An input relaxation model for evaluating congestion in fuzzy DEA

This paper develops a BCC input relaxation model for identifying input congestion as a severe form of inefficiency of decision-making units in fuzzy data envelopment analysis. The possibility approach is presented to obtain the models equivalent to fuzzy models. We use a one-model approach to determ...
