Abstract

In this research, to evaluate the efficiency of electric energy production plants, the three-stage network data overlay analysis method was used. In the evaluation of the efficiency done in the first stage, the operational and maintenance components of the power plants were evaluated, and in the second stage, the reliability and in the third stage, the efficiency of the power plants were evaluated and analyzed, which showed that the number of 16 power plants was based on the considered indicators. It has been taken into operation and other power plants have had great differences up to the limit of efficiency. In the evaluation of the first stage, it has been shown that 16 power plants are efficient based on the indicators of the first stage and other power plants are at the border of proper efficiency and based on the analysis of the efficiency of the second stage, it has been determined that 25 power plants have become efficient and others The companies have been separated from the efficiency center due to the weakness in the output and the increase in the input of their processes, and also in the evaluation of the third stage, it was shown that 23 power plants are efficient and other power plants are not at the efficiency limit and there is a need to improve the situation in these power plants as Continuous improvement of kaizen should be on the agenda.
