The existing data envelopment analysis (DEA) models for measuring the relative efficiencies of a set of decision making units (DMUs) using various inputs to produce various outputs are limited to crisp data. The notion of fuzziness has been introduced to deal with imprecise data. Fuzzy DEA models are made more powerful for applications. This paper develops the measure of efficiencies in input o...

The purpose of the current research is to provide a performance appraisal system capable of considering the value chain network structure of research and development (R&D) projects for Complex products and systems (CoPS) under uncertainty of data. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, a network data envelopment analysis (NDEA) approach and the possibilistic programming to provide a new fuzz...

Performance assessment is a central to the management process in any type of organization. In addition, making rational economical decisions improve organizational performance daunting task, as organization typically multi-faceted entity which rely on complex systems that use uncertain information. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) powerful quantitative tool makes multiple inputs and outputs obta...

Mathematical programming is one of the areas to which fuq set theoq has been applied extensively. Primarily based on Bellman and Zadeh’s model of decision in fuzzy environments, models have been suggested which allow flexibility in constraints and nonlinear programming. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method of evaluating relative efJiciencies for a group of similar units based on an efici...
