Practical common weights for technology selection: Maximin and Scalarizing function approach

To select the best technologies two practical common weight Maximin and scalarizing function approaches are introduced. Both proposed approaches enable the evaluation of the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) with respect to multiple outputs and a single exact input by 111can8 of common weights.Their robustness and discriminating power are illustrated via a previously reported robot evaluation problem by comparing the ranking obtained by the proposed approaches with that obtained by a DEA classical model.
