The Comparison of Kam and Additive Model on The Problems That Target Intervals are Already Determined

Abstract

After running Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) on models, efficiency scores were
determined. In addition, DEA models give us target scores too. However; sometimes the target
scores are not in the intervals which are determined before, so obtained results will not be
realistic. If desired constraints add in DEA normal models, ideal results cannot be obtained. For
solving the problem, Kourosh and Arash Method (KAM) has been utilized. For creation of new
model, the properties of KAM have been considered. In order to reach the thesis goal, suggested
constraints were added to KAM mathematically and behavior of the other input and output
changes are examined. For the analysis of large scale problems KAM model was developed in
EXCEL Solver software. Results are compared with additive model and shows that KAM model
gives better results.
