Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs), where the internal structures of DMUs are treated as a black-box. Recently DEA has been extended to examine the efficiency of DMUs that have two-stage network structures or processes,...

In many managerial applications, situations frequently occur when a fixed cost is used in constructing the common platform of an organization, and needs to be shared by all related entities, or decision making units (DMUs). It is of vital importance to allocate such a cost across DMUs where...

Production in large organizations with a centralized decision-making environment like supermarket chains or factories with many workshops, usually involves the participation of more than one individual unit, each contributing a part of the total production. This study is motivated by a...

The slacks-based measure (SBM) of super-efficiency in data envelopment analysis (DEA) developed by Tone [Tone, K., 2002. A slacks-based measure of super-efficiency in data envelopment analysis. European Journal of Operational Research 143, 32-41] is a non-radial super-efficiency model compared...
