ab: Summary: Traditional DEA models deal with measurements of relative
    efficiency of DMUs regarding multiple-inputs vs. multiple-outputs. One
    of the drawbacks of these models is the neglect of intermediate
    products or linking activities. After pointing out needs for inclusion
    of them to DEA models, we propose a slacks-based network DEA model,
    called Network SBM, that can deal with intermediate products formally.
    Using this model we can evaluate divisional efficiencies along with the
    overall efficiency of decision making units (DMUs).
