The continuous improvement of performance in organizations requires the continuous and purposeful evaluation of organizations. One of the most vital sectors that significantly affects the economic growth of countries is transportation; in this regard, performance assessment plays an important role in this sector. Therefore, a novel hybrid algorithm based on Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is proposed here to measure the efficiency of product transportation in road fleets of Iranian provinces. FAHP method is used to define the weights of input and output criteria, and the priority of criteria is implemented as a constraint in a DEA model. The efficiency of each province in this domain will be determined by means of the proposed DEA model. The results obtained from the application of the proposed approach to Iran Road Maintenance & Transportation Organization vindicated the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
