Prioritizing Organizational Projects with Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis Approach (Case Study of Educational Research Plans)

The right choice of research projects is one of the most important effective ways to increase the productivity of research projects and allocate the resources appropriately. Training and education is one of the most important institutions for educating the students and prosperous people of the country. Due to the limited resources of this organization and, on the other hand, the expansion of scrupulous plans, prioritizing research projects is essential. Data coverage is one of the most important nonparametric tools for evaluating the performance of decision-making units. In this method, we evaluate the performance of the units by calculating the relative efficiency of the units. Also, due to the uncertainty of the data, the values ​​of the indices of research projects, by using the fuzzy data envelopment analysis, we prioritize the research projects. By reviewing the literature and research background, prioritizing research designs based on cost, time, risk, project quality and performance criteria in upgrading the country's macro level, which was categorized in two groups of data and outputs, respectively. The numerical and verbal values ​​of the indicators of the designs have been gathered by agreement with the experts. The results of the research indicate that the project "Reviewing the characteristics of the pay-as-you-go system and evaluating it based on the competency and competency benchmark and model presentation" is among the top priorities and should be considered more than other plans.
