Abstract
Resource allocation and optimal leveling are among the top challenges in project management.
This paper presents a DEA-based procedure for determining an optimal level of inputs to
produce a fixed level of outputs. To achieve this goal, we assume that the levels
of outputs can be forecasted in the next season and the procedure will determine
optimal level of inputs for all DMUs. Such as some of them can only take integer
values. So, after this design for the value of inputs and outputs all DMUs are
placed on the optimal level. An illustrative example is used to show the
applicability of the proposed method.
