The Productivity and Efficiency Analysis in a Liner Shipping Company: Application of Meta-Frontier Data Envelopment Analysis / 海運公司定期航線生產力與效率分析:共同邊界資料包絡分析法之應用

碩士 / 淡江大學 / 會計學系碩士在職專班 / 97 / Focus on case study company’s Europe, America, Asia, and Atlantic…etc 21 liner shipping route, its study estimates and analyzes domestic representative container shipping company by using microscopic data in season from 2003 to 2007.Summarizingthe empirical study, the conclusions are as follow:At first, under the study of variable return to scale, the individual group technical efficiency, meta-frontier technical efficiency and technology gap ratio…etc, the corresponding results of outbound are significant larger than that of inbound. Secondly, under the hypotheses of constant return to scale, the individual group technical efficiency, meta-frontier technical efficiency and technology gap ratio of outbound are also significant larger than that of inbound, which match the practical situation of export-oriented economy development in Taiwan. Due to unstable inbound loading and insufficient orders from all continents, there are operational difficulties that container shipping companies need to solve immediately. Hence, enhancing the efficiency of inbound route should be the main issue for case company to improve.
In addition, regard to the meta-frontier productivity change of outbound and inbound, the corresponding average values of outbound and inbound show not significant variance, also the two component elements, productivity change and technology gap ratio change, are not significant variance. Regard to the examined results of inbound and outbound productivity changes, the constant return to scale technical efficiency change and constant return to scale technical change of outbound are not significant variance than that of inbound. Take one step ahead to examine and recompose the constant return to scale technical efficiency change into variable return to scale technical efficiency change and scale change, the corresponding values of outbound and inbound mentioned above are not significant variance . In sum, compared with past papers which focus on overall container shipping industry, this study analyze cases of liner shipping company by using level of inner microscopic data, also extend the subjects to the empirical study of productivity change and efficiency catch-up. Therefore, it may offer more practical information to management levels as reference in decision-making.
