Fuzzy AHP/DEA approach for relative efficiency of state university in Turkey

This paper aims at integrating fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate relative efficiencies of 69 state universities in Turkey. Since most similar evaluations are multi-objection problems, which both FAHP and DEA are capable of solving, the integration of these two approaches will be shown to be even more powerful. The proposed integrated FAHP/DEA model can evaluate and rank different alternatives. On the first stage, we apply FAHP for determine weights of criterias. On the second stage, we rank alternatives by DEA of universities. A practical case study demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
