this paper introduces discretionary imprecise data in data envelopment analysis (dea) and discusses the efficiency evaluation of decision making units (dmus) with non-discretionary imprecise data. then, suggests a method for evaluation the efficiency of dmus with non-discretionary imprecise data. when some inputs and outputs are imprecise and non-discretionary, the dea model becomes non-linear ...

one of the biggest problems of using data envelopment analysis for the evaluation of performance is the weakness of the separability for the decision maker units. this problem is generalizable because of the lower quantity of units in comparison with the ¬input and output quantities of the model [1]. this matter considerably reveals itself in the evaluation process of 23 provincial gas companie...

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...

bankruptcy in the same amount of time and history is very rampant and therefore the vision of the future can be prevented. using data envelopment analysis (dea) and malmquist index can precise evaluating of the performances of many different kinds of decision making units (dmu) such as hospitals, universities, business firms, etc. in this paper, we will modify directional distance formulation o...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs). Recently network DEA models been developed to examine the efficiency of DMUs with internal structures. The internal network structures range from a simple two-stage process to a complex system where multiple divisions are linked together with intermediate measures. In general, there ar...
