Title
Modeling undesirable factors in data envelopment analysis
Abstract
Data envelopment analysis is a mathematical programming technique for identifying efficient frontiers for peer decision making units with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. These performance factors (inputs and outputs) are classified into two groups: desirable and undesirable. Obviously, undesirable factors in production process should be reduced to improve the performance. In the current paper, we present a data envelopment analysis (DEA) model in which can be used to improve the relative performance via increasing undesirable inputs and decreasing undesirable outputs.
