data envelopment analysis (dea) is a nonparametric approach to estimate relative efficiency of decision making units (dmus). dea and is one of the best quantitative approach and balanced scorecard (bsc) is one of the best qualitative method to measure efficiency of an organization. since simultaneous evaluation of network performance of the quad areas of bsc model is considered as a necessity a...

the purpose of this study is to examine different scenarios for implementing operations in the pre-construction phase of a project, based on several competing criteria with different importance levels in order to achieve a more efficient execution plan. this paper presents a new framework that integrates discrete event simulation (des) and data envelopment analysis (dea) to rank different scena...

the evaluation and selection of recommender systems is a difficult decision making process. this difficulty is partially due to the large diversity of published evaluation criteria in addition to lack of standardized methods of evaluation. as such, a systematic methodology is needed that explicitly considers multiple, possibly conflicting metrics and assists decision makers to evaluate and find...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is one of non-parametric methods for evaluating efficiency of each unit. Limited resources in healthcare economy is the main reason in measuring efficiency of hospitals. In this study, a bootstrap interval data envelopment analysis (BIRDEA) is proposed for measuring the efficiency of hospitals affiliated with the Hamedan University of Medical Sciences. The propos...

Data envelopment analysis which is a nonparametric technique for evaluating relative efficiency of the decision making units with multiple inputs and outputs, has been a very popular method among researchers. While this nonparametric technique is popular, it has some drawbacks such as lack of discrimination in efficient units and weights dispersion .The present study, which is a model based on ...

in this study, mazandaran water and wastewater company’ performance is evaluated by using an input-oriented data envelopment analysis. as a principle, the performance of each organizational unit or organization should be measured as far as possible and what cannot be evaluated cannot be well governed. one method of evaluating the performance of units is data envelopment analysis method. one of ...

Examining the impacts of data modification is considered as sensitivity analysis. A lot of studies have considered the data modification of inputs and outputs in DEA. The issues which has not heretofore been considered in DEA sensitivity analysis is modification in the number of inputs and (or) outputs and determining the impacts of this modification in the status of efficiency of DMUs. This pa...

Performance Data envelopment analysis Managerial efficiency Profitability efficiency A two-stage approach in data envelopment analysis (2S-DEA) methodology is used towards decomposing a typical two-stage operation process of general insurance companies, which is conducted in a single operation involving intermediate. Specifically, we evaluate the managerial efficiency and profitability efficien...

This paper presents a novel approach to achieving the goals of data envelopment analysis in the process of reconstruction and integration of decision-making units by using multiple objective linear programming. In this regard, first, we review inverse data envelopment analysis models for data reconstruction and integration. We present a model with multi-objective linear programming structure in...
