-Need of robust multi criteria decision making techniques are becoming essential in day today life for decision makers to make appropriate decisions. This paper attempts to explore robustness through rank reversal properties of the Data Envelopment Analytic Hierarchy Process (DEAHP) in decision making. DEAHP uses the principles of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to generate the local weights of...

‎‎in the data envelopment analysis (dea) the efficiency of the units‎ ‎can be obtained by identifying the degree of the importance of the‎ ‎criteria (inputs-outputs).in dea basic models‎, ‎challenges are zero‎ ‎and unequal weights of the criteria when decision‎- ‎making units are‎ ‎evaluated‎. ‎one of the strategies applied to deal with these problems‎ ‎is using common weights of the each input...

in the process of production, some of the inputs are fixed and cannot easily be changed, such as work hours of workers and hours of administrative or work, these types of inputs are fixed and others are variables. in this paper, by considering some inputs or outputs which are limited, their amounts must be integrated; this concept for integer data is extended. we show the importance of subject ...

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...

introduction: iran's social security organization provides hospital services through direct treatment system (hospitals owned by the organization) and indirect treatment system (purchasing of hospital services and other health care services from other providers). the current research aims to assess technical performance and determine the relationship between activity size and efficiency level o...

as regards of supper efficiency models which increased thediscrimination power of the standard dea models, still infeasibility mayoccure. in literature there exists some models overcome this difficulty.in this paper a new procedure has been mooted in order to remove thisshortcoming in a way that both input savings and output surplus arebeing considered. this procedure deals with nonradial chang...

performance evaluation has been developed in the form of management schools along by managerial thought development. banks and financial institutes are one of the most important economic sections to each country which by receipts and payments directing and organizing facilitate business and commercial transactions and develop markets and economic growth and as the main pillars in directing and ...

In this paper, we re-examine Data Envelopment Analysis models from perspectives of preference order, production set and performance measure. we investigate the relationship between Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Multiple Criteria Decision Making Theory. There are three key building blocks in a DEA model: preference order, production possibility set and performance measure. It is shown in t...
