Undesirable Output such as pollution and waste may occasionally occur in the production process, which should be reduced to improve efficiency. In the present study, cost efficiency model is presented in the presence of undesirable output by Inverse Linear Programming, and the desirable cost is calculated in order to achieve cost efficiency for units that are technically efficient but not cost-...

recently, lotfi et al. [10] established an equivalence model between the output-oriented dual ccr model and multiple objective linear programming (molp) and used an interactive method for finding target unit on efficiency frontier such that the decision maker preferences can be taken into account. however their method is not applicable for situations in which some outputs are undesirable and ne...

Background: Aiming to explore learners’ viewpoint regarding training program of health care providers based on CIPP model, this research was conducted on health care providers in the city of Sabzevar in 2017. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 139 health care providers working in the health centers of ...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) creates many opportunities for collaboration between analyst and decision-maker. There are, however, situations in which all of the decision-making units (DMUs) fall under the umbrella of a centralized decision maker that oversees them. Many organizations such as bank branches, chain stores, … can do this. This centralized decision maker unit expect that resource...
