Abstract: Abstract When the health care manager is able to both reduce inputs and augment outputs simultaneously, a non-oriented model is of great use. The non-oriented model is formulated based on input and output slacks and, in the DEA literature, is called an additive model or a slack-based model. The illustrated slack-based model (SBM) assumes equal weights (e.g., 1) for all non-zero input and output slacks. However, there are weighted SBM models when a priori information on the relative importance of the slacks is available (in terms of reducing inputs or augmenting outputs). The weighted SBM models will not be pursued as DEA Solver-LV does not include this specific model.
