Abstract:

This paper introduces discretionary imprecise data in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and discusses the efficiency evaluation of Decision Making Units (DMUs) with non-discretionary imprecise data. Then, suggests a method for evaluation the efficiency of DMUs with non-discretionary imprecise data. When some inputs and outputs are imprecise and non-discretionary, the DEA model becomes non-linear programming problem. By a Theorem, we use the translation of imprecise data into exact data and then use the standard linear DEA model for evaluating DMUs with non-discretionary and imprecise data, which is the generalized form of envelopment form in input oriented of CCR model. To illustrate the proposed method, a numerical example with non-discretionary imprecise data is solved.

Non-Discretionary Factors and Imprecise Data in DEA

Discretionary models of data envelopment analysis (DEA) assume that all inputs and outputs can be varied at the discretion of management or other users. In any realistic situation, however, there may exist ”exogenously fixed” or non-discretionary factors that are beyond the control of a DMU’s management, which also need to be considered. Also DEA requires that the data for all discretionary inp...

Measuring Economic Efficiency of Kidney Bean Production using Non-Discretionary Data Envelopment Analysis

Efficient use of assets in agriculture is a goal for policy-makers and farmers. Agricultural input resources are scarce therefore optimum use of inputs in different agricultural operations is important. Mathematical programming technique such as data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a well-known approach for estimation efficiency of agricultural DMUs. In this study, efficiency of kidney bean produ...
