Resumen:
The aim of this study is a comprehensive assessment of the
management of the different production units of the Ordinary Justice
Administration in Argentina based on different attributes and criteria
underpinning production.
This assessment will further allow us to use a ranking method to
appraise of the performance of the units analyzed.
This study aims to take a first step towards obtaining a
comprehensive picture of the system to serve as guidance to look into
other specific aspects in subsequent studies. For this reason, the
analysis is carried out in a general way, without either specifying the
different matters dealt with the ordinary justice system: criminal, civil,
administrative, labor or commercial, nor making a distinction of organs or
bodies.For this evaluation, we propose to use the discrete multicriteria
decision method (DMD): Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and
specifically within this methodology, the ratings or scoring model.
This approach arises from considering the Data Envelopment
Analysis (DEA) as a particular case of DMD techniques (Mackeprang
Pérez, 2003). This perspective equates: a) the minimum criteria to inputs,
b) the maximum criteria to outputs c) and the alternatives to the decision
making units (DMU).
The international literature accessed makes abundant reference to
the analysis and evaluation of efficiency in Justice Courts by means of
quantitative techniques, mainly in places like the USA, Canada and
European countries.
This is not as common in Latin American countries. The works
consulted show that the technique generally used in similar cases is Data
36
Envelopment Analysis, although we found some analysis which used
parametric models (Pedraja, F. et al. 1995).
It is also important that, regardless of the techniques used
(mathematical programming, parametric methods or multi-criteria
decision analysis), the inputs and outputs defined do not differ greatly.
On the other hand, it is important to note that most of the studies
carried out the analysis starting from the particular instances, ie focusing
the analysis on a specific area (criminal, labor, civil, etc.) or on a
particular jurisdiction or on a given instance.
It is stated on the other hand, the basic text of this chapter has been
presented in full paper character in the Fourth International Workshop on
Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Management and Decision Support -
Eureka-2013-, held in Mazatlan, Mexico. At that time he underwent
refereed and accepted by the scientific committee of the event.
