Abstract
Cost efficiency (CE) assesses the ability to produce current output at minimal cost. There are some models which are introduced to measure cost efficiency with certain and uncertain input prices. Normally, by using data envelopment analysis (DEA) models, more than one cost efficient decision making units (DMUs) are recognized. The main contribution of this paper consists of development of a model which was proposed by Amin and Toloo (2007) to some models for finding the most cost efficient DMU in various situations of input prices. These models find the most cost efficient DMU by solving only one mixed integer linear programming (MILP) in each case.
