摘要
In a recent paper by Amin (Amin, Gholam R. (2009). Comment on finding the most efficient DMUs in DEA: An improved integrated model. Computers & Industrial Engineering, 56, 1701-1702), he proposed an improved approach to determine a single efficient DMU as the most (or the best) efficient DMU. It will be shown that this nonlinear mixed integer model may fail to produce a solution since it can be infeasible in some cases. In this paper, a linear mixed integer model is proposed which is feasible and can produce a single efficient DMU as well. The model can also be extended to rank all extreme efficient DMUs. Some properties and advantages of the model will be explained. The contents of the paper will be illustrated by some numerical examples including a real data set of nineteen facility layout alternatives. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
