data envelopment analysis (dea) is a wide range of mathematical models that used for measuring the relative efficiency of a set of harmonic units whit similar inputs and outputs. this model calculates some different weight for input and output variables in each decision making model. this variation in similar weights caused some critiques to this method. from 1991 some linear and nonlinear mode...

the ways of placing decision making units (dmus) in certain clusters are found as a subject in statistics, these ways usually are heuristic. the proposed clustering approach in this article considers preferences of dmus. this study applies data envelopment analysis (dea) dmus are clustered by solving multi-objective linear problem (molp) and by considering preferences of each dmu at production ...

for better guiding a system, senior managers should have accurate information. using data envelopment analysis (dea) help managers in this objective. thus, many investigations have been made in order to find the most productive scale size (mpss) for the evaluating decision making units (dmus). in this paper we consider this case where there exist subsets of input and output variables to be inte...

this paper proposes a new approach for determining efficient dmus in dea models using inverse optimi-zation and without solving any lps. it is shown that how a two-phase algorithm can be applied to detect effi-cient dmus. it is important to compare computational performance of solving the simultaneous linear equa-tions with that of the lp, when computational issues and complexity analysis are a...

in this study, mazandaran water and wastewater company’ performance is evaluated by using an input-oriented data envelopment analysis. as a principle, the performance of each organizational unit or organization should be measured as far as possible and what cannot be evaluated cannot be well governed. one method of evaluating the performance of units is data envelopment analysis method. one of ...

This paper processes a combined method, based on VIKOR and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to select the units with most efficiency. We utilize the VIKOR as compromise solution method. This research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the alternatives, where each alternative has multiple inputs and outputs. The problem involves BELIEF parameters in the solution procedure. First, the alt...

This paper processes a unification of Fuzzy TOPSIS and Data Envelopment Analysis DEA to select the units with most efficiency. This research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the organizational alternatives, where each alternative has multiple inputs and outputs. First, the alternative evaluation problem is formulated byData Envelopment Analysis DEA and separately formulates each pair...

In this paper, the performance of [different] units of Water and Sewage Company in Isfahan Province was evaluated using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The purpose of this study was to provide a clear picture of the relative performance of Decision-Making Units (DMUs) in 2018. The advantage of using the DEA model over parametric models is to measure the performance of units using specific weig...

this paper presents a data envelopment analysis (dea) model combined with bootstrapping to assess performance of one of the data mining algorithms. we applied a two-step process for performance productivity analysis of insurance branches within a case study. first, using a dea model, the study analyzes the productivity of eighteen decision-making units (dmus). using a malmquist index, dea deter...
