Data Envelopment Analysis Models In The Presence Of Ratio Data and Non-Discretionary Factors

A data envelopment analysis model with discretionary and non-discretionary factors in fuzzy environments

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a methodology for measuring the relative efficiencies of a set of decision-making units (DMUs) that use multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs. The standard DEA models assume that all inputs and outputs are crisp and can be changed at the discretion of management. While crisp input and output data are fundamentally indispensable in the standard DEA evalua...

Supplier selection using chance- constrained data envelopment analysis with non-discretionary factors and stochastic data

The changing economic conditions have challenged many organizations to search for more efficient and effective ways to manage their supply chain. During recent years supplier selection decisions have received considerable attention in the supply chain management (SCM) literature. There are four major decisions that are related to the supplier selection process: what product or services to order...

Measuring Economic Efficiency of Kidney Bean Production using Non-Discretionary Data Envelopment Analysis

Efficient use of assets in agriculture is a goal for policy-makers and farmers. Agricultural input resources are scarce therefore optimum use of inputs in different agricultural operations is important. Mathematical programming technique such as data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a well-known approach for estimation efficiency of agricultural DMUs. In this study, efficiency of kidney bean produ...

Prioritization method for non-extreme ecient unitsin data envelopment analysis

Super eciency data envelopment analysis(DEA) model can be used in ranking the performanceof ecient decision making units(DMUs). In DEA, non-extreme ecient unitshave a super eciency score one and the existing super eciency DEA models do notprovide a complete ranking about these units. In this paper, we will propose a methodfor ranking the performance of the extreme and non-extreme ecient units.
