Abstract
In this paper, we utilize the internal structure of the bus transportation system's to assess its production inefficiencies. Specifically, we exploit information about linkages of resources across departments and identify inefficient sub-activities within the production system. Our proposed framework employs a two-stage network DEA framework to assess the overall production efficiency of the bus transportation system. Since departments of the bus transportation system share limited resources, game-theoretical approach has been employed for decomposing production efficiency to estimate optimal efficiency estimates for each division. To demonstrate the practical application of our approach, we implement it in the context of the Indian bus transportation system. Finally, we conclude by discussing the policy implications of our research and offering recommendations for managers to enhance overall production performance.
