In recent years there has been an exponential growth in the number of publications related
to theory and applications of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Charnes, Cooper, and …

Supplier evaluation and selection is an important group decision making problem that
involves not only quantitative criteria but also qualitative factors incorporating vagueness …

This paper deals with inverse DEA from both theoretical and applied viewpoints. First, some
methodological approaches and theoretical results are outlined; and then an application of …

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been a very popular method for measuring and
benchmarking relative efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs) with multiple input …

In a Data Envelopment Analysis model, some of the weights used to compute the efficiency
of a unit can have zero or negligible value despite of the importance of the corresponding …

We consider the problem of evaluating the performance of a set of heterogeneous units. The
heterogeneity may originate from environmental conditions or the unit itself. We propose a …

It will be shown in this paper that the input oriented DEA BCC model can generate negative
efficiencies that are usually hidden in the model. The impact of these negative efficiencies …

In this paper, we utilize Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), which is a linear programming-
based technique, for evaluating the performance of the teams which operate in the Iranian …

Abstract United Nations Development Program presented the Human Development Index
for ranking the countries with regard to three dimensions, namely being knowledgeable, a …

This paper provides computationally efficient approaches for determining to which returns to
scale (RTS) class a unit belongs in weight-restricted Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) …
