a development on ahp/dea methodology for ranking decision making units
Authors
abstract
the ahp/dea methodology is an integration of analytical hierarchical process (ahp) and data envelopment analysis. this method uses the capabilities of both ahp and dea. however, it has some problems: it illogically compares two decision-making units in a data envelopment analysis (dea) model, it is not compatible with dea ranking in the case of multiple inputs/multiple outputs, and it leads to weak discrimination in the cases that number of inputs and outputs is large. in this paper, we propose a development on the first stage of the two-stage ahp/dea methodology that removes the mentioned problems. in the first stage, we develop a model which considers the effects of each unit on the others, and the second step is the same of the main method. numerical examples are presented in the paper to illustrate the advantages of the developed ahp/dea methodology

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.
full textRanking Decision Making Units based on their profit in competition to reach a standard level
The full ranking or complete ranking of decision making units is one of the main issues in data envelopment analysis. A full ranking is a ranking that considers all efficient and inefficient units simultaneously and finds a ranking for them. Almost all of the developed ranking methods consider only the efficient units. On the other hand, ranking inefficient units by traditional data envelop...
full textRanking Decision Making Units, using Non-radial Model, applying Bootstrap
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming method in Operations Research that can be used to distinguish between efficient and inefficient decision making units (DMUs). However, the conventional DEA models do not have the ability to rank the efficient DMUs. This article suggests bootstrapping method for ranking measures of technical efficiency as calculated via non-radial mod...
full textRanking 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...
full textRanking of decision making units based on cross efficiency by undesirable outputs and uncertainity
Cross efficiency is one of the useful methods for ranking of decision making units (DMUs) in data envelopment analysis (DEA). Since the optimal solutions of inputs and outputs weights are not unique so the selection of them are not simple and the ranks of DMUs can be changed by the difference weights. Thus, in this paper, we introduce a method for ranking of DMUs which does not have a unique pr...
full textRanking 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...
