The proposed DEA approach has several advantages over existing methods in production economics.
The failure of Krylov methods in production codes is currently being addressed by reducing the size of the time step.
Multidisciplinary research is a way to challenge academic/disciplinary homogeneity and their boundaries, to take advantage of the diversity of approaches and methods in production of new integrated knowledge.
An industrial case is proposed to show the benefits of this method in real production settings.

The most favored method in ethanol production is through the use of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation process in bioreactors (Pscheidt and Glieder 2008; de Jong et al. 2012; Cha et al. 2014; Djordjevic et al. 2014).
Enzymatic saccharification using cellulase has proven to be a useful method in the production of bioethanol.
In any case, this trend illustrates an advantage of the lipase method in the production of biodiesel, because in the alkaline method, incorporation of the free fatty acid leading to soap formation should be avoided.
Meanwhile, the comparisons have shown that the proposed approach performs better than the other two methods in both production forecast and EUR estimation, in both short and long production histories.
