“…Saati and Memariani [33] proposed a technique for finding a common set of weights in fuzzy DEA based on the -level approach with triangular fuzzy data. Liu [34] suggested a fuzzy DEA procedure to obtain the efficiency measures embedded with assurance region (AR) concept when some observations were triangular fuzzy numbers. He combined the  -level approach and the extension principle to transform the fuzzy DEA/AR model into a pair of parametric mathematical programs and worked out the lower and upper bounds of the efficiency scores of the DMUs.…”

The banking sector is of great importance to Tunisian's economy. Major commercial banks continue to spend high proportion of their budgets on new technologies and innovation in order to satisfy their customers and enhance their competitiveness. Consequently, performance analysis has become part of their management practices.This paper aims to evaluate the efficiency of commercial Tunisian banks in terms of several crisp and imprecise data. Two approaches of fuzzy data envelopment analysis (FDEA), the possibility approach and the approach based on relations between fuzzy numbers (BRONF), are used to obtain the efficiency score of each bank. The results show that, in a competitive environment, no-financial inputs and outputs should be taken into account in order to obtain credible and realistic efficiency scores.

“…In one of the most cited studies Ertay et al [214] integrate fuzzy DEA with AHP method for facility layout design which can handle both qualitative and quantitative data. In another study, Liu [215] develops a fuzzy DEA/AR method which can evaluate the performance of flexible manufacturing system alternatives where the input and output data can be fuzzy as well as crisp values. Wu [216] proposes an integrated technique using data envelopment analysis and fuzzy preference relations to rate decision alternatives.…”

Multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) refers to making decisions in the presence of multiple and usually conflicting criteria. Fuzzy decision-making is used where vague and incomplete data exist for the solution. Fuzzy multicriteria decision-making is one of the most popular problems handled by the researchers in the literature. In this paper, we survey the latest status of fuzzy multicriteria decision-making methods and classify these methods dividing into two parts: fuzzy multiattribute decision-making (MADM) and fuzzy multiobjective decision-making (MODM). Most of the publications are on fuzzy MADM since there are a plenty of classical multiattribute decision-making methods in the literature. Tabular and graphical illustrations for each method are given.

“…Under such circumstances, the fuzzy set theory can be incorporated into the DEA/AR model. Liu [14] developed a fuzzy DEA/AR method to evaluate the performance of flexible manufacturing system (FMS) alternatives when the input and output data contained crisp and fuzzy data. A pair of two-level mathematical programs was formulated to calculate the lower and upper bounds of the fuzzy efficiency score of the alternatives based on the extension principle [22].…”

“…The DEA ratio form, first proposed by Charnes et al [10], is designed to measure the DEA efficiency of a specific DMU k′ and can be expressed by [12][13][14]: [15] for linear fractional programming was utilized in the DEA study [10] to define an equivalent relation that partitioned the set of feasible solutions into equivalence classes. The transformed DEA model can be expressed as the following linear programming (LP) problem [12][13][14]:…”

Due to the increasing demand for electricity, the depletion of fossil fuels and the increase in environmental consciousness, generating power from renewable energy resources has become necessary. How to select the most appropriate site is a critical and foremost decision that must be made when setting up a renewable energy plant. This research proposes a two-stage framework for evaluating the suitability of renewable energy plant site alternatives. In the first stage, a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) is adopted to set the assurance region (AR) of the quantitative factors, and the AR is incorporated into data envelopment analysis (DEA) to assess the efficiencies of plant site candidates. A few sites are selected for further analysis. In the second stage, experts are invited to evaluate the qualitative characteristics of the selected sites, and FAHP is used to calculate the priorities of these sites. Solar energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources, because of its abundance, inexhaustibility, safety and cleanliness. Based on the proposed integrated decision-making model, a case study for selecting the most appropriate photovoltaic (PV) solar plant site is examined. OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 13523
