abstract

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a method to measure relative efficiency of a set of decision-making units (dmus) which uses multiple inputs and produces multiple outputs. in the conventional dea, crisp inputs and outputs are fundamentally necessary. but the observed values of inputs and outputs in real-world problems are sometimes imprecise. thus, performance measurement often needs to be done under uncertainty conditions. this paper uses the dea with double frontiers approach for selecting the best dmu in a fuzzy environment. in this approach, in addition to the optimistic fuzzy efficiency of each dmu, pessimistic fuzzy efficiency is considered. in contrast to the models of existing fuzzy dea approaches, the proposed approach can accurately and easily identify the best dmu. the approach will be used to evaluate the performance of eight production units to demonstrate its simplicity and usefulness in selecting the best dmu.

A Geometrical Approach for Fuzzy Dea Frontiers

Interval DEA frontiers are here used in situations where one input or output is subject to uncertainty in its measurement and is presented as an interval data. We built an efficient frontier without any assumption about the probability distribution function of the imprecise variable. We take into account only the minimum and the maximum values of each imprecise variable. Two frontiers are const...

Evaluating the efficiency and classifying the fuzzy data: A DEA based ‎approach

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been proven as an efficient technique to evaluate the performance of homogeneous decision making units (DMUs) where multiple inputs and outputs exist. In the conventional applications of DEA, the data are considered as specific numerical values with explicit designation of being an input or output. However, the observed values of the data are sometimes imprec...

Ranking of bank branches with undesirable and fuzzy data: A DEA-based approach

Banks are one of the most important financial sectors in order to the economic development of each country. Certainly, efficiency scores and ranks of banks are significant and effective aspects towards future planning. Sometimes the performance of banks must be measured in the presence of undesirable and vague factors. For these reasons in the current paper a procedure based on data envelopment...

A Hybrid Fuzzy AHP-DEA Approach for Assessing University Performance

-In recent years, with the expansion of existing institutions as well as the establishment of new ones, higher education institutions have suffered the problem of declining available resources. Each university must assess the performance of its critical business units to measure effectiveness and efficiency. The purpose of this study is to assess university performance. In this study, we apply ...
