A full ranking methodology in data envelopment analysis based on a set of dummy decision making units

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a full ranking methodology in DEA based on five dummy DMUs.

• The core of our approach is a new linear program.

• We produce common weights for full ranking of the DMUs

• Three literature examples have been tested and examined.

• The new method produces a rationale ranking compared with literature methods.
