Abstract:

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a powerful technique for performance evaluation of decision making units (DMUs). One of the main objectives that is followed in performance evaluation is discriminating among efficient DMUs to provide a complete ranking of DMUs. DEA successfully divides them into two categories: efficient DMUs and inefficient DMUs. The DMUs in the efficient category have identical efficiency score. But the question that raises here is in evaluation. Where several DMUs have the equal efficiency, which unit performs better and how can we rank these efficient units, Different methods have been presented for ranking the efficient units. In this paper, we propose a method for calculating an efficiency of DMUs by comparing with the bad benchmark line. Our approach obtain common set of weights to create the best efficiency score, such that the amount of DMUs that are efficient is less than that of other models. If we have more than one efficient DMU, we can rank them by the same model and it isn't necessary to use another ranking method.

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...

Conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) assists decision makers in distinguishing between efficient and inefficient decisionmaking units (DMUs) in a homogeneous group. However, DEA does not provide more information about the efficient DMUs. This research proposes a methodology to determine one common set of weights for the performance indices of only DEA efficient DMUs. Then, these DMUs ar...

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...

Ranking DEA Efficient Units with the Most Compromising Common Weights

One may employ Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to discriminate decision-making units (DMUs) into efficient and inefficient ones base upon the multiple inputs and output performance indices. In this paper we consider that there is a centralized decision maker (DM) who ‘owns’ or ‘supervises’ all the DMUs. In such intraorganizational scenario the DM has an interest in discriminating the efficient ...
