文摘Data envelopment analysis(DEA) is a mathematical programming approach to appraise the relative efficiencies of peer decision-making unit(DMU),which is widely used in ranking DMUs.However,almost all DEA-related ranking approaches are based on the self-evaluation efficiencies.In other words,each DMU chooses the weights it prefers to most,so the resulted efficiencies are not suitable to be used as ranking criteria.Therefore this paper proposes a new approach to determine a bundle of common weights in DEA efficiency evaluation model by introducing a multi-objective integer programming.The paper also gives the solving process of this multi-objective integer programming,and the solution is proven a Pareto efficient solution.The solving process ensures that the obtained common weight bundle is acceptable by a great number of DMUs.Finally a numeral example is given to demonstrate the approach.
