- Abstract
Typically in DEA, all the DEA parameters are considered as crisp values. However, in the physical world, input-output data can be imprecise or vague. This type of imprecise data can be represented pleasantly by fuzzy numbers. Researchers used input-output data as fuzzy values in fuzzy DEA (FDEA) models, whereas weights (decision variables) associated with these input-output data were crisp. However, in the physical world, weights can also take the form of fuzzy numbers. To overcome this shortcoming of FDEA models, fully fuzzified DEA (FFDEA) models are introduced where all input-output data and weights are considered fuzzy values. We extended FDEA to FFDEA in which all variables along with input-output data are fuzzy numbers, in particular, triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs). With the help of the α - cut approach, we developed left and right-hand efficiency models for measuring the relative performance of each DMU and rank them according to their efficiencies. Finally, the developed FFDEA model is compared with existing approaches with the help of an example; and a real-life application of developed FFDEA model in the education sector is presented.
