“…This indeed leads us to consider efficiency in addition to classical effectiveness when deciding manufacturing operations. In a general sense, seeking for the best use of means refers to efficiency while seeking for the best results, effectiveness (Roghanian, Rasli, and Gheysari 2012). Thus, efficiency is often defined as 'doing things right', while effectiveness is defined as 'doing the right things'.…”

This editorial introduces the special issue on energy-aware manufacturing operations in the International Journal of Production Research. The 12 papers in this special issue were selected because of their high quality and also because they deal with topics related to energy-aware manufacturing operations. Three broad challenges are collectively addressed by the papers in this special issue: energy-efficiency vs. manufacturing-system effectiveness in optimisation; the volatility in energy availability, supply and cost; modelling energy consumption in varying scales and across different sub-systems. Previous global discussions about the state of the art in energy-aware manufacturing operations are provided, as well as exploratory guidelines for future research in this area.

“…Nowadays, well-functioning financial markets and banking institutions are usually considered to be a condition favourable to economic growth (Diallo 2018;Belke et al 2016;Cevik et al 2016;Zhang et al 2016;Destefanis et al 2014;Roghanian et al 2012;Ferreira 2012;Balkevicius 2012;Waheed and Younus 2010). Banks, being among the most important participants in the financial system, play an important role in it.…”

“…In this definition, a measure of efficiency appraises the organization's ability to achieve the output considering the minimum input level. Efficiency and scale economies are known as two critical elements governing productivity in the banking sector (Cevik et al 2016;Roghanian et al 2012;Fung and Cheng 2010).…”

“…The literature on the banking sector efficiency in the emerging European countries is increasingly growing (Diallo 2018;Cevik et al 2016;Belke et al 2016;Ferreira 2012;Roghanian et al 2012;Fung and Cheng 2010;Kutsomanoli-Filippaki et al 2009). The efficiency of the banking industry influences the cost of financial intermediation and the overall stability of the financial system, as banks constitute the backbone of financial markets in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) economies.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this study is to examine the efficiency of the banks in Lithuania by employing the DEA method and evaluate bank performance in a low interest rate environment. The efficiency scores were calculated with a non-parametric frontier input-oriented DEA technique with the variable returns to scale (VRS) and the constant returns to scale (CRS) assumptions. Five alternative models with different input-output combinations were developed, based on production, profitability and intermediation dimensions. The main bank profitability measure-the return on assets (ROA) ratio-was employed to validate the results obtained using the DEA method. The Lithuanian bank's efficiency analysis based on the VRS assumption shows that better results are demonstrated by the local banks. The technical efficiency analysis based on the CRS assumption shows other results: the banks owned by the Nordic parent group and the branches have higher pure efficiency than local banks and have success at working at the right scale. Based on this, it stated that during the 2012-2016 period the larger Lithuanian banks (subsidiaries) applied a more appropriate business model than smaller (local) banks operating in Lithuania. Additionally, this research contributes to the scholarly literature in the field of determinants of bank business performance in concentrated markets dominated by foreign banks and, in particular, from one region.

“…This can be done in a number of ways, such as increasing resources at the bottleneck activity, standardising, incorporating lean principles, etc. The efficiency of a process can be greatly improved if bottlenecks can be alleviated by shifting work without increasing costs, although it may be more difficult to do where specialised job functions are applicable (Roghanian, Rasli & Gheysari 2012). High operational efficiency is dependent on quick, accurate and continuous exchange of information between organisations as well as within organisations (Groznik 2012).…”
