data envelopment analysis (dea) with considering the best condition for each decision making unit (dmu) assesses the relative efficiency for it and divides a homogenous group of dmus in to two categories: efficient and inefficient, but traditional dea models can not rank efficient dmus. although some models were introduced for ranking efficient dmus, franklin lio & hsuan peng (2008), proposed a...

In the process of production, some of the inputs are fixed and cannot easily be changed, such as work hours of workers and hours of administrative or work, these types of inputs are fixed and others are variables. In this paper, by considering some inputs or outputs which are limited, their amounts must be integrated; this concept for integer data is extended. We show the importance of subject ...

background and objectives: evaluating the performance of clinical units is critical for effective managementof health settings. certain assessment of clinical variables for performance analysis is not always possible,calling for use of uncertainty theory. this study aimed to develop and evaluate an integrated independentcomponent analysis-fuzzy-data envelopment analysis approach to accurate the...

Traditional DEA models do not deal with imprecise data and assume that the data for all inputs and outputs are known exactly. Inverse DEA models can be used to estimate inputs for a DMU when some or all outputs and efficiency level of this DMU are increased or preserved. this paper studies the inverse DEA for fuzzy data. This paper proposes generalized inverse DEA in fuzzy data envelopment anal...

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 this paper, presenting two simple methods for ranking of efficient dmus in dea models that included to add one virtual dmu as ideal dmu and is using the additive model. note that, we use an ideal point just for comparing efficient dmus with. although these methods are simple, they have ability for ranking all efficient dmus, extreme points and the others, also they are capable of ranking the...

for better guiding a system, senior managers should have accurate information. using data envelopment analysis (dea) help managers in this objective. thus, many investigations have been made in order to find the most productive scale size (mpss) for the evaluating decision making units (dmus). in this paper we consider this case where there exist subsets of input and output variables to be inte...
