Abstract :

Data envelopment analysis (DEA )has been extended to cross -efficiency evaluation for ranking decision making units (DEA) and eliminating unrealistic weighting schemes.Unfortunately,the nonunique optimal weights problem in DEA has reduced the usefulness of this extended method.Aiming at solving this problem,we first incorporate a target idenification model to get reachable targets for all the DMUs. Then, several secondary goal models are proposed for wights selection considering both desirable and undesirable cross-efficiency targets of all the DMUs. Compared with the traditional secondary goal models, the cross-efficiency targets are improved in that all targets are always reachable for the DMUs. In addition, the proposed models considered the DMUs, willingness to get close to their desirable cross-efficiency targets and to avoid their undesirable cross-efficiency targets simultaneously while the traditional secondary goal models considered only the ideal targets of the DMUs. Since usually some detailed data are available, and they have to figure range. In this paper we extend this model and secondary goals so that is able to calculate the cross efficiency of these conditions.
