متن کاملChoosing weights for a complete ranking of DMUs in DEA and cross-evaluation
Conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) assists decision makers in distinguishing between efficient and inefficient decision making units (DMUs) in a homogeneous group. However, DEA does not provide more information about the efficient DMUs. One of the interesting research subjects is to discriminate between efficient DMUs. The aim of this paper is ranking all efficient (extreme and non-ex...
متن کاملRanking of decision making units based on cross efficiency by undesirable outputs and uncertainity
Cross efficiency is one of the useful methods for ranking of decision making units (DMUs) in data envelopment analysis (DEA). Since the optimal solutions of inputs and outputs weights are not unique so the selection of them are not simple and the ranks of DMUs can be changed by the difference weights. Thus, in this paper, we introduce a method for ranking of DMUs which does not have a unique pr...
