Return-To-Scale (RTS) is a most important topic in DEA. Many methods are not obtained for estimating RTS in DEA, yet. In this paper has developed the Banker-Trall approach to identify situation for RTS for the BCC model "multiplier form" with virtual weight restrictions that are imposed to model by DM judgments. Imposing weight restrictions to DEA models often has created problem of infeasibili...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs). Recently DEA has been extended to examine the efficiency of two-stage processes, where all the outputs from the first stage are intermediate measures that make up the inputs to the second stage. The resulting two-stage DEA model provides not only an overall efficiency score for the ent...

A technique used to assess relative performance in a multiple input–output framework is data envelopment analysis (DEA). In basic DEA models, an entitymay show its best performanceby selecting input and output factor weights different from those selected by the other entities in thesample. Hence, when usingbasic DEAmodels, divergence of weighting schemesacross the assessedentitiescannot beruled...

Supplier selection is a multi-Criteria problem. This study proposes a hybrid model for supporting the suppliers’ selection and ranking. This research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the suppliers where each supplier has multiple Inputs and Outputs. First, the supplier evaluation problem is formulated by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), since the regarded decision deals with uncertai...

in this paper, different input-oriented ratio-based dea (dea-r-i) models are proposed. by presenting the envelopment-additive-enhanced russell model based on the dea-r-i form, each decision making unit is evaluated and its efficiency score is calculated. also, by presenting the central resource allocation model based on the dea-r-i form, a suitable benchmark for all dmus is proposed by solving ...

This research further develops the combined use of principal component analysis (PCA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA). The aim is to reduce the curse of dimensionality that occurs in DEA when there is an excessive number of inputs and outputs in relation to the number of decision-making units. Three separate PCA–DEA formulations are developed in the paper utilising the results of PCA to dev...

The data envelopment analysis (DEA) is an optimization based technique that has been proposed by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (1978) to measure the relative efficiency of public sector activities and no profit organizations, such as for example educational institutions and health services. The DEA efficiency measure is computed by solving a fractional linear programming model that can be converte...

Utilizing recent developments in data envelopment analysis (DEA), this paper examines the performance of the top 55 U.S. commercial banks via a two-stage production process that separates profitability and marketability. Substantial performance inefficiency is uncovered in both dimensions. Relatively large banks exhibit better performance on profitability, whereas smaller banks tend to perform ...

MCDA in general and multiple objective linear programming (MOLP) in particular can be used for planning future performances. The model structures of DEA and MOLP have much in common and research on integrating DEA and MOLP has attracted increasing attentions to support both past performance assessment and future target setting in integrated manners (Cooper, 2004). For instance, Golany (1988) de...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a widely used mathematical programming approach for comparing the input and output of a set of comparable decision-making units (DMUs) by evaluating their relative efficiency. The traditional DEA methods require accurate measurement of both the inputs and outputs. However, the real evaluation of the DMUs is often characterized by imprecision and uncertainty in...
