In this paper, we propose the use of lexicographic parametric programming to recognize efficient units in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). By using the parameterization of the rhs vector of the envelopment problem, we obtain the efficiency curve which is traversing through the efficient frontier from unit to unit. The units in the basis with any parameter value are efficient and the unit domina...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming method in Operations Research that can be used to distinguish between efficient and inefficient decision making units (DMUs). However, the conventional DEA models do not have the ability to rank the efficient DMUs. This article suggests bootstrapping method for ranking measures of technical efficiency as calculated via non-radial mod...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a mathematical programming-based approach for evaluates the relative efficiency of a set of dmus (decision making units). the relative efficiency of a dmu is the result of comparing the inputs and outputs of the dmu and those of other dmus in the pps (production possibility set). also, in data envelopment analysis various models have been developed in order to...

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...

A firm tends to associate capacity planning with economic scale size and demand fulfillment for profit maximization. However, it is troublesome capacity dilemmas to achieve both of them simultaneously in stochastic environment. We propose a multi-objective stochastic programming with data envelopment analysis (DEA) constraints to find a compromise efficient benchmark.

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...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a relatively new “data oriented” non-parametric approach for evaluating the performance of complex entities called Decision Making Units (DMUs) which convert multiple inputs into multiple outputs. DEA as a linear programming procedure computes a comparative ratio of outputs to inputs for each DMU, which is reported as the relative efficiency score. In a relati...
