Whereas Subtractive Manufacturing (SM) is a process by which 3D objects are constructed by cutting material away from a solid block of material, such as milling and lathe machine; Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a synonym for 3D printing and other processes by which 3D objects are constructed by successively depositing material in layers. Recently, AM has become widespread for both industrial and personal use thanks to the freedom and benefits it provides in designing parts, reducing lead time, improving inventory, and supply chain. However, few studies examine process planning issues in AM. In addition, existing studies focus on production of an individual part alone. In this study, we examine the assembly orientation alternatives’ efficiency using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique for different AM technologies and their associated materials under conflicting criteria. A case study of hardware fasteners using bolt and nut fabrication is illustrated in the study. Our results show that different AM technologies and materials clearly impact efficiency of part production and thus suggest optimal orientation in AM process planning platform.

The aim of the study was assessment of efficiency and productivity of farms in the Lublin province in the years 2014-2016. The analysis was based on the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model oriented on inputs and Malmquist indices with its components. The calculations were made for medium-sized field and dairy farms that continuously collected data for the FADN system during the period under consideration. In our research all efficiency indicators for dairy farms were larger than for field crop farms. In the years 2014-2016, the average technical efficiency of dairy farms was 0.752, which means that in those farms it is possible to reduce inputs on average by 25% and the value of production will remain at the same level. In the case of field crop farms, inputs should be limited by 33%. The applied decomposition of calculated Malmquist indices allowed to define what factors influenced changes in productivity.
