Hybrid cross-efficiency approach based on Ideal and Anti-Ideal points and the CRITIC method for ranking decision-making units: A case study on ranking the methods of rice weevil disinfestation

Abstract

A new approach is applied in the process of measuring the efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs) through the cross-efficiency evaluation method. Ideal and Anti-Ideal models are generated to form a comprehensive method based on the cross-efficiency evaluation method. The two models are formulated and combined to the Data Envelopment Analysis using the CRITIC method. In a comparative analysis based on three numerical examples, the proposed approach can lead to achieving a more reliable result than one based on an individual method.
