Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used as a tool for technical efficiency evaluation of decision making units. These units are compared with each other. The comparison is based on the size of inputs and outputs. In case of an inefficient unit, there is a possible of ordaining necessary changes...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used as a tool for technical efficiency evaluation of decision- making units. The units are compared with each other, which means to compare inputs, outputs and evaluate their efficiency. In case of non-efficiency unit, we can ordain necessary changes for...
