For efficiency evaluation of some of the Decision Making Units that have uncertain information, Rough Data Envelopment Analysis technique is used, which is derived from rough set theorem and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). In some situations rough data alter nonradially. To this end, this paper proposes additive rough–DEA model and illustrates the proposed model by a numerical example.

In many industries such as automotive industry, there are a lot of suppliers dealing with the final products manufacturer. With growing numbers of suppliers, the suppliers’ efficiency measurement often becomes the most significant concern for manufacturers. Therefore, various performance measurement models such as DEA, AHP, TOPSIS, are developed to support supplier selection decisions. After an...

in this paper, a discrete event simulation model of iranian railway system is used for analyzing performance of the system in freight sector. the model analysis shows more sensitivity of the system on loading and unloading facilities than on number of wagons and locomotives. system optimization through simulation optimization technique, shows that more than 4% of all wagons available in the net...

this study investigated the efficiency of wheat farms in sistan province. the data consisted of 50 samples from crop producers in the sistan region. using the simple sampling method, the data was collected by completing the questionnaires. to evaluate the farm efficiencies, the two approaches of the “data envelopment analysis” and the “optimization model including parameters to control for the ...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a nonstochastic and nonparametric linear programming technique where a set of units are evaluated according to their input consumption and output production (Charnes et al. (1978)). Given that DEA efficiency analysis can be influenced by the presence of outliers, Banker and Chang (2006) proposed a method to detect atypical units through the super-efficiency mo...

One of the fundamental problems in the classic DEA is lack of ability to distinguish unit's performance scores that is considered as a disadvantage. Recently, Parkan et al. [9] tried to address this problem.   They proposed to assess each unit both optimistic and pessimistic views are taken into account. In contrast to traditional evaluation, one index is considered for each unit based on the l...

introduction: several techniques are used to evaluate decision making units in dmus with a restricted multiplier. dea is recognized as a methodology widely used to evaluate the relative efficiency of a set of decision-making units (dmus) involved in a production process. this approach assumes that the input and output data of the different decision making units (dmus) are measured with precisio...
