Estimating Returns to Scale in the Presence of Undesirable Factors in Data Envelopment Analysis

This research identifies returns to scale (RTS) of efficient decision making units (DMUs) with desirable (good) and undesirable (bad) inputs and outputs by presenting a new DEA (data envelopment analysis) approach. In this study, we first introduce a new input-output oriented model to determine efficient DMUs in the presence of undesirable factors and then, returns to scale of these DMUs are es...

A note on “Supplier selection by the pair of nondiscretionary factors-imprecise data envelopment analysis models”

   Recently, Farzipoor Saen [Journal of the Operational Research Society, 60(11), 1575–1582 (2009)] proposed a method based on data envelopment analysis to identify optimistic efficient suppliers in the presence of nondiscretionary factors-imprecise data. This short communication aims at showing a computational error in computing the value of preference intensity parameter in Farzipoor Saen’s [...

Supplier Selection in Supply Chain Management by Data Envelopment Analysis

Nowadays, managing a supply chain is turned to be one of the fundamentals of business process.  In doing so, investigating and analyzing each and every of the processes and selecting the best of each process is an important challenge for strategic managers. In this paper Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique is used and a model is provided for selecting the best suppliers with flexible inpu...

Developing a New Theory of Integer-Valued Data Envelopment Analysis for Supplier Selection in the Presence of Stochastic Data

Supplier selection has a strategic importance for every company. Hybrid integer data is one of the models in data envelopment analysis (DEA). In many real world applications, data are often stochastic. A successful approach to address uncertainty in data is to replace deterministic data via random variables, leading to chance-constrained DEA. In this paper, a chance-constrained hybrid integer d...
