abstract

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 case of variable return to scale having the same drawback and may be infeasible in some cases. to overcome the drawbacks, some new integrated dea models are developed. in addition, to find and rank the other most efficient dmus, an algorithm is proposed. by using the model developed in this paper, the decision maker can find the most efficient dmu by solving only one linear integer programming. the applicability of the proposed model is indicated using imprecise data for 18 suppliers.

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...

a new dea model for finding most efficient dmu with imprecise data

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a widely recognized approach for evaluating the efficiencies of decision making units (dmus). because of easy and successful application and case studies, dea has gained much attention and widespread use by business and academy researchers. the conventional dea models (e.g. bcc and ccr) make an assumption that input and output data are exact values on a ratio ...

A Recurrent Neural Network to Identify Efficient Decision Making Units in Data Envelopment Analysis

In this paper we present a recurrent neural network model to recognize efficient Decision Making Units(DMUs) in Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA). The proposed neural network model is derived from an unconstrained minimization problem. In theoretical aspect, it is shown that the proposed neural network is stable in the sense of lyapunov and globally convergent. The proposed model has a single-laye...

An Extension to Imprecise Data Envelopment Analysis

The standard data envelopment analysis (DEA) method assumes that the values for inputs and outputs are exact. While DEA assumes exact data, the existing imprecise DEA (IDEA) assumes that the values for some inputs and outputs are only known to lie within bounded intervals, and other data are known only up to an order. In many real applications of DEA, there are cases in which some of the input ...

APPLICATION OF DEA FOR SELECTING MOST EFFICIENT INFORMATION SYSTEM PROJECT WITH IMPRECISE DATA

The selection of best Information System (IS) project from many competing proposals is a critical business activity which is very helpful to all organizations. While previous IS project selection methods are useful but have restricted application because they handle only cases with precise data. Indeed, these methods are based on precise data with less emphasis on imprecise data. This paper pro...

Data envelopment analysis for imprecise data in Buyer-Seller Relationship

In the environment of business‐to‐business e‐commerce, Buyers and sellers in mature industrial markets can turn single transactions into long-term beneficial relationships by a deeper understanding of the complex connection between the two and buyers and sellers are uncertain about their roles. A “must-do” for the sellers, in particular, is to understand patterns of investment and reward,...
