The MoreAbstractBasic models of Data Envelopment Analysis intrinsically evaluate the decision making units with an optimistic point of view, in the sense that the efficiency status of each unit is evaluated by means of calculating its distance from the efficiency frontier. The efficiency frontier is in fact composed of all units indicating the best practice, in the sense that for each one there exist no other (virtual) unit with a better performance. A unit located on this frontier is called fully efficient and non-efficient, otherwise. In order to provide a more precise assessment, one can evaluate units with a pessimistic point of view, in the sense that a frontier consisting of the worst performance, called the in-efficient frontier is formed and then each unit is evaluated with respect to its distance from this frontier, in a way that the closer the unit to the in-efficient frontier, the more in-efficient it is. In this paper, assuming that the production technology is non-convex, we perform efficiency and in-efficiency evaluation and then, based on the optimal value of the corresponding (in-) efficiency model, we partition all units in two subsets called (in-)efficient and non- (in-)efficient units. Then we investigate the concept of stability of the obtained partitions, by means of presenting related multi objective programs. In the next step, assuming that the input and output data of all units are real intervals, we deal with the efficiency and in-efficiency analysis of units and partition them into three subsets, in each case.
