▼ An important objective of managers is to evaluate the performance of their organization in order to continuously improve and grow. One measure is to compute the performance efficiency of each unit within their organization. Data Envelopment Analysis is a specific technique that optimizes and computes the efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) relative to the other units within the organization, using deterministic data collected from past performance results. From these efficiency values, DMUs will be determined to be either efficient or inefficient. Specifically for a health care organization, managers evaluate the operating performance of the units within their organization based on the resources and expenditures used, and the revenue generated from the services that they provide. Allocation Models are especially useful for these types of evaluations, because they look only at units of dollars and the allocation of budgets and resources. While it is vital to evaluate past performance, as in the traditional DEA model, it is also important to understand and predict future performance. This thesis, therefore, proposes the use of Allocative Data Envelopment Analysis to consider the uncertainty of future results, with one specific application being the health care industry. There are three types of models considered: Cost Allocation Model, Revenue Allocation Model, and Profit Allocation Model. These models optimize and evaluate the performance of a DMU based on its cost efficiency, revenue efficiency, and profit efficiency, respectively. Methods are also proposed in order to make recommendations to the decision maker to allow for the inefficient units to become efficient. While this thesis focuses on data that follows a discrete distribution, a method is proposed that considers data that follows a continuous distribution. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the use of these models. Advisors/Committee Members: Advisor%22%29&pagesize-30">M Jeya Chandra, Thesis Advisor/Co-Advisor.

▼ Improving engineering education is a widely researched topic in academia. However, little research exists that analyzes solely the Industrial Engineering classroom. The goal of this research is to identify and implement the significant factors of student satisfaction and motivation within the undergraduate industrial engineering classroom. A random sample of 107 junior Industrial Engineering students at Penn State was asked to complete a student satisfaction and motivation. Student satisfaction was found to be influenced by three main factors: Instructor interaction and Feedback, Classroom Environment, and Modes of Instruction. The three overarching factors were further described by individual models with multiple factors. After creating ordinal logistic regression models, the statistically significant factors were identified by analyzing p-values against a chosen significance level. For the Instructor Interaction and Feedback model, the following factors should be implemented into the classroom: provide detailed feedback on assignments and exams, be an approachable instructor, stress the importance of course material, and relate course material to student interest to increase student motivation and satisfaction. Within the classroom environment model, the use of real-world applications should be used, as well as applying skills to future career paths, relating all course activities, and encourage active participation in the classroom. Lastly, for the modes of instruction model, interactive PowerPoint lectures, problem-solving sessions, and group-work all significantly influence satisfaction. An approach to implementing the eleven significant factors was deemed the “Interact, Cultivate, and Deliver” method, also known as I-C-D. If the I-C-D method is implemented into the Industrial Engineering classroom, overall student satisfaction is predicted to significantly increase, leading to increased student satisfaction and motivation levels. A pilot study within this work showed that student satisfaction and motivation levels were significantly better for a course where the I-C-D method was implemented when compared to the overall predicted satisfaction levels of students across three courses captured within the student survey.

▼ Maximizing airline profit is challenging as several costs, such as fuel or manpower, have been increasing. Fierce competition has forced airlines to drastically reconsider their economic policy. Traditionally, revenue management techniques such as overbooking or dynamic pricing have been utilized to improve profit of the airline industry. Recently, the use of financial options theory offers a different approach to airline revenue maximization. The purpose of this thesis is to apply financial option theory in order to maximize the expected revenue of the airline per flight. An option-based model to maximize the airline revenue under uncertainty and a numerical search method are presented. The demand distribution and the random walk of a ticket price cause uncertainty in the booking process. The proposed model assumes that the evaluation periods are discrete and uses the Cross-Ross-Rubinstein model (1979) to price the options. The complexity of the expected revenue expression does not allow for the utilization of calculus to maximize the airline’s profit. Therefore, a numerical search method is used to determine the optimal values for the decisions variables, which are the initial number of call and put options and the respective strike prices, for a given distribution of demand. A numerical example is presented and sensitivity analysis is performed to test the behavior of the model when changing input parameters (skewness of demand distribution and up and down moves of the ticket price). It is found that changing the skewness of the distribution has a significant effect on the expected revenue. Moreover, we show that the parameters of the random walk (the drift and its variance) directly affect the utilization of options, because these have a direct effect on the probability that the ticket price increases. Our analysis demonstrates the importance of accurate forecasting of demand and the precise estimation of the random walk parameters.

▼ Health care providers are like any other company in that their concerns include providing quality care to their patients while being conscience of operating costs. If patients feel they have not received the level of care deserved, they could seek out another health care provider. By minimizing the variance in waiting time, the potential of losing a patient can be minimized. This is based on Taguchi’s robust design methods. The operating costs are also of interest to the health care provider. The number of servers available to help patients directly relates to the waiting time variance and operating cost. A nonlinear integer programming model is developed to determine the number of servers for each patient class at every station. The methodology uses the common multi-criteria decision making method of scaling to solve the multiple objectives of minimizing both the operating cost and the expected loss. The user can also place importance on one objective over the other by specifying the weights applied to each objective in the model. A numerical example is given as a demonstration of the methodology. The model is solved for the optimal number of servers available at five stations throughout a facility. The five stations include check-in, meeting with a nurse, seeing a specialized physician, having tests performed, and finally meeting with another specialized physician to review any results and discuss a treatment plan. Stations do not necessarily require physical movement of the patient. There are also four patient classes considered based on the health condition. Every patient must move through the first two stations where they are classified, and then follow a unique flow for stations three through five based on their classification. By determining the optimal number of servers, both the operating costs and the variance in waiting times can be minimized simultaneously.

▼ Data Envelopment Analysis is a methodology which is used to determine relative efficiencies between decision making units (DMU). It can be used in various industries such as hospitals, banks and schools to name a few. The objective of this thesis is to provide a comparative analysis of different DEA models using an actual application to the health care industry. A detailed literature review of DEA models is provided which covers research on weight restriction methods, models incorporating multiple criteria with DEA, super efficiency in DEA and ranking methods in DEA. Four important models in DEA are discussed in detail. They include the CVDEA model, MCDM DEA model, AHP DEA model and the Super Efficiency model. DEA is a very useful tool but it has its disadvantages including the existence of extreme outliers in a set of efficient DMUs and weight restriction capabilities of certain models. The models chosen in this research focuses on methods to eliminate the drawbacks of earlier DEA models. Multi criteria decision making (MCDM) and the Analytical Hierarchy Processes (AHP) are two of the methods which when combined with DEA provide added functionality. The concept of Super Efficiency in DEA is also used in one of the chosen models. A case study has been conducted to determine the efficiency of health care providers. The four DEA models are evaluated for 44 health care providers with real data and meaningful results are obtained. The results for the efficiency classification provided by the models are similar but the four models have provided some additional information unique to their approaches. The AHP DEA model and the Super Efficiency model are judged to be better models on the basis of the practical insights they provided to the health care provider.
