F. Rajabi; S.E. Najafi; M. Hajiaghaei-Keshteli; S. Molla-Alizadeh-Zavardehi

Volume 2, Issue 3 , September 2013, , Pages 24-34

Abstract
  In the present paper the step fixed charge transportation problem under uncertainty, particularly when variable and fixed cost are given in fuzzy forms, is formulated. In order to solve the problem, two metaheuristic, simulated annealing algorithm (SA) and variable neighborhood search (VNS), are developed ...  Read More

Performance Evaluation Function for Benchmarking Process Using Context-Dependent Data Envelopment Analysis

H. Bagherzadeh Valami; S.E. Najafi; B. Farajollahzadeh

Volume 1, Issue 1 , June 2012, , Pages 19-28

Abstract
  Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a methodology for identifying efficient frontier of decision making units (DMUs) with multiple outputs and inputs. Context-dependent DEA refers to a DEA approach where a set of DMUs are evaluated against a particular evaluation context. Each evaluation context represents ...  Read More
