On the Consistency of Slacks-based Measure-max Model and Super-slacks-based Measure Model

ABSTRACT
Slacks-based measure (SBM) (Tone [1]), Pastor et al. [2]) has been widely utilized as a representative non-radial DEA model. However, this model, called SBM-Min here, evaluates the efficiency of an inefficient DMU referring to the furthest frontier point within a range. In contrast, the SBM-Max model looks for the nearest frontier point and hence its score is generally greater than the SBM-Min score. The Super-SBM model (Tone [3]) evaluates the efficiency of an efficient DMU referring to the nearest point on the frontier except itself. We can foresee a close connection between SBM-Max and Super-SBM models, because the motivations behind the two models are same. In this paper we demonstrate this consistency using a real dataset.
