Ranking of units on the DEA frontier with common weights
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) assists decision makers in distinguishing between efficient and inefficient decisionmaking units (DMUs) in a homogeneous group. However, DEA does not provide more information about the efficient DMUs. This research proposes a methodology to determine one common set of weights for the performance indices of only DEA efficient DMUs. Then, these DMUs are ranked according to the efficiency score weighted by the common set of weights. For the decision maker, this ranking is based on the optimization of the group’s efficiency. 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Ranking Efficient DMUs in Two-stage Network DEA with Common Weights method
Two stages DEA models are used in many fields of management and industry. One of the concepts that has attracted the attention of researchers in the theory of production is the concept of ranking the units with a two-stage network. A unit ranking can provide useful information to decision makers (DMUs) about optimal decision making activities. This concept defines the superiority of a unit in t...
متن کاملA sequence of targets toward a common best practice frontier in DEA
Original data envelopment analysis models treat decision-making units as independent entities. This feature of data envelopment analysis results in significant diversity in input and output weights, which is irrelevant and problematic from the managerial point of view. In this regard, several methodologies have been developed to measure the efficiency scores based on common weights. Specificall...
متن کاملRanking of units by anti-ideal DMU with common weights
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a powerful technique for performance evaluation of decision making units (DMUs). One of the main objectives that is followed in performance evaluation is discriminating among efficient DMUs to provide a complete ranking of DMUs. DEA successfully divides them into two categories: efficient DMUs and inefficient DMUs. The DMUs in the efficient category have ident...
متن کاملA Procedure for Full Ranking of DEA Units with Secondary Frontier
There is increasing interest in fully ranking the performance of organizational units with multiple inputs and outputs. We smooth the congenital differences of efficient and inefficient units. The concept of the secondary frontier is to eliminate the effects of super-efficiency and inefficiency. The pseudo secondary frontier is constructed to lie between the efficient and inefficient units. Lo...
متن کاملA comprehensive common weights data envelopment analysis model: Ideal and anti-ideal virtual decision making units approach
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) calculates the relative efficiency of homogenous decision-making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and outputs. Classic DEA models usually suffer from several issues such as: discrimination power, variable weights of inputs/outputs, inaccurate efficiency estimation for small number of DMUs, incapability in working with zero and negative data, and not having exter...
