Análise da eficiência na celebração de convênios e congêneres das unidades de ensino do campus sede da UFSM

Abstract

The application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a multivariate technique that analyzes the productivity (or efficiency) of Decision Making Units (DMUs) through best practices, suggesting a classification and indicating variables that should be improved. This dissertation presents the DEA on the educational centers of the central campus of the Federal University of Santa Maria. Nine variables were used, three as Inputs (i.e human resources: faculty, students and administrative people) and six Outputs meaning the different kinds of agreements signed by the centers from 2012 to 2016. The results allowed to classify centers according their efficiency, highlighting those that obtained larger periods of efficiency and those that presented unsatisfactory numbers.
