Uncertain Network Data Envelopment Analysis with Parallel Structure and Imprecisely Inputs and Outputs (Case Study: Social Security Organization)

Objective: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is an effective method for evaluating therelative efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs). The classical approach considerseach organizational unit as a black box and limits evaluation to primary inputs and finaloutputs and neglects internal processes. T...
