Abstract
In today’s economy and society, performance analyses in the services industries attract more and more attention. The
traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach requires a consistent operating environment. However, in reality,
there is a need to evaluate the units belonging to different environment. This reality challenges the traditional methods of
applying DEA theory to real-world cases where benchmarking across region can be a very important undertaking. This
paper introduces the fuzzy logic into DEA formulation to deal with the environmental variables so that the performance
of bank branches from different regions can be assessed. The inner-province and inter-province comparison are given based
on the fuzzy DEA results. These results are also compared with the results from traditional DEA analysis.
