Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric method for evaluating the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) on the basis of multiple inputs and outputs. The context-dependent DEA is introduced to measure the relative attractiveness of a particular DMU when compared to others. In real-world situation, because of incomplete or non-obtainable information, the data (Input and ...

data envelopment analysis (dea) has been proven as an efficient technique to evaluate the performance of homogeneous decision making units (dmus) where multiple inputs and outputs exist. in the conventional applications of dea, the data are considered as specific numerical values with explicit designation of being an input or output. however, the observed values of the data are sometimes imprec...

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...

This paper examines the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology from a cognitive perspective. Specifically, it analyzes (a) the role of DEA scores as an overall efficiency measure and (b) to what extent the presence of DEA scores for a non-financial performance appraisal influences a posterior financial performance assessment. The study confirms that the efficiency score acts as a strong pe...

data envelopment analysis provides a theoretical framework for analyzing performance and measuring efficiency. using data envelopment analysis, we can evaluate units and organizations and discuss about their efficiency or inefficiency. in performance assessment of organizations, the most important goal is to rank the units according to their efficiency. since ranking decision making units in da...

Vendors play a key role in their company's success, so having a vendor's performance evaluation system in order to identify strengths, areas of improvement and profitability in any company is essential. In this paper, first data envelopment analysis (DEA) which is a technique to evaluate the performance of decision-making units (DMUs) is studied. Then the efficiency scores of 66 automotive vend...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a common technique in measuring the relative efficiency of a set of decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. ‎‎Standard DEA models are ‎‎quite limited models‎, ‎in the sense that they do not consider a DMU ‎‎at different times‎. ‎To resolve this problem‎, ‎DEA models with dynamic ‎‎structures have been proposed‎.‎In a recent pape...

determination of trade-off, which they are feasible and similar variations on all of decision making units (dmu), is important issue in data envelopment analysis (dea). in this paper, we select these trade-offs based on an external evaluation of dmus such that the correlation between external evaluation and technical evaluation resulted from dea model is maximized. in fact, we sift the trade-of...

In the performance evaluation process, using the classic data envelopment analysis (DEA) models, decision making units (DMUs) are considered as black boxes. While in many cases and different applications such as investment funds, banks, insurance companies, etc., DMUs have a network structure. In addition, in many network structures, some of the indicators used to calculate the efficiency...
