In this paper, we reformulate the conventional DEA models as an imprecise problem and propose a novel method for evaluating DMUs when inputs outputs are fuzzy and/or ordinal or vary in intervals. For purpose, convert all data into interval data. order to each number data, use nearest weighted approximation of numbers by applying weighting function, one. manner, could The presented determine eff...

Abstract Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models give each decision making unit freedom to assign values the input-output weights maximising its efficiency score. However, there is no guarantee that optimal obtained from a DEA model are always positive which poses problem, in both theory and practice. This paper offers new linear programming deal with zero problem without restricting or placing ...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming technique for evaluatingthe relative efficiency of a set of Decision Making Units (DMUs) and can also be utilized forsetting target. Target setting is one of the important subjects since according to its resultsefficiency can be increased. An important issue to be currently discussed, is to set targetwhile considering share data. The...
