In the conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) internal sub-processes of the production units are ignored. The current paper develops a network-DEA super-efficiency model to compare the performance of efficient network systems. A new ranking method is developed by aggregating the computed super-efficiency scores with a J-divergence measure. The proposed approach is then applied to evaluate...

The models described in this paper for treating congestion in DEA are extended by according them chance constrained programming formulations. The usual route used in chance constrained programming is followed here by replacing these stochastic models with their ‘‘deterministic equivalents.’’ This leads to a class of non-linear problems. However, it is shown to be possible to avoid some of the n...

This study intends to expand a set of proper performance evaluation indices which embraces strategies for sustaining top performance using SWOT analysis inside a balanced scorecard (BSC) outline for the large commercial bank branches in IRAN by operating a fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis (FDEA). Through literature reviews and the banks’ experts and managers opinions and who have real practical ...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA), which is used to determine the efficiency of a decision-making unit (DMU), is able to recognize the amount of input congestion. Moreover, the relative importance of inputs and outputs can be incorporated into DEA models by weight restrictions. These restrictions or a priori weights are introduced by the decision maker and lead to changes in models and efficiency...

in models of data envelopment analysis (dea), an optimal set of weights is generally assumed to represent the assessed decision making unit (dmu) in the best light in comparison to all the other dmus, and so there is an optimal set of weights corresponding to each dmu. the present paper, proposes a three stage method to determine one common set of weights for decision making units. then, we use...

in this paper, presenting two simple methods for ranking of efficient dmus in dea models that included to add one virtual dmu as ideal dmu and is using the additive model. note that, we use an ideal point just for comparing efficient dmus with. although these methods are simple, they have ability for ranking all efficient dmus, extreme points and the others, also they are capable of ranking the...

for better guiding a system, senior managers should have accurate information. using data envelopment analysis (dea) help managers in this objective. thus, many investigations have been made in order to find the most productive scale size (mpss) for the evaluating decision making units (dmus). in this paper we consider this case where there exist subsets of input and output variables to be inte...
