Reference-based ranking procedure for environmental decision making: Insights from an ex-post analysis

Ranking Efficient Decision Making Units in Data Envelopment Analysis based on Changing Reference Set

One of the drawbacks of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is the problem of lack of discrimination among efficient Decision Making Units (DMUs). A method for removing this difficulty is called changing reference set proposed by Jahanshahloo and et.al (2007). The method has some drawbacks. In this paper a modified method and new method to overcome this problems are suggested. The main advantage of...

A goal programming procedure for ranking decision making units in DEA

This research proposes a methodology for ranking decision making units byusing a goal programming model.We suggest a two phases procedure. In phase1, by using some DEA problems for each pair of units, we construct a pairwisecomparison matrix. Then this matrix is utilized to rank the units via the goalprogramming model.

A Ranking Procedure for Fuzzy Decision-making in Product Design

The decision-making process is a key issue for most manufacturing and services organizations, and forms an essential part of the product design process. Indeed, designers are always confronted with the dilemma of choosing between different alternatives with different parameters, often expressed in fairly vague terms. For this reason, many tools have been proposed offering more and better ways t...

Ranking Decision-Making Units Using Double-Frontier Analysis ‎Approach

Data envelopment analysis is a nonparametric method for measuring the performance of a set of decision-making units (DMUs) that consume multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs. Using this approach, the performance of DMUs is measured from both optimistic and pessimistic views. However, their results are very misleading and even contradictory in many cases. Indisputably, different performanc...
