Abstract :
There exist several approaches for deriving a common set of weights in data envelopment analysis (DEA) literature. However, most of these approaches are based on complicated models. In this paper, a new practical approach is proposed to provide a common set of weights. The results of the new approach are compared with some of the existing models through several numerical examples.
