The New Method for Credit Customer Selecting by Integration of A2 and Data Envelopment Analysis (A2_DEA)

This paper develops a decision support tool using an A2 method and data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach (A2-DEA). This new method is applied for the bank credit customer selection problem and credit scoring as a pilot survey at Export Development Bank of Iran. The proposed method has led to fewer calculations, faster and more accurate decision making, less complexity, and ability to ana...

Efficient location by using data envelopment analysis

So far, many types of location models have been developed to find optimal spatial patterns according to different spatial metrics such as cost, coverage and availability.  The initial focus of these models is on the location availability of service providers and demand estimates, and some of these models are within the framework of multi-objective programming models.  After the advent of scienc...

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Using Data Envelopment Analysis

Benefit-cost analysis using data envelopment analysis

Benefit-cost analysis is required by law and regulation throughout the federal government. Robert Dorfman (1996) declares “Three prominent shortcomings of benefit-cost analysis as currently practiced are (1) it does not identify the population segments that the proposed measure benefits or harms (2) it attempts to reduce all comparisons to a single dimension, generally dollars and cents and (3)...

Selecting Energy Efficient Poultry Egg Producers: A Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis Approach

This study examined the energy use pattern of poultry for egg production farms of Iran and ranked the selected farmers using fuzzy data envelopment analysis (FDEA) from the viewpoint of energy efficiency. Since data used in our study were not measured precisely, fuzzy forms of them could help us to reach the ideal situations. Hence, the conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) was remod...
