sources and to estimate amounts of inefficiency in each input and output for every DMU included in a study. Uses that have been accommodated include: (i) discrete periods of production in a plant producing semiconductors in order to identify when inefficiency occurred; and (ii) marketing regions to which advertising and other sales activities have been directed in order to identify where inefficiency occurred. Inputs as well as outputs may be multiple and each may be measured in different units. A variety of models have been developed for implementing the concepts of DEA, for example, the following dual pair of linear programming models:

Efficiency The orientation of linear programming has changed here from ex-ante uses, for planning, and apply it to choices already made ex-post, for purposes of evaluation and control. To evaluate the performance of any DMU, (1) is applied to the input–output data for all DMUs in order to evaluate the performance of each DMU in accordance with the following definition: Efficiency — Extended Pareto-Koopmans Definition : Full (100%) efficiency is attained by any DMU if and
