  • 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.
