An Alternative Secondary Goal Approach to Modify Cross Efficiency Evaluation in Data Envelopment Analysis

an alternative secondary goal approach to modify cross efficiency evaluation in data envelopment analysis

the cross efficiency evaluation is used to performance measurement of decision making units in data envelopment analysis concept. one of the most important shortcoming of this method is existing alternative optimal solution and therefore, the efficiency scores are not unique. we are going to summarize the pervious models proposed by researchers and suggest an alternative secondary goal approach...

Introducing a secondary goal for evaluating DMUs by cross efficiency in data envelopment analysis

One way to rank DMUs in DEA is the cross efficiency method. In this method, the efficiencyof each DMU is calculated by other DMUs optimum weights, which makes the ranking moreacceptable for managers. Existing alternative optimum weights in cross efficiency methodlead to several ranks for DMUs. Several secondary goals have introduced to avoid thisproblem, till now. In this paper, a new model is ...

Secondary Goal in DEA Cross Efficiency Evaluation

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for estimating efficiency of decision making units (DMU).The method done by means of weighted output to input ratio with the weights being optimal virtual prices of such activities for all units. Cross efficiency evaluation has long been proposed as an alternative method for ranking DMUs. The major problem that reduced the usefulness of cross efficien...

A New Goal programming approach for cross efficiency evaluation

Cross efficiency evaluation was developed as an extension of DEA. But the traditional DEA models usually have alternative optimal solutions and, as a result, cross efficiency scores may not be unique. It is recommended that without changing the DEA efficiency scores, the secondary goal should be introduced for optimization of the inputs/outputs weights.  Several reports evaluated the perfo...

IMPROVING THE SELECTION SYMMETRIC WEIGHTS AS A SECONDARY GOAL IN DEA CROSS-EFFICIENCY EVALUATION

Recently, some authors proposed the use of symmetric weightsfor computing the elements of cross-efficiency matrix. In spite ofthe fact that the proposed method decreases the number of zeroweights, a large number of zero weights may still exist among inputand output symmetric weights. To decrease the number of input andoutput symmetric weights, this paper improves the proposed secondarygoal mode...
