| Abstract | Hundreds of thousands of people in Europe are daily receiving food, thanks to local food banks, run basically by volunteers who collect donations and distribute them to organizations. In this paper, data from a sample of food banks working in 13 European countries are analysed using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), trying to learn about their profiles and find some clues about the efficiency of their operations, comparing them according to variables such as the number of volunteers and permanent staff, the tonnage of food delivered and the number of people served. Significant inefficiencies were found in the sector as a result of high performance of some food banks, thus setting a high level standard of operational efficiency. Some additional results regarding food bank sizes and performance are presented.En Europe, des centaines de milliers de personnes reçoivent chaque jour de la nourriture grâce à des banques alimentaires locales, qui sont pratiquement exploitées par des bénévoles qui recueillent les dons et les distribuent aux organismes. Dans le présent article, les données d’un échantillon de banques alimentaires œuvrant dans 13 pays européens sont analysées à l’aide de la méthode d’enveloppement des données pour en savoir plus sur leur profil et le rendement de leurs activités. Elles sont comparées selon des variables comme le nombre de bénévoles et d’employés permanents, la quantité, en tonnes, d’aliments livrés et le nombre de personnes servies. D’importantes inefficacités ont été décelées dans le secteur en raison du rendement élevé de certaines banques alimentaires, fixant ainsi une norme de rendement opérationnel de haut niveau. Des résultats additionnels sur la taille des banques alimentaires et leur rendement sont aussi présentés.Hundert Tausende von Menschen in Europa erhalten täglich Lebensmittel dank der Lebensmittelbanken vor Ort, die hauptsächlich von Ehrenamtlichen betrieben werden, die Spenden sammeln und sie an Organisationen weiterleiten. In diesem Beitrag werden die Daten aus einer Stichprobe von Lebensmittelbanken in 13 europäischen Ländern mithilfe der Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) analysiert, um über ihre Profile zu erfahren und Anhaltspunkte zur Effizienz ihrer Tätigkeiten zu finden und sie anhand von Variablen miteinander zu vergleichen, wie zum Beispiel die Anzahl der ehrenamtlichen und festen Mitarbeiter, die Tonnenzahl der bereitgestellten Lebensmittel und die Zahl der Empfänger der Lebensmittelhilfe. Man stellte erhebliche Ineffizienzen in dem Sektor fest, die auf die hohe Leistungsfähigkeit einiger Lebensmittelbanken zurückgeht, welche einen hohen Standard der betrieblichen Effizienz vorgeben. Einige weitere Ergebnisse zur Größe und Leistungsfähigkeit von Lebensmittelbanken werden ebenso präsentiert.Cientos de miles de personas en Europa reciben diariamente alimentos gracias a los bancos locales de alimentos, gestionados básicamente por voluntarios que recogen donaciones, y las distribuyen a organizaciones. En el presente documento, se analizan los datos de una muestra de bancos de alimentos que funcionan en 13 países europeos utilizando datos del Análisis Envolvente de Datos (DEA, por sus siglas en inglés), tratando de aprender a partir de sus perfiles y de encontrar algunas pistas sobre la eficiencia de sus operaciones, comparándolas según variables, tales como el número de voluntarios y personal permanente, el tonelaje de alimentos entregados y el número de personas atendidas. Se encontraron ineficiencias significativas en el sector como resultado del alto rendimiento de algunos bancos de alimentos, que establecieron de este modo un estándar de alto nivel de eficiencia operativa. Se presentaron algunos resultados adicionales relativos a los tamaños y al rendimiento de los bancos.在欧洲,每天有成千上万的人从靠志愿者接受捐赠并向各机构分配加以运营的食品银行领取食物。本文采用数据包络分析法对来自13个欧洲国家的食品银行的数据进行了分析,探索了解这些食品银行的基本情况及其运营效率,并按照各种变量(例如,志愿者和全职员工人数、食品供应量及受众人数)进行对比。因为某些食品银行突出的业绩,造成整个领域效率低下,而运营效率标准较高。另外,本文还列明了有关食品银行规模和业绩的其他分析结果。.寄付を集めるボランティアが運営する地域のフード・バンクのおかげで、何千人、何百人ものヨーロッパの人々は毎日食品を受領する。本論文では、データ包絡分析法 (DEA)を用いて、欧州13ケ国で働くフード・バンクのサンプルのデータを分析して、プロフィールについて学習する。業務の効率化についての手がかりを見つけて、ボランティアと永続的なスタッフ数、出前のトン数や配布人数などの変数に基づいて比較する。結果としてフード・バンクの高性能においてセクターの非効率性が明らかになったため、高水準の運用効率が設定されている。フード・バンクの規模と性能に関する追加の結果を提示する。.مئات الآلاف من الأشخاص في أوروبا يوميا” يتلقوا طعام بفضل البنوك الغذائية المحلية، يتم تشغيلها أساسا” بالمتطوعين الذين يجمعون التبرعات، و يقومون بتوزيعها على المنظمات. في هذا البحث، البيانات من عينة من بنوك الطعام التي تعمل في 13 دولة أوروبية وتحليلها بإستخدام تحليل البيانات (DEA)، في محاولة للتعرف على ملفاتهم الشخصية والعثور على بعض أدلة حول كفاءة عملياتهم، مقارنتهم وفقا” لمتغيرات مثل عدد المتطوعين والموظفين الدائمين، حمولة المواد الغذائية التي تم إرسالها وعدد الأشخاص الذين يقدمون خدمات. تم العثور على عدم كفاءة ذو أهمية في القطاع نتيجة الأداء العالي لبعض بنوك الطعام وبالتالي وضع معيار مستوى عال من الكفاءة التشغيلية. يتم عرض بعض النتائج الإضافية بخصوص أحجام بنك الطعام والأداء. . |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
