Fuzzy non-radial measures of relative technical efficiency using DEA
… the technical efficiency of organizational units. In DEA, these units are referred to as decision making units (DMUs). Deterministic input and output data are assumed when using conventional DEA models. Based on Carlsson and Korhonen's [6] fuzzy parametric programming approach, Girod [15] …

Interval and fuzzy optimization. Applications to data envelopment analysis
… assessment of a set of peer entities termed Decision Making Units (DMUs) in many fields from industry to healthcare has led to the development of efficiency assessment models and tools. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is one of the most important methodologies to measure efficiency assessment …

A Complex Adaptive Systems Analysis of Productive Efficiency
… Analysis (DEA). Within a proposed framework DEA "decision-making units" (DMUs) are represented as agents in the agent-based modeling (ABM) paradigm. Guided by simple rules, agent DMUs representing business units of a larger management system, 'align' with one another to achieve mutual …

Heterogeneous Decision-Making in Socio-Technical Systems Methodologies for Efficiency Measurement and Decision Analysis with Mixed Data
… and outputs, implicitly assume homogeneity among decision-making units (DMUs) and precise, ratio-scaled data. These assumptions fall short when confronted with the realities of STSs, which are characterized by behavioral heterogeneity, contextual variability, mixed-scale and imprecise data, and …

Potential Uses of Data Envelopment Analysis for Big Data and Machine Learning Integration in Evaluation
… to measure the efficiency and productivity of decision-making units (DMUs), which can be used in both public and private sectors. This approach can enhance the decision-making process by utilizing new emerging data sources. DEA, after being introduced in the late 1970s, has been widely used in …

A new approach to performance measurement using data envelopment analysis: implications for organisation behaviour, corporate governance and supply chain management
… of CSR-related efficient performing business units. DEA is widely regarded as an effective modelling technique for the measurement of efficiencies in similar decision-making units (DMUs). The software, DEA Solver Pro 4.1, was applied to the ‘corporate social responsibility management capacity’ …
