✦ Synopsis

Due to its wide practical use, data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been adapted to many fields to deal with problems that have occurred in practice. One adaptation has been in the field of ranking decision-making units (DMUs). Most methods of ranking DMUs assume that all input and output data are exactly known, but in real life the data cannot be precisely measured. Thus this paper will carry out some researches to DEA under fuzzy environment. A fuzzy comparison of fuzzy variables is defined and the CCR model is extended to be a fuzzy DEA model based on credibility measure. In order to rank all the DMUs, a full ranking method will be given. Since the ranking method involves a fuzzy function, a fuzzy simulation is designed and embedded into the genetic algorithm to establish a hybrid intelligent algorithm. However, it is shown to be possible to avoid some of the need for dealing with these nonlinear problems by identifying conditions under which they can be replaced by linear problems. Finally we will provide a numerical example to illustrate the fuzzy DEA model and the ranking method.

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a very effective method to evaluate the relative efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs). Since the data of production processes cannot be precisely measured in some cases, the uncertain theory has played an important role in DEA. This paper attempts to extend t

Selecting the best alternative in a group decision making is a subject of many recent studies. The most popular method proposed for ranking the alternatives is based on the distance of each alternative to the ideal alternative. The ideal alternative may never exist; hence the ranking results are bia

Many ranking methods have been proposed so far. However, there is yet no method that can always give a satisfactory solution to every situation; some are counterintuitive, not discriminating; some use only the local information of fuzzy values; some produce different rankings for the same situation.
