Abstract:

In this paper, by introducing two virtual decision-making units (DMUs) called ideal DMU (IDMU) and anti-ideal DMU (ADMU) with fuzzy inputs-outputs, the efficiency evaluation of DMUs are done by fuzzy data envelopment analysis (FDEA). Therefore, we evaluate DMUs from the perspective of the best and worst possible relative efficiency. For each DMU two efficiencies are calculated while inputs and outputs are fuzzy. These two distinctive efficiencies are combined with the closeness coefficient (CC) index. The CC index is then used for an overall ranking of all DMUs. Finally, we compare the result of proposed fuzzy DEA model with León et al.’s (2003) results by representing a numerical example.

A Full Ranking for Decision Making Units Using Ideal and Anti-Ideal Points in DEA

We propose a procedure for ranking decision making units in data envelopment analysis, based on ideal and anti-ideal points in the production possibility set. Moreover, a model has been introduced to compute the performance of a decision making unit for these two points through using common set of weights. One of the best privileges of this method is that we can make ranking for all decision ma...

A comprehensive common weights data envelopment analysis model: Ideal and anti-ideal virtual decision making units approach

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) calculates the relative efficiency of homogenous decision-making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and outputs. Classic DEA models usually suffer from several issues such as: discrimination power, variable weights of inputs/outputs, inaccurate efficiency estimation for small number of DMUs, incapability in working with zero and negative data, and not having exter...

DEA efficiency assessment using ideal and anti-ideal decision making units

This paper introduces two virtual decision making units (DMUs) called ideal DMU (IDMU) and anti-ideal DMU (ADMU) into the data envelopment analysis (DEA). The resultant DEA models are, respectively, referred to as the data envelopment analysis with ideal and anti-ideal decision making units. One evaluates DMUs from the viewpoint of the best possible relative efficiency, while the other evaluate...

Ranking Decision Making Units with the ideal and anti-ideal points

This paper introduces two virtual Decision Making Units (DMUs) called ideal point and anti-ideal point, Then calculates distances of each DMU to the ideal and anti-ideal point. The two distinctive distances are combined to form a comprehensive index called the relative closeness (RC) just like the TOPSIS approach. The RC index is used as an overall ranking for all the DMUs. Then, this method co...

Group decision-making based on concepts of ideal and anti-ideal points in a fuzzy environment

Decision-making problems (location selection) often involve a complex decision-making process in which multiple requirements and uncertain conditions have to be taken into consideration simultaneously. In evaluating the suitability of alternatives, quantitative/qualitative assessments are often required to deal with uncertainty, subjectiveness and imprecise data, which are best represented with...
