Characterizing and finding full dimensional efficient facets of PPS with constant returns to scale technology

چکیده
In DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis), the Full Dimensional Efficient Facets (FDEFs) of PPS (Production Possibility Set) play a significant role and have many useful applications. In this research, we, first, provide a detailed characterization of the structure of FDEFs of the PPS with constant returns to scale technology, using basic concepts of the polyhedral sets theory. Then, using the mentioned characterization together with a mixed integer linear programming, we propose an effective algorithm for finding all of the FDEFs of the PPS. We will elaborate on our algorithm by an illustrative example.

Creating Full Envelopment in Data Envelopment Analysis with Variable Returns to Scale Technology
In this paper, weak defining hyperplanes and the anchor points in DEA, as an important subset of the set of extreme efficient points of the Production Possibility Set (PPS), are used to construct unobserved DMUs and in the long run to improve the envelopment of all observed DMUs. There has been a surge of articles on improving envelopment in recent years. What has been done first is in Constant...
متن کاملCharacterization of efficient points of the production possibility set under variable returns to scale in DEA
We suggest a method for finding the non-dominated points of the production possibility set (PPS) with variable returns to scale (VRS) technology in data envelopment analysis (DEA). We present a multiobjective linear programming (MOLP) problem whose feasible region is the same as the PPS under variable returns to scale for generating non-dominated points. We demonstrate that Pareto solutions o...
متن کاملfinding the defining hyperplanes of production possibility set with variable returns to scale using the linear independent vectors
The Production Possibility Set (PPS) is defined as the set of all inputs and outputs of a system in which inputs can produce outputs. In Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), it is highly important to identify the defining hyperplanes and especially the strong defining hyperplanes of the empirical PPS. Although DEA models can determine the efficiency of a Decision Making Unit (DMU), but they...

This paper addresses issue of sensitivity of efficiency classification of variable returns to scale (VRS) technology for enhancing the credibility of data envelopment analysis (DEA) results in practical applications when an additional decision making unit (DMU) needs to be added to the set being considered. It also develops a structured approach to assisting practitioners in making an appropria...
