ملخص المقالة :
Recently, Farzipoor Saen [Journal of the Operational Research Society, 60(11), 15751582 (2009)] proposed a method based on data envelopment analysis to identify optimistic efficient suppliers in the presence of nondiscretionary factors-imprecise data. This short communication aims at showing a computational error in computing the value of preference intensity parameter in Farzipoor Saen’s [1] article. Then, a ranking method is used to identify the suppliers with the best performance.
