New method ranks efficient decision makers, revolutionizing group performance evaluations.
The article introduces a new method to rank efficient decision-making units (DMUs) in a group using data envelopment analysis (DEA). Traditional DEA helps identify efficient and inefficient DMUs, but doesn't provide detailed information about the efficient ones. The researchers developed a new index based on existing models to rank all efficient DMUs, both extreme and non-extreme. This method improves upon existing ranking techniques and enhances the DEA process.
