This paper proposes a new resource allocation model which is based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) and concerns systems with several homogeneous units operating under supervision of a central unit. The previous studies in DEA literature deal with reallocating/allocating organizational resource to improve performance or maximize the total amount of outputs produced by individual units. In tho...

Multiple Objective Programming (MOP) problems have become famous among many researchers due to more practical and realistic implementations. There have been a lot of methods proposed especially during the past four decades. In this paper, we develop a new algorithm based on a new approach to solve MOP problems by starting from a utopian point (which is usually infeasible) and moving towards the...

This paper uses the weighted L$_1-$norm to propose an algorithm for finding a well-dispersed subset of non-dominated solutions of multiple objective mixed integer linear programming problem. When all variables are integer it finds the whole set of efficient solutions. In each iteration of the proposed method only a mixed integer linear programming problem is solved and its optimal solutions gen...

Multi-objective De Novo linear programming (MODNLP) is problem for designing optimal system by reshaping the feasible set (Fiala [3] ). This paper deals with MODNLP having possibilistic objective functions coefficients. The problem is considered by inserting possibilistic data in the objective functions coefficients. The solution of the problem is defined and established under the using of effi...

Radial projection is a standard technique applied in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to calculate efficiency scores for input and/or output variables. In this paper, we have studied the appropriateness of radial projection for target setting. We have created a situation where the Decision Making Units (DMUs) are free to choose their own target values on the efficient frontier and then compared ...

data envelopment analysis operates as a tool for appraising the relative efficiency of a set of homogenous decision making units. this methodology is applied widely in different contexts. regarding to its logic, dea allows each dmu to take its optimal weight in comparison with other dmus while a similar condition is considered for other units. this feature is a bilabial characteristic which opt...
