Abstract: An efficiency measure, referred to as "Range-Adjusted Measure (RAM)," has been recently proposed as a new type of DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) performance evaluator. To deal with large RAM problems, this study documents how the algorithm of RAM is designed in a parallel process. The parallel process is implemented on a Local Area Network (LAN) that connects multiple personal computers. A large simulation study examines the performance of the proposed RAM network computing approach.
