data envelopment analysis (dea) is an approach for evaluating performances of decision making units (dmus). the performances of dmus are affected by the amount of sources that dmus used. usually increases in inputs cause increases in outputs. however, there are situations where increases in one or more inputs generate a reduction in one or more outputs. in such situations there is congestion in...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a branch of management, concerned with evaluating the performances of homogeneous decision making units (dmus). the performances of dmus are affected by the amount of sources that dmus used. usually increases in inputs cause increases in outputs. however, there are situations where increase in one or more inputs generate a reduction in one or more outputs. in ...

In models of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), an optimal set of input and output weights is generally as-sumed to represent the assessed Decision Making Unit (DMU) in the best light in comparison to all the other DMUs. These sets of weights are, typically, different for each of the participating DMUs. Thus, it is important to find a Common Set of Weights (CSW) across the set of DMUs. In this pa...

Abstract Nowadays among many evaluation methods, data envelopment analysis has widely used to evaluate the relative performance of a set of Decision Making Units (DMUs). Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA(is a mathematical tool for evaluating the relative efficiency of a set Decision Making Units (DMUs), with multiple inputs and outputs. Traditional DEA models treat with each DMU as a “black box" t...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a wide range of mathematical models that used for measuring the relative efficiency of a set of harmonic units whit similar inputs and outputs. this model calculates some different weight for input and output variables in each decision making model. this variation in similar weights caused some critiques to this method. from 1991 some linear and nonlinear mode...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is one of the scientific method that computes the efficiency by using a powerful mathematics basic. data envelopment analysis is a non-parametric technique to evaluate the efficiency of a set of decision making units (dmu) with multi inputs and outputs . since dea’s models classifies decision making units into two categories of efficient and inefficient, so most ...

Today, one of the most fundamental issues within the field of industrial and nonindustrial activities is evaluate the costs performance of the units which are associated with industrial and nonindustrial activities. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric method for evaluating performance. Fuzzy sets theory is a powerful tool for mentioning ambiguous situations. Traditional DEA model...

data envelopment analysis (dea) with considering the best condition for each decision making unit (dmu) assesses the relative efficiency for it and divides a homogenous group of dmus in to two categories: efficient and inefficient, but traditional dea models can not rank efficient dmus. although some models were introduced for ranking efficient dmus, franklin lio & hsuan peng (2008), proposed a...
