The outputs estimation of a DMU according to improvement of its efficiency

摘要

This paper develops the presented method by Yan et al. [Eur. J. Operat. Res. 136 (2002) 19]. In this paper, by using inverse data envelopment analysis model, a method to estimate output levels of a decision making unit is presented when some or all of its input entities are increased and its current efficiency level is improved.
