About the APEDAM Program
Airport operators are measured on how well they convert runways, terminals, staff and capital into traffic and revenue. This program teaches teams to benchmark airport efficiency using data envelopment analysis, a method that compares units with multiple inputs and outputs. Participants build models, run comparisons and read results against peer airports. Delivered in-house at the client's premises or live virtual for teams, it gives analysts and managers a defensible way to report efficiency.

- Select suitable input and output variables
- Build basic data envelopment analysis models
- Interpret efficiency scores and peer comparisons
- Analyze scale effects across airport units
