Abstract
This paper investigates the relative efficiency of customer service centres for a telecommunication company in
Malaysia using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Thirteen customer service centres located across Klang Valley area
are selected asDecision Making Units (DMUs) with four input factors such as cost of manpower, materials, premise
rental and goods sold and three output factors such as revenue from service commission, retails sales and amount of bill
collection. A recent robust DEA model, Kourosh and Arash Model (KAM) is applied to discriminate between DMUs
appropriately. There are 9 technically efficient DMUs which 3 of them are efficient with 10-8-Degree of Freedom (DF)
and others were inefficient with 10-8-DF. Simulations are performed with Microsoft Excel Solver 2013
