The cross-efficiency method, as a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) extension, calculates the cross efficiency of each decision making unit (DMU) using the weights of all decision making units (DMUs). The major advantage of the cross-efficiency method is that it can provide a complete ranking for all DMUs. In addition, the cross-efficiency method could eliminate unrealistic weight results. Howeve...

There has been an ever growing concern to measure efficiency of decision making units (DMUs). Parametric approaches have been the popular methods for measuring the same. Data Envelope Analysis (DEA) is an addition in this domain. This paper is an attempt to understand the concept of DEA approach. DEA is a Linear Programming Problem that provides a means of calculating apparent efficiency levels...

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 ...

In banking system the evaluation of productivity and performance is key factor among fundamental concepts in management. For identify potential a bank efficiency parameter to evaluate effective system. To measure selection appropriate input-output variables one most vital issues. The suitable identification helps create model order analysis. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) mathematical approach...

The objective of this paper is to present a methodology for selecting decision making units (DMUs) in the presence of undesirable outputs and imprecise data. The proposed model is applied in supplier selection problem. A numerical example demonstrates the application of the proposed method.

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a technique used to evaluate the relative efficiency of comparable decision making units (dmus) with multiple input-output. it computes a scalar measure of efficiency and discriminates between efficient and inefficient dmus. it can also provide reference units for inefficient dmus without consideration of the decision makers’ (dms) preferences. in this paper, ...

A characteristic of data envelopment analysis (DEA) is to allow individual decision making units (DMUs) to select the factor weights that are the most advantages for them in calculating their efficiency scores. This flexibility in selecting the weights, 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 s...

One of the drawbacks of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is the problem of lack of discrimination among efficient Decision Making Units (DMUs). A method for removing this difficulty is called changing reference set proposed by Jahanshahloo and et.al (2007). The method has some drawbacks. In this paper a modified method and new method to overcome this problems are suggested. The main advantage of...
