Medición de la efciencia de las facultades de la Universidad Santo Tomás seccional Tunja a través de modelos de eficiencia

Abstract

Those of efficiency are techniques used to measure the use of resources and their products or results, called data management units (DMU), which transform inputs into outputs to measure the efficiency of each unit of study. Efficiency models make it possible to compare the different units in terms of results, taking into account their resources. In the present work, INPUTS or input variables are taken for each faculty and the outputs are reviewed, which in this case are the products of the 10 faculties of the Universidad Santo Tomás sectional Tunja, through the application of efficiency frontier models. To meet this objective, information was collected for a specific period through the measurement of different variables framed in the missionary axes of Higher Education in Colombia, namely: Training, Research and Extension or social projection. Two different approaches to efficiency frontier models were applied: a parametric approach in which a known functional relationship between the input variables (inputs) and the output variables is assumed to exist by fitting a stochastic frontier model (SFA ) ) and a non-parametric approach in which the data envelope model (DEA) is applied. Which faculties achieved their greatest efficiency with fewer inputs will be identified, as well as variables that can be improved to achieve greater efficiency in the faculties with lower results. With this work it is expected to provide a management tool that allows generating plans for improvement and optimization of its resources.
