Data envelopment analysis (DEA) measures the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. DEA-based Malmquist productivity index measures the productivity change over time. We propose a dynamic DEA model involving network structure in each period within the framework a DEA. We have previously published the network DEA (NDEA) and the dynamic DEA ...

Data envelopment analysis is a method for evaluating the relative efficiency of a collection of decision making units. The DEA classic models calculate each unit’s efficiency in the best condition, meaning that finds a weight that the DMU is at its maximum efficiency. In this paper, utilizing the directional distance function model in the presence of undesirable outputs, the efficiency of each ...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) deals with evaluating a set of decision-making units (DMUs) based on nonparametric mathematical approaches. In classical DEA models, the given set of factors of DMUs is divided into two categories, inputs and outputs, while in some practical problems there are some measures whose membership to these categories is unclear. It means these factors treat different in...

This study consists of three types of vendor selection models in supply chains and presents a decision making scheme for choosing appropriate method for supplier selection under certainty, uncertainty and probabilistic conditions. These models are, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis (FDEA), and Chance Constraint Data Envelopment Analysis (CCDEA). In FDEA model we u...

Performance measurement of various organizations has been addressed by different researchers using various approaches with varied levels and dimensions of consideration. This paper presents a unique approach of combining Data Envelopment Analysis and Analytic Hierarchy Process for evaluating the performance of an organization. The said model overcomes the limitation of DEA model as well as AHP ...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and outputs. The traditional DEA treats decision making units under evaluation as black boxes and calculates their efficiencies with first inputs and last outputs. This carries the notion of missing some intermediate measures in the process of changing the inputs to...

Anchor DMUs are a new class in the general classification of Decision Making Units (DMUs) in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). An anchor DMU in DEA is an extreme-efficient DMU that defines the transition from the efficient frontier to the free-disposability part of the boundary of the Production Possibility Set (PPS). In this paper, the anchor points of the PPS of the CCR model are investigated....

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has two fundamental approaches for assessing theefficiency with different characteristics; radial and non-radial models. This paper isconcerned the non-radial model of Russell which is a non linear model. Conventional DEAfor a large dataset with many inputs/outputs would require huge computer resources in termsof memory and CPU time. Artificial Neural Network (AN...
