Abstract:

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is actually to obtain the efficiency using inputs and outputs, which can determine efficient and inefficient units with the help of performance calculations such that the efficiency for efficient DMUs is one and less than one for inefficient DMUs [1]. In some cases, the ranking of the decision-making units are not important for decision-makers, and they are only looking to obtain the most efficient DMUs, so that they can directly achieve the most efficient DMU from all existing DMUs. In a number of papers regarding this subject, several steps were taken to find the most efficient DMU, [2,3], which later examined the problems of these models and other models were announced by the researchers to resolve them. Some of the problems that can be mentioned:1. Solving the model took place in two steps and could not directly reach the final answer.2. Many unnecessary conjunctions were used in the models.Other models were proposed to solve the problems that could eliminate unnecessary conjunctions and solve the problem in two phases [5].Therefore, in this paper, it has been tried to provide a model that avoids unnecessary conjunctions, and most importantly, maximizes the distance between the other DMUs of an efficient DMU [6].

Efficient location by using data envelopment analysis

So far, many types of location models have been developed to find optimal spatial patterns according to different spatial metrics such as cost, coverage and availability.  The initial focus of these models is on the location availability of service providers and demand estimates, and some of these models are within the framework of multi-objective programming models.  After the advent of scienc...

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 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 ...

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF EFFICIENT AND INEFFICIENT UNITS IN INTEGER-VALUED DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS

One of the issues in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is sensitivity and stability region of the speci c decision making unit (DMU), included ecient and inecient DMUs. In sensitivity analysis of ecient DMUs,the largest region should be found namely stability region thatdata variations are only for ecient DMU under evaluation and the data for the remainingDMUs are assumed xed. Also ecient DMU u...

Complex-Valued Data Envelopment Analysis

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric approach for measuring the relative efficiency of a decision making units consists of multiple inputs and outputs. In all standard DEA models semi positive real valued measures are assumed, while in some real cases inputs and outputs may take complex valued. The question is related to measuring efficiency in such cases. As far as we are aware, ...

Weight restrictions in Data Envelopment Analysis: A comprehensive Genetic Algorithm based approach for incorporating value judgments

The basic DEA model experiences the weights flexibility problem which is resolved by the method of weight restrictions. The current research incorporating Decision Makers’ (DMs) preferences into weight restrictions is subject to serious limitations such as lacking a framework for dual role factors and not incorporating organizational hierarchy in decision-making. The proposed Genetic Algorithm ...
