Finding the Most Preferred Decision-Making Unit in Data Envelopment Analysis

Finding the most efficient decision making unit in data envelopment Analysis

Although discriminating between all efficient decision making units (DMUs) with identical efficiency is a very important subject in data envelopment analysis (DEA), it may not be an easy task, particularly when the decision maker wants to select one and only one efficient DMU among all. There are some papers that have proposed methods for finding an efficient DMU as the most efficient one but h...

Benchmark Forecasting in Data Envelopment Analysis for Decision Making Units

Although DEA is a powerful method in evaluating DMUs, it does have some limitations. One of the limitations of this method is the result of the evaluation is based on previously data and the results are not proper for forecasting the future changes. So For this purpose, we design feedback loops for forecasting inputs and outputs through system dynamics and simulation. Then we use DEA model to f...

a new data envelopment analysis (dea) model to determine the most efficient decision making unit (dmu) with imprecise data

sohrabi and nalchigar (2010) proposed a new data envelopment analysis (dea) model to identify the most efficient decision-making unit (dmu) in presence of imprecise data. in this paper, it is shown that the proposed model is not able to determine the most efficient dmu and is randomly introduced an efficient dmu. in addition, it is shown that this model determines the most efficient dmu in the ...

Finding Outlier DMUs in Data Envelopment Analysis

Alternative mixed integer linear programming models for identifying the most efficient decision making unit in data envelopment analysis

Amixed integer linear model for selecting the best decisionmaking unit (DMU) in data envelopment analysis (DEA) has recently been proposed by Foroughi [Foroughi, A. A. (2011a). A new mixed integer linear model for selecting the best decision making units in data envelopment analysis. Computers and Industrial Engineering, 60(4), 550–554], which involves many unnecessary constraints and requires ...
