Ranking all units in data envelopment analysis. (English) Zbl 1260.90113

Summary: The motivation of this study is to propose an equitable method for ranking decision making units (DMUs) based on the data envelopment analysis (DEA) concept. For this purpose, first, the minimum and maximum efficiency values of each DMU are computed under the assumption that the sum of efficiency values of all DMUs is equal to unity. Then, the rank of each DMU is determined in proportion to a combination of its minimum and maximum efficiency values.
