abstract. data envelopment analysis (dea) is now widely utilized as a method for assessing relative efficiency of a set of decision making units (dmus). along as evaluating relative efficiency dea models are capable of to be improved for finding benchmark for inefficient units which can help managers for better making decision. thus it is important to obtain accurate results from dea models. in...

This article combines two techniques: data envelopment analysis (DEA) and Factor analysis (FA) to data reduction in decision making units (DMU). Data envelopment analysis (DEA), a popular linear programming technique is useful to rate comparatively operational efficiency of decision making units (DMU) based on their deterministic (not necessarily stochastic) input–output data and factor analysi...

Abstract—Data Envelopment Analysis is a kind of important analyzing tool and research method in evaluation. As a method, introducing secondary relative evaluation method, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is applied to evaluate road traffic safety in different areas based on optimizing evaluation index system. This paper mostly discusses the relatively safety of different areas. Keywords—road...

for efficiency evaluation of some of the decision making units that have uncertain information, rough data envelopment analysis technique is used, which is derived from rough set theorem and data envelopment analysis (dea). in some situations rough data alter nonradially. to this end, this paper proposes additive rough–dea model and illustrates the proposed model by a numerical example.

Rough data envelopment analysis (RDEA) evaluates the performance of the decision making units (DMUs) under rough uncertainty assumption. In this paper, new discussion regarding RDEA is extended. The RSBM model is proposed by integrating SBM model and rough set theory. The process of reaching solution is presented and this model is applied to efficiency evaluation of the DMUs with uncertain ...

abstract o ur basic aim in this paper concerns the question that if overusing the information technology by service and manufacturing firms can increase the total productivity resulting from this kind of technology regarding the iran's economic structure and conditions. for this purpose, we primarily evaluate the productivity resulting from the rate of firms' use of it for the differe...

This paper is aimed to give an illustration on the application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as a tool to assess Quality Management (QM) efficiency. A variant of DEA, slack based measure (SBM) is used for this purpose. From this study, it is found that DEA is suitable to measure QM efficiency and give improvement suggestions to the inefficient QM. Keywords—Quality Management, Data Envelopm...

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...
