Abstract:

This ‎paper presents a new multi-objective fuzzy stochastic data envelopment analysis model          (MOFS-DEA) under mean chance constraints and common weights to estimate the efficiency of decision making units for future financial periods of them. In the initial MOFS-DEA ‏model, the outputs and inputs are ‎characterized by random triangular fuzzy variables with normal distribution, in which data are ‎changing sequentially. Since the initial MOFS-DEA model is a complex model, we ‎convert it to its equivalent one-objective stochastic programming by ‎using infinite-norm approach. To solve it, we design a new hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm by integrating Imperialist Competitive Algorithm and Monte Carlo simulation. Finally, this paper presents a real application of the proposed model and the designed hybrid algorithm for predicting the efficiency of five gas stations for the next two periods of them, with using real information which gathered from credible sources. The results will be compared with the Qin’s hybrid algorithm in terms of solution quality and runtime.

A New Dynamic Random Fuzzy DEA Model to Predict Performance of Decision Making Units

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a methodology for measuring the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) which ‎consume the same types of inputs and producing the same types of outputs. Believing that future planning and predicting the ‎efficiency are very important for DMUs, this paper first presents a new dynamic random fuzzy DEA model (DRF-DEA) with ‎common weights (using...

A new approach to rank the decision making units in presence of infeasibility in intuitionistic fuzzy environment

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a linear programming based methodology to determine the relative performance efficiencies of homogeneous decision making units (DMUs). In real world applications, some input and output datas do not possess crisp/fuzzy essence but they possess intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) essence. So, in this study, we develop an IF BCC (IFBCC) and an IF super efficiency BCC (IFSE...

a new model for fuzzy multiple criteria decision making to rank suppliers (case study: advertising company)

one of important issues in designing a supply chain is supplier selection. this issue is complicated, because each supplier should satisfy some criteria from buyer and choosing among them is actually a multi criteria decision making problem. so, there is a need for a structured and systematic approach to solve this problem. in this article, we address supplier selection in an advertising indust...

Designing a model of intuitionistic fuzzy VIKOR in multi-attribute group decision-making problems

Multiple attributes group decision making (MAGDM) is regarded as the process of determining the best feasible solution by a group of experts or decision makers according to the attributes that represent different effects. In assessing the performance of each alternative with respect to each attribute and the relative importance of the selected attributes, quantitative/qualitative evaluations ar...
