the failure mode and effects analysis (fmea) is a widely used analytical technique that helps to identify and reduce the risks of failure in a system, component, or process. one important issue of fmea is the determination of the risk priorities of failure modes. risk ranking is produced in order to prioritize the focus on each of the failure modes that are identified. in this study, we applied...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a non-parametric method for evaluating the relative technical efficiency for each member of a set of peer decision making units (dmus) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. the original dea models use positive input and output variables that are measured on a ratio scale, but these models do not apply to the variables in which interval scale data can appe...

on account of the existence of uncertainty, dea occasionally faces the situation of imprecise data, especially when a set of dmus include missing data, ordinal data, interval data, stochastic data, or fuzzy data. therefore, how to evaluate the efficiency of a set of dmus in interval environments is a problem worth studying. in this paper, we discussed the new method for evaluation and ranking i...

One of the important goals of banks as important economic enterprises of any country is to increase economic efficiency. One of the important goals of banks as important economic enterprises of any country is to increase economic efficiency. The classical approach to data envelopment analysis models takes into account the linear valuation function for all indicators. But linear valuation in man...

One of the problems of the data envelopment analysis traditional models in the multiple form that is the weights corresponding to certain inputs and outputs are considered zero in the calculation of efficiency and this means that not all input and output components are utilized for the evaluation of efficiency, as some are ignored. The above issue causes the efficiency score of the under evalua...

having a comprehensive evaluation model with reliable data is useful to improve performance of supply chain. in this paper, according to the nature of supply chain, a model is presented that able to evaluate the performance of the supply chain by a network data envelopment analysis model and by using the financial, intellectual capital (knowledge base), collaboration and responsiveness factors ...

the need to establish power plants to supply the required electricity of the country has been rising due to increasing demand levels as well as the lack of governmental resources. furthermore, the available traditional attitude in performing and conducting power plant projects has made government seek a modern attitude. this paper tries to use the topics that have been employed in automotive in...
