        One of the problems with using the DEA is the lack of resolution for decision makers. The performance limit obtained by the DEA is also sensitive to statistical perturbations and outliers caused by measurement error or any other external factor, causing the efficiency limit to be shifted and diverting the DEA analysis path. The DEA can also hardly predict the performance of decision-making units in the future. Therefore, artificial neural networks are a good tool to use in such issues because the nature of ANN performance is due to its learning power and generalizability in a way that is more resistant to outliers and perturbations resulting from inaccurate data measurement and can As a useful tool for managers to predict and observe the behavior of their system in the organization in the future. Also, in order to implement the theoretical findings from practical research, 27 district units of Fars Regional Water Company to increase the volume Groundwater was evaluated. Initially, the input-driven CCR model and the Anderson-Peterson (AP) method were used to rank the units in the DEA model, and then the ANN approach was used to evaluate the performance of the units using the hybrid models (DEA - Neuro). The results of the computational efficiency analysis of the units using this model demonstrate the high power of the network in computing and resolving the performance. پرونده مقاله

        Sorena Jafarigorzin Iraj Asadi Talooki
        The Malmquist Index is the prominent Index for measuring the productivity change of Decision Making Units (DMUs) in multiple time periods that use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models with Variable Return to Scale (VRS) and Constant Return to Scale (CRS) technology. O چکیده کامل
        The Malmquist Index is the prominent Index for measuring the productivity change of Decision Making Units (DMUs) in multiple time periods that use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models with Variable Return to Scale (VRS) and Constant Return to Scale (CRS) technology. One of the drawbacks of DEA is the problem of lack of discrimination among efficient DMUs and hence yielding many numbers of DMUs as efficient. The main purpose of this paper is to overcome this inability. In this paper, we compute the Malmquist Index based on means of weights evaluation, and by using this method we can rank DMUs by logical criteria. For illustration numerical example is given. پرونده مقاله

        Sahar Khoshfetrat Mojtaba Ghiyasi
        Inverse DEA (InvDEA) models put one step forward, in contrast with the DEA models by estimating required input level for producing a perturbed output level with the current efficiency status. In many real world applications, decision-makers face non-discretionary factor چکیده کامل
        Inverse DEA (InvDEA) models put one step forward, in contrast with the DEA models by estimating required input level for producing a perturbed output level with the current efficiency status. In many real world applications, decision-makers face non-discretionary factors which can be hardly controlled by the Decision Making Units (DMUs). However, these types of factor are not dealt in the inverse DEA problems. Thus, the current covers the research methodological gap of the literature by developing mathematical foundation of the InDEA models capable of dealing with non-discretionary factors. To do this end, an MOLP model along with its required constraints is developed to be linked with the developed models. A numerical example and a real-world case study are provided to illustrate the proposed models and demonstrate their applicability and validity for the real world problems. پرونده مقاله

        This paper aims at examining congestion in two-stage decision making units. Providing an example, it will be proved that presence or absence of congestion in the whole process of a two-stage decision making unit has nothing to do with presence or absence of it in each of stages. In other words, it is likely that the first stage to be weak efficient and the second one will have congestion, while the whole process lacks congestion. It is also possible that each stage has congestion, but it doesn’t mean that the whole process should have congestion. Then, to identify congestion in two-stage decision making units, modified Cooper model is developed. پرونده مقاله

        Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is an approach for evaluating performances of Decision Making Units (DMUs). The performances of DMUs are affected by the amount of sources that DMUs used. Usually increases in inputs cause increases in outputs. However, there are situations where increases in one or more inputs generate a reduction in one or more outputs. In such situations there is congestion in inputs or production process. In this study, we review two approaches that are available in the DEA literature for evaluating congestion. Afterwards, we focus on output losses due to congestion, and a model is introduced to compute output reduction. Then, the mentioned models are applied on an empirical example and the results are presented and interpreted. پرونده مقاله

        In this paper, a new revenue efficiency data envelopment analysis (RE-DEA) approach is considered for finding the most revenue efficient unit with price uncertainty in both optimistic and pessimistic perspectives. The optimistic and pessimistic perspectives use efficient frontier and inefficient frontier, respectively. An integrated model is introduced to find decision making units (DMUs) that can be a candidate for most revenue efficient unit, in both optimistic and pessimistic points. Consequently, the revenue efficiency of all DMUs is calculated with by solving one model. Then a mix integer programming (MIP) model is proposed for finding the most revenue efficient DMU with common set of weights. The proposed model ensures that just one unit has been revenue efficiency. To illustrate the applicability of the new approach, the model is utilized for data from 21 medical centers in Taiwan. پرونده مقاله

        Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is an efficient method to perform evaluation of units. In DEA we try to evaluate units with undesirable factors in input & outputs by satisfaction function, testing some models. On the other hand benefiting this concept, we can identify non-efficient units. Also we can recognize why these units are inefficient and calculate the reason of their inefficiency and how they turn efficient. In DEA we cannot know why some units are non -efficient and how these units can be efficient, but by this paper we can do this work. پرونده مقاله

        Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is non-parametric linear programming (LP) based technique for estimating the relative efficiency of different decision making units (DMUs) assessing the homogeneous type of multiple-inputs and multiple-outputs. The procedure does not require a priori knowledge of weights, while the main concern of this non-parametric technique is to estimate the optimal weights of inputs and outputs through which the proper classifications of DMUs are possible. DMUs classification with DEA has many challenges in the case of volatility in the values of inputs and outputs. Sensitivity classifications (either efficient or inefficient) as well as returns to scale (RTS) classification (CRS, IRS and DRS) of DMUs are the prominent and vital challenges in DEA studies. Flexible and feasible convex regions with changing values of the reference units from the reference set of inefficient DMUs. This paper has proposed the issues of sensitivities regarding the above mentioned classifications of DMUs and assessing the technical efficiencies by using SBM case of DEA models. Super-efficiency is estimated in case of input and output slacks approach measure and ranking was mad as per the super-efficiency score. Validity of the proposed model is carried with the suitable numerical illustration. پرونده مقاله

        Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a common technique in measuring the relative efficiency of a set of decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. ‎‎Standard DEA models are ‎‎quite limited models‎, ‎in the sense that they do not consider a DMU ‎‎at different times‎. ‎To resolve this problem‎, ‎DEA models with dynamic ‎‎structures have been proposed‎.‎In a recent paper by afarian-Moghaddam and Ghoseiri [Jafarian-Moghaddam, A.R., Ghoseiri k., 2011. Fuzzy dynamic multi-objective Data Envelopment Analysis model. Expert Systems with Applications, 38 (1), 850-855.] they contribute to an interesting topic by presenting a ‎‎fuzzy dynamic multi-objective DEA model to evaluate DMUs in which ‎‎data are changing with time‎. However, this paper finds that their approach has some problems in the proposed models. In this paper, we first stress the present shortcomings in their modeling and then we propose a new DEA method for improving fuzzy dynamic multi-objective DEA model. The proposed model is a ‎‎multi-objective non-linear programming (MONLP) problem and there are ‎‎several methods for solving it; We use the goal programming (GP) method‎. ‎The proposed model calculates the efficiency scores of DMUs by‎‎ solving only one linear programming problem‎. ‎Finally‎, ‎we present an ‎‎example with ten DMUs at three times to illustrate the applicability the proposed model. پرونده مقاله

        Since data envelopment analysis (DEA) introduced in 1970s, it has been widely applied to measure the efficiency of a wide variety of production and operation systems. Recently DEA has been extended to examine the efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) with two-stage network structures or processes, where the outputs from the first stage are intermediate measures that make up the inputs of the second stage. Many researchers developed several DEA based models for evaluating the efficiencies of such systems. This paper considers evaluation of the general two-stage network structures, while each stage may produce undesirable output, in addition to desirable ones. The developed model is applied to Green Hen poultry chain in Guilan province, Iran. پرونده مقاله

        ‎The purpose of this paper is to offer the equitable method for ranking Decision Making Units(DMUs) based on the Dynamic Data Envelopment Analysis (DDEA) concept, where quasi-fixed inputs or intermediate products are the source of inter-temporal dependence between consecutive periods. In fact, this paper originally makes the use of an approach extending the ranking of DMUs in DEA by Khodabakhshi and Aryavash into the Dynamic DEA framework. Hence, firstly, we compute minimum and maximum efficiency values of each DMUs in dynamic state, under the assumption that the sum of efficiency values of all DMUs in dynamic state is equal to unity. Thus, with the combination of its minimum and maximum efficiency values, the rank of each DMUs is ‎determined.‎ پرونده مقاله

This question answered according to the concept of inverse DEA. Sufficient conditions are established for input/output-estimation of the merged DMU using multiple-objective programming problems. A numerical example with real data is presented to illustrate the goals of this paper. پرونده مقاله

        25 - Ideal and anti-ideal decision making units: A fuzzy DEA approach
        A Hatami-Marbini Saber Saati A Makui
        In this paper, by introducing two virtual decision-making units (DMUs) called ideal DMU (IDMU) and anti-ideal DMU (ADMU) with fuzzy inputs-outputs, the efficiency evaluation of DMUs are done by fuzzy data envelopment analysis (FDEA). Therefore, we evaluate DMUs from the چکیده کامل
        In this paper, by introducing two virtual decision-making units (DMUs) called ideal DMU (IDMU) and anti-ideal DMU (ADMU) with fuzzy inputs-outputs, the efficiency evaluation of DMUs are done by fuzzy data envelopment analysis (FDEA). Therefore, we evaluate DMUs from the perspective of the best and worst possible relative efficiency. For each DMU two efficiencies are calculated while inputs and outputs are fuzzy. These two distinctive efficiencies are combined with the closeness coefficient (CC) index. The CC index is then used for an overall ranking of all DMUs. Finally, we compare the result of proposed fuzzy DEA model with León et al.’s (2003) results by representing a numerical example. پرونده مقاله

        This paper proposes a new approach for determining efficient DMUs in DEA models using inverse optimi-zation and without solving any LPs. It is shown that how a two-phase algorithm can be applied to detect effi-cient DMUs. It is important to compare computational performance of solving the simultaneous linear equa-tions with that of the LP, when computational issues and complexity analysis are at focus. پرونده مقاله

        One of the issues in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is sensitivity and stability region of the speci c decision making unit (DMU), included ecient and inecient DMUs. In sensitivity analysis of ecient DMUs,the largest region should be found namely stability region thatdata variations are only for ecient DMU under evaluation and the data for the remainingDMUs are assumed xed. Also ecient DMU under evaluation remains ecient with thesevariations. In sensitivity analysis of inecient DMU, it can obtain an eciency score whichis de ned by the manager. In traditional DEA we assume that all inputs and outputs are realamounts and consider continuous inputs and outputs. Although,there are some applicationsin which one or more inputs and/or outputs can only take integer quantities. In this paper,we obtain the stability region for ecient DMU and the eciency score of a speci c inecientDMU changes to a de ned eciency score by management, with integer data پرونده مقاله
