Popis: Food Grain Procurement organization takes the responsibility of storing food grains in the country for Public Distribution System and other welfare programmes. Operating warehouses is a challenging task due to the various reasons such as seasonality in the procurement of grains, deviation from the movement plan, delays in the lifting operation of food grains from warehouses and in-flexible nature of work-force. Through this study, a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model is developed to calculate the relative efficiency of warehouses owned by an Indian Food grain procurement organisation. The model is used to establish ranking among warehouses.
