Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is non-parametric linear programming (LP) based technique for estimating the relative efficiency of different decision making units (DMUs) assessing the homogeneous type of multiple-inputs and multiple-outputs. The procedure does not require a priori knowledge of weights, while the main concern of this non-parametric technique is to estimate the optimal weights o...

Efficiency and evaluation is one of the main and most important demands of organizations, companies and institutions. As these organizations deal with a large amount of data, therefore, it is necessary to evaluate them on the basis of scientific methods to improve their efficiency. Data envelopment analysis is a suitable method for measuring the efficiency and performance of organizations. This...

background improving efficiency of health sector is of particular importance in all countries. to reach this end, it is paramount to measure the efficiency. on the other hand, there are many factors that affect the efficiency of health systems. this study aimed to measure the technical efficiency (te) of health systems in economic cooperation organization (eco) countries during 2004–10 and to d...

Technique of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) involves methods conducted for desirable objective management of Decision Making Unit (DMU) that is same increasing of efficiency level. Data envelopment analysis furthermore determines the efficiency level, provides situation, removes inefficiency with evaluated benchmarking information. In this paper the use of the improvement Least-Distance measur...
