this paper proposes a method for ranking decision making units (dmus) using some of the multiple criteria decision making / multiple attribute decision making          (mcdm /madm) techniques, namely, interval analytic hierarchy process (iahp)          and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (topsis).          since the efficiency score of unity is assigned to ...

This research proposes a new ranking system for extreme efficient DMUs (Decision Making Units) based upon the omission of these efficient DMUs from reference set of the inefficient DMUs. We state and prove some facts related to our model. A numerical example where the proposed method is compared with traditional ranking approaches is shown. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Sufficient conditions for simultaneous efficiency preservation of all efficient Decision Making Units (DMUs) and for inefficiency preservation of all inefficient DMUs in the Additive model of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) under the simultaneous non-negative perturbations of all data of all DMUs are obtained. An illustrative example is provided.

in many applications, ranking of decision making units (dmus) is a problematic technical task procedure to decision makers in data envelopment analysis (dea), especially when there are extremely efficient dmus. in such cases, many dea models may usually get the same efficiency score for different dmus. hence, there is a growing interest in ranking techniques yet. the purpose of this paper is ra...

The ways of placing decision making units (DMUs) in certain clusters are found as a subject in statistics, these ways usually are heuristic. The proposed clustering approach in this article considers preferences of DMUs. This study applies Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) DMUs are clustered by solving multi-objective linear problem (MOLP) and by considering preferences of each DMU at production ...

Conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) assists decision makers in distinguishing between efficient and inefficient decision making units (DMUs) in a homogeneous group. However, DEA does not provide more information about efficient units. Super-efficiency DEA models can be used in ranking the performance of efficient DMUs. This research proposes a methodology to determine an Euclidean dist...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is an appropriate tool for estimating various types of efficiency including Cost Efficiency (CE). Identifying and identifying inefficiency resources plays an important role in analyzing unit performance in order to plan for improving the status of Decision Making Units (DMUs). Now , if information on the inputs and outputs and pricing information of the evaluated...
