Abstract

Due to the increasing complexity of the world, the decision making process for decision-makers has been many complexities and one of the factors that its measurement for organizations is of tremendous importance is the measurement of the organizational efficiency, because through which they can decide their status towards the future process and to create a relative advantage. One of the methods used to assess productivity is data envelopment analysis, which in this technique is also a different method for assessing the efficiency that each has a certain logic and creates different results that make the decision process difficult. For this purpose, in this study, we will provide a method for combining various methods of data envelopment analysis, and in order to evaluate the efficiency of the decision-making units by using Shannon entropy method and linear allocation to combine the results.
