Abstract:

In data envelopment analysis (DEA), mul-tiplier and envelopment CCR models eval-uate the decision-making units (DMUs) under optimal conditions. Therefore, the best prices are allocated to the inputs and outputs. Thus, if a given DMU was not efficient under optimal conditions, it would not be considered efficient by any other models. In the current study, using common weights in DEA, a number of de-cision-making units are evaluated under the same conditions, and a number of two-stage network DEA models are proposed within the framework of multi-objective linear programming (MOLP) for finding common weights. Furthermore, using the infinity norm, common weight sets are de-termined in two-stage network models with MOLP structures.

Ranking Efficient DMUs in Two-stage Network DEA with Common Weights method

Two stages DEA models are used in many fields of management and industry. One of the concepts that has attracted the attention of researchers in the theory of production is the concept of ranking the units with a two-stage network. A unit ranking can provide useful information to decision makers (DMUs) about optimal decision making activities. This concept defines the superiority of a unit in t...

Ranking Two-Stage Process Using a Common Set of Weights in DEA

Supply chain management is the combination of art and science that goes into improving the supply chain. In some cases of supply chain especially two-stage process, differing weights for the same factors, may not acceptable. The purpose of this paper is a performance evaluation of two-stage using DEA and based on a CSW model and this method for ranking two-stage and could be used to measure the...

Decomposition weights and overall efficiency in two-stage additive network DEA

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a technique for performance evaluation of peer decision making units (DMUs). The network DEA models study the internal structures of DMUs. Using two-stage network structures as an example, the current paper examines additive efficiency decomposition where the overall efficiency is defined as a weighted average of stage efficiencies and the weights are used to ...

Two-stage network DEA-R based on value efficiency

It is essential for most organizations and financial institutes to be able to evaluate their decision-making units (DMUs), when there is only a ratio of inputs to outputs (or vice versa) available. In this paper, we will propose our two-stage DEA-R models, which are a combination of data envelopment analysis and ratio data, based on value efficiency. Integrating value efficiency into data envel...

A Goal Programming Method for Finding Common Weights in DEA with an Improved Discriminating Power for Efficiency

A characteristic of data envelopment analysis (DEA) is to allow individual decision making units (DMUs) to select the most advantageous weights in calculating their efficiency scores. This flexibility, on the other hand, deters the comparison among DMUs on a common base. For dealing with this difficulty and assessing all the DMUs on the same scale, this paper proposes using a multiple objective...

Sensitivity Analysis in Two-Stage DEA

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs) which uses a set of inputs to produce a set of outputs. In some cases, DMUs have a two-stage structure, in which the first stage utilizes inputs to produce outputs used as the inputs of the second stage to produce final outputs. One important issue in two-stage DEA is the sensitivity of...
