This study analyzes the technical-economic feasibility study for construction of solar plants in 14 different locations of Khuzestan province in Iran. The HOMER software, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), Balanced Scorecard (BSC), and Game Theory (GT) were used for ranking the areas in the province. The outputs of the HOMER software includes the kind of equipment to be used for building of each ...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric method from the area of operations research that measures the relationship of produced outputs to assigned inputs and determines an efficiency score. This efficiency score can be interpreted as a performance measure in investment analysis. Recent literature contains intensive discussion of using DEA to measure the performance of hedge funds, as...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is one of the scientific method that computes the efficiency by using a powerful mathematics basic. data envelopment analysis is a non-parametric technique to evaluate the efficiency of a set of decision making units (dmu) with multi inputs and outputs . since dea’s models classifies decision making units into two categories of efficient and inefficient, so most ...

in this current study a generalized super-efficiency model is first proposed for ranking extreme efficient decision making units (dmus) in stochastic data envelopment analysis (dea) and then, a deterministic (crisp) equivalent form of the stochastic generalized super-efficiency model is presented. it is shown that this deterministic model can be converted to a quadratic programming model. so fa...

 Recently, Khodabakhshi and Aryavash have introduced a ranking method [Applied Mathematics Letters, 25 (2012) 2066-2070.], which is based on an optimistic-pessimistic approach of data envelopment analysis (DEA). This method ranks all decision making units according to a combination of their minimum and maximum possible efficiency scores which are determined by solving two linear programming mo...

Increase in competition level and unclear demand in the market have made organizations to utilize scientific models and techniques for optimizing their management process. Among the main processes effective on organizations performance is to select appropriate providers. The following research tries to present an optimized solution for providers, assessment and selection. The study uses data en...

Data envelopment analysis is a non-parametric linear programming method capable of the efficiency evaluation of decision making units (e.g. public transport companies). It is very often used in the transport sector for the efficiency assessment of airports, ports, railways and public transport companies. However, the original DEA method does not differentiate the efficient firms and thus, does ...

Performance measurement of various organizations has been addressed by different researchers using various approaches with varied levels and dimensions of consideration. This paper presents a unique approach of combining Data Envelopment Analysis and Analytic Hierarchy Process for evaluating the performance of an organization. The said model overcomes the limitation of DEA model as well as AHP ...
