چکیده مقاله:

A characteristic of data envelopment analysis (DEA) is to allow individual decision making units (DMUs) to select the most advantageous weights in calculating their efficiency scores. This flexibility, on the other hand, deters the comparison among DMUs on a common base. For dealing with this difficulty and assessing all the DMUs on the same scale, this paper proposes using a multiple objective linear programming (MOLP) approach for generating a common set of weights in the DEA framework.

Finding 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...

Modified Goal Programming Approach for Improving the Discrimination Power and Weights Dispersion

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a technique based on linear programming (LP) to measure the relative efficiency of homogeneous units by considering inputs and outputs. The lack of discrimination among efficient decision making units (DMUs) and unrealistic input-outputs weights have been known as the drawback of DEA. In this paper the new scheme based on a goal programming data envelopment an...

A New Goal programming approach for cross efficiency evaluation

Cross efficiency evaluation was developed as an extension of DEA. But the traditional DEA models usually have alternative optimal solutions and, as a result, cross efficiency scores may not be unique. It is recommended that without changing the DEA efficiency scores, the secondary goal should be introduced for optimization of the inputs/outputs weights.  Several reports evaluated the perfo...

Within-group common weights in DEA: An analysis of power plant efficiency

In many real world applications where DEA is applied, DMUs can often be put into groups, such as those which may be under a single management team. This often means that the multipliers used within a group should be common across that group’s members. The case example examined in this regard is one involving a set of power plants, with each containing a set of power units under a common plant m...

a linear goal programming model for calculating common weights in data envelopment analysis problems

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a wide range of mathematical models that used for measuring the relative efficiency of a set of harmonic units whit similar inputs and outputs. this model calculates some different weight for input and output variables in each decision making model. this variation in similar weights caused some critiques to this method. from 1991 some linear and nonlinear mode...

Determining a common set of weights in DEA by solving a linear programming

In models of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), an optimal set of input and output weights is generally as-sumed to represent the assessed Decision Making Unit (DMU) in the best light in comparison to all the other DMUs. These sets of weights are, typically, different for each of the participating DMUs. Thus, it is important to find a Common Set of Weights (CSW) across the set of DMUs. In this pa...
