碩士 === 國防管理學院 === 資源管理研究所 === 88 === This study reports on an application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to compare products which vary in excellence along a number of dimensions, and for each of which there might be a number of associated ‘cost’. The DEA method is illustrated by comparing 21 CNC (Computer Numerical Control ) lathes for small-size shell production. Potential uses of a DEA analysis of products might be: to assist military buyers who may need to reconcile a diversity of present and future uses in one standardized purchase; in competitors analysis; in determining unexplored market niches; and as a normative model of product excellence against which product purchasing behavior could be compared.
