The Output Shows the Solution to a DEA Model Where $0 \mathrm {~S} + 0 \mathrm {~F} + 0 \mathrm {~L} + 0 \mathrm { D } + 1 \mathrm { E }$

The output shows the solution to a DEA model where facilities in Seaview (S),Farmington (F),Lewiston (L),and San Domingo (D)are compared.The inputs,in order,are number of machines,size of work force,and goodness of location.The outputs,in order,are production,quality rating,and on-time completion percentage.The model examines the efficiency of Lewiston.
Min $0 \mathrm {~S} + 0 \mathrm {~F} + 0 \mathrm {~L} + 0 \mathrm { D } + 1 \mathrm { E }$
S.T. 1) $1 \mathrm {~S} + 1 \mathrm {~F} + 1 \mathrm {~L} + 1 \mathrm { D } = 1$
2) $5 \mathrm {~S} + 22 \mathrm {~F} + 36 \mathrm {~L} + 15 \mathrm { D } - 36 \mathrm { E } < 0$
3) $400 \mathrm {~S} + 1500 \mathrm {~F} + 3150 \mathrm {~L} + 1060 \mathrm { D } - 3150 \mathrm { E } < 0$
4) $24 \mathrm {~S} + 13 \mathrm {~F} + 32 \mathrm {~L} + 17 \mathrm { D } - 32 \mathrm { E } < 0$
5) $800 \mathrm {~S} + 2900 \mathrm {~F} + 1860 \mathrm {~L} + 1700 \mathrm { D } + 0 \mathrm { E } > 1860$
6) $95 \mathrm {~S} + 92 \mathrm {~F} + 83 \mathrm {~L} + 94 \mathrm { D } + 0 \mathrm { E } > 83$
7) $83 \mathrm {~S} + 85 \mathrm {~F} + 90 \mathrm {~L} + 91 \mathrm { D } + 0 \mathrm { E } > 90$
OPTIMAL SOLUTION
Objective Function Value = 0.510 $$\begin{array} { c c c } \text { Variable } & \text { Value } & \text { Reduced Cost } \\\text { S } & 0.000 & 0.385 \\\text { F } & 0.167 & 0.000 \\\text { L } & 0.000 & 0.490 \\\text { D } & 0.833 & 0.000 \\\text { E } & 0.510 & 0.000\end{array}$$ $$\begin{array} { c c c } \text { Constraint } & \text { Slack/Surplus } & \text { Dual Price } \\1 & 0.000 & 1.365 \\2 & 2.208 & 0.000 \\3 & 474.479 & 0.000 \\4 & 0.000 & 0.031 \\5 & 40.000 & 0.000 \\6 & 10.667 & 0.000 \\7 & 0.000 & - 0.021\end{array}$$
