Abstract

In this paper we first propose a generalized model which in its special case revises a recently proposed model for finding most BCC-efficient DMU. Then, by explaining about the drawbacks of existing approaches, an algorithm will be developed to consider all possible alternative optimal solutions and determine the set of most efficient DMUs. Another model also will be proposed to provide more discrimination which can be used to select a single most efficient DMU, when it is desirable. The proposed approaches of this paper are applicable for all assumptions about returns-to-scale, and can be utilized to select a DMU or provide a full ranking of DMUs. The contents of the paper are illustrated through numerical examples.
