Common weights determination in data envelopment analysis

چکیده
In models of data envelopment analysis (DEA), an optimal set of weights is generally assumed to represent the assessed decision making unit(DMU) in the best light in comparison to all the other DMUs, and so there is an optimal set of weights corresponding to each DMU. The present paper, proposes a three stage method to determine one common set of weights for decision making units. Then, we use these weights to rank efficient units. We demonstrate the approach by applying it to rank gas companies.

متن کاملA Proposed Combination Method for Ranking Options in Multi-Criteria Decision Making by Data Envelopment Analysis and Common Set of Weights
The purpose of this paper is to fully ranking decision-making units using a combination of multi-criteria decision-making techniques and data envelopment analysis. Due to this fact that weights play an important role in ranking the options by multi-criteria decision-making methods and most of these methods have weakness in using weighting methods, therefore the ability for data envelopment anal...
متن کاملFinding Common Weights in Two-Stage Network DEA
In data envelopment analysis (DEA), mul-tiplier and envelopment CCR models eval-uate the decision-making units (DMUs) under optimal conditions. Therefore, the best prices are allocated to the inputs and outputs. Thus, if a given DMU was not efficient under optimal conditions, it would not be considered efficient by any other models. In the current study, using common weights in DEA, a number of...
متن کاملA nonlinear model for common weights set identification in network Data Envelopment Analysis
In the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) the efficiency of the units can be obtained by identifying the degree of the importance of the criteria (inputs-outputs).In DEA basic models, challenges are zero and unequal weights of the criteria when decision- making units are evaluated. One of the strategies applied to deal with these problems is using common weights of the each input...
