Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric approach to evaluating the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) that use multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs. An assumption underlying DEA is that all the data assume the form of specific numerical values. In some...

In this paper we address the discrete resource allocation problem in a deterministic flow line. We assume that the processing times are convex and nonincreasing in the amount of resources allocated to the machines. We consider the resource allocation problem for a fixed sequence of jobs for...
