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 main purpose of this paper ...

In our previous study, focusing on a ranking determination, we developed two ranking models. The foundation of these ranking models is derived from either one of the two ranking methods, denoted by Ranking (I) and Ranking (II), that were proposed in our previous papers. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the mathematical structure in the process of generating Ranking (I) and Ranking (II) i...

Covering models have found many applications in a wide variety of real-world problems; nevertheless, some assumptions of covering models are not realistic enough. Accordingly, a general approach would not be able to answer the needs of encountering varied aspects of real-world considerations. Assumptions like the unavailability of servers, uncertainty, and evaluating more factors at the same ti...

in this paper, presenting two simple methods for ranking of efficient dmus in dea models that included to add one virtual dmu as ideal dmu and is using the additive model. note that, we use an ideal point just for comparing efficient dmus with. although these methods are simple, they have ability for ranking all efficient dmus, extreme points and the others, also they are capable of ranking the...
