This paper extends the DEA model to considering the decision-making unit (DMU) with the network structure. We define the network DMU and its network DEA efficiency based on the postulate system. On the series structure of the DMU, we further discuss a sequential optimization model originally...

Most of evaluation methods on large number of candidates are based a single criterion. To bring the multiple attribute evaluation method Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) into evaluating large number of elements, it needs to set up the performance standards and an evaluation procedure by the DEA...
