Multicriteria approaches for ranking of efficient units in DEA models

Data envelopment analysis models usually split decision making units into two basic groups, efficient and inefficient. Efficiency score of inefficient units allows their ranking but efficient units cannot be ranked directly because of their maximum efficiency. That is why there are formulated several models for ranking of efficient units. The paper presents two original models for ranking of efficient units in data envelopment analysis—they are based on multiple criteria decision making techniques—goal programming and analytic hierarchy process. The first model uses goal programming methodology and minimizes either the sum of undesirable deviations or maximal undesirable deviation from the efficient frontier. The second approach is analytic hierarchy process model for ranking of efficient units. The two presented models are compared with several super-efficiency models and other approaches for ranking decision making units in DEA models including definitions based on distances from optimistic and pessimistic envelopes and cross efficiency evaluation models. The results of the analysis by all presented models are illustrated on a real data set—evaluation of 194 bank branches of one of the Czech commercial banks.     

Group performance evaluation, an application of data envelopment analysis

The contribution of this paper is to provide an approach for evaluating the performance of a group of decision making units (DMUs) based on the production technology. Group evaluation is an application of data envelopment analysis (DEA). DEA uses linear programming to provide a suitable technique to estimate a multiple-input/multiple-output empirical efficient function. This paper applies group evaluation to evaluate the performance of Iranian commercial banks.     

Selecting symmetric weights as a secondary goal in DEA cross-efficiency evaluation

In data envelopment analysis (DEA), the cross-efficiency evaluation method introduces a cross-efficiency matrix, in which the units are self and peer evaluated. A problem that possibly reduces the usefulness of the cross-efficiency evaluation method is that the cross-efficiency scores may not be unique due to the presence of alternate optima. So, it is recommended that secondary goals be introduced in cross-efficiency evaluation. In this paper we propose the symmetric weight assignment technique (SWAT) that does not affect feasibility and rewards decision making units (DMUs) that make a symmetric selection of weights. A numerical example is solved by our proposed method and its solution is compared with those of alternative approaches.

Ranking DMUs by using interval DEA cross efficiency matrix with acceptability analysis

Cross efficiency method is an extension of data envelopment analysis (DEA), and has been widely used for ranking performance of decision making units (DMUs). To eliminate the non-uniqueness of cross efficiency scores, the aggressive and benevolent strategies have been proposed as secondary goals to determine the unique cross efficiency score. The current paper aims to propose an alternative strategy which does not consider the preference of the decision maker in choosing aggressive or benevolent strategy. Instead, the paper considers all possible weight sets in weight space when computing the cross efficiency and each DMU is given an interval cross efficiency. By using the stochastic multicriteria acceptability analysis (SMAA-2) method, all DMUs in the interval cross efficiency matrix (CEM) could be fully ranked according to the acceptability indices. A numerical example about efficiency evaluation to seven academic departments in a university is illustrated.     

Efficiency ranking of decision making units in data envelopment analysis by using TOPSIS-DEA method

Data envelopment analysis methods classify the decision making units into two groups: efficient and inefficient ones. Therefore, the fully ranking all DMUs is demanded by most of the decision makers. However, data envelopment analysis and multiple criteria decision making units are developed independently and designed for different purposes. However, there are some applications in problem solving such as ranking, where these two methods are combined. Combination of multiple criteria decision making methods with data envelopment analysis is a new idea for elimination of disadvantages when applied independently. In this paper, first the new combined method is proposed named TOPSIS-DEA for ranking efficient units which not only includes the benefits of both data envelopment analysis and multiple criteria decision making methods, but also solves the issues that appear in former methods. Then properties and advantages of the suggested method are discussed and compared with super efficiency method, MAJ method, statistical-based model (CCA), statistical-based model (DR/DEA), cross-efficiency—aggressive, cross-efficiency—benevolent, Liang et al.’s model, through several illustrative examples. Finally, the proposed methods are validated.     

Qualitative factors in data envelopment analysis: A fuzzy number approach

Qualitative factors are difficult to mathematically manipulate when calculating the efficiency in data envelopment analysis (DEA). The existing methods of representing the qualitative data by ordinal variables and assigning values to obtain efficiency measures only superficially reflect the precedence relationship of the ordinal data. This paper treats the qualitative data as fuzzy numbers, and uses the DEA multipliers associated with the decision making units (DMUs) being evaluated to construct the membership functions. Based on Zadeh’s extension principle, a pair of two-level mathematical programs is formulated to calculate the α-cuts of the fuzzy efficiencies. Fuzzy efficiencies contain more information for making better decisions. A performance evaluation of the chemistry departments of 52 UK universities is used for illustration. Since the membership functions are constructed from the opinion of the DMUs being evaluated, the results are more representative and persuasive.     

Ranking decision making units by imposing a minimum weight restriction in the data envelopment analysis

It has been widely recognized that data envelopment analysis (DEA) lacks discrimination power to distinguish between DEA efficient units. This paper proposes a new methodology for ranking decision making units (DMUs). The new methodology ranks DMUs by imposing an appropriate minimum weight restriction on all inputs and outputs, which is decided by a decision maker (DM) or an assessor in terms of the solutions to a series of linear programming (LP) models that are specially constructed to determine a maximin weight for each DEA efficient unit. The DM can decide how many DMUs to be retained as DEA efficient in final efficiency ranking according to the requirement of real applications, which provides flexibility for DEA ranking. Three numerical examples are investigated using the proposed ranking methodology to illustrate its power in discriminating between DMUs, particularly DEA efficient units.     

Solving generalized fuzzy data envelopment analysis model: a parametric approach

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric technique to assess the performance of a set of homogeneous decision making units (DMUs) with common crisp inputs and outputs. Regarding the problems that are modelled out of the real world, the data cannot constantly be precise and sometimes they are vague or fluctuating. So in the modelling of such data, one of the best approaches is using the fuzzy numbers. Substituting the fuzzy numbers for the crisp numbers in DEA, the traditional DEA problem transforms into a fuzzy data envelopment analysis (FDEA) problem. Different methods have been suggested to compute the efficiency of DMUs in FDEA models so far but the most of them have limitations such as complexity in calculation, non-contribution of decision maker in decision making process, utilizable for a specific model of FDEA and using specific group of fuzzy numbers. In the present paper, to overcome the mentioned limitations, a new approach is proposed. In this approach, the generalized FDEA problem is transformed into a parametric programming, in which, parameter selection depends on the decision maker’s ideas. Two numerical examples are used to illustrate the approach and to compare it with some other approaches.     

Robustness of the efficient DMUs in data envelopment analysis

By means of modified versions of CCR model based on evaluation of a decision making unit (DMU) relative to a reference set grouped by all other DMUs, sensitivity analysis of the CCR model in data envelopment analysis (DEA) is studied in this paper. The methods for sensitivity analysis are linear programming problems whose optimal values yield particular regions of stability. Sufficient and necessary conditions for upward variations of inputs and for downward variations of outputs of an (extremely) efficient DMU which remains efficient are provided. The approach does not require calculation of the basic solutions and of the inverse of the corresponding optimal basis matrix. The approach is illustrated by two numerical examples.
