Abstract:

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 proposes a new integrated Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model which is able to identify most efficient IS project in presence of imprecise data. As an advantage, proposed model identifies most efficient IS project by solving only one Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP). Applicability of proposed method is indicated by using data set includes specifications of 8 competing projects in Iran Ministry of Commerce.

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 new data envelopment analysis (dea) model to determine the most efficient decision making unit (dmu) with imprecise data

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 ...

Efficiency distribution and expected efficiencies in DEA with imprecise data

Several methods have been proposed for ranking the decision-making units (DMUs) in data envelopment analysis (DEA) with imprecise data. Some methods have only used the upper bound efficiencies to rank DMUs. However, some other methods have considered both of the lower and upper bound efficiencies to rank DMUs. The current paper shows that these methods did not consider the DEA axioms and may be...

Efficient Data Mining with Evolutionary Algorithms for Cloud Computing Application

With the rapid development of the internet, the amount of information and data which are produced, are extremely massive. Hence, client will be confused with huge amount of data, and it is difficult to understand which ones are useful. Data mining can overcome this problem. While data mining is using on cloud computing, it is reducing time of processing, energy usage and costs. As the speed of ...

Ranking DEA Efficient Units with the Most Compromising Common Weights

One may employ Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to discriminate decision-making units (DMUs) into efficient and inefficient ones base upon the multiple inputs and output performance indices. In this paper we consider that there is a centralized decision maker (DM) who ‘owns’ or ‘supervises’ all the DMUs. In such intraorganizational scenario the DM has an interest in discriminating the efficient ...
