“…To address the complexity and uncertainty of contractors, Karami et al [20] propose a new approach using the interval-valued fuzzy step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis and the interval-valued fuzzy combined compromise solution for contractor selection in construction projects. Rivero Gutiérrez et al [21] apply the ELmination Et Choice Translating REality (ELECTRE) approach for evaluating and selecting project contractors. In addition, Chen et al [6] propose a novel ELECTRE III-based approach capable of adequately considering the indetermination, imprecision, and uncertainty in the contractor evaluation and selection process.…”

Evaluating and selecting appropriate contractors is critical to the success of specific construction projects in the building industry. Existing approaches for addressing this problem are unsatisfactory due to the ignorance of the multi-dimensional nature of the evaluation process and inappropriate consideration of existent risks. This study presents a DEA game cross-efficiency model with loss aversion for evaluating and selecting specific contractors. The competitiveness of the evaluation process is modeled using game theory with respect to the adoption of the cross-efficiency model. The attitude of the decision maker toward risks is tackled with the use of loss aversion, which is a phenomenon formalized in prospect theory. As a result, the proposed approach can adequately screen available contractors through prequalification and adequately consider the attitude of the decision maker toward risks, leading to effective decisions being made. An example is presented to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed model in evaluating and selecting appropriate contractors for specific construction projects. The results show that the proposed model is effective and efficient in producing a unique solution for contractor selection through appropriate modeling of the multi-dimensional contractor selection process and adequate consideration of the competition between the contractors and the attitude of the decision maker toward risks in practical situations.

“…The objective of study [6] is to assist public transport managers in making informed decisions regarding the composition of their bus fleets, considering economic, environmental, and social factors from a sustainability standpoint. The paper examines data pertaining to the public bus system in Madrid, employing two analytical methods, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Elimination et Choice Translating Reality (ELECTRE) III, for a comparative analysis.…”

In the pursuit of sustainable urban development, the implementation of cleaner propulsion systems in public transportation emerges as a critical strategy to reduce urban pollution and emissions. This study focuses on the City of Niš, where conventional propulsion vehicles, predominantly buses, contribute significantly to environmental degradation. The necessity to adopt alternative propulsion systems is underscored by the myriad of limitations and uncertainties that accompany such a transition. To address this complexity, the criteria importance through intercriteria correlation (CRITIC) method was employed to derive weight coefficients, while the evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS) method was utilized to select optimal propulsion systems. These methodologies facilitated a comprehensive evaluation of alternatives, including buses, electric trolleybuses, and trams, for both city and suburban public transport. The integration of these multi-criteria decision-making techniques enabled a systematic analysis of each alternative against established criteria, thereby assisting in the identification of the most advantageous propulsion systems. This approach not only aids in making informed decisions that align with sustainability objectives but also contributes significantly to mitigating the environmental impact of urban transport. The findings from this study provide a foundational framework that supports decision-makers in the strategic implementation of environmentally sustainable transport solutions in urban settings.

“…Several authors integrate the use of DEA with MCDA methods (cf., e.g., Olanrewaju et al 2013;Shakouri et al 2014;Gouveia et al 2021;Wang and Dang 2021;Rivero Gutiérrez et al 2022;Antonio et al 2022) by exploiting their similarities in formulation (Stewart 1996). Hatefi and Torabi (2010), e.g., propose the construction of a CI through an MCDA-DEA approach in which the entities are evaluated through a series of common weights.…”

This document proposes an innovative composite indicator to measure and control the performance of production processes. The aim is to provide a tool for controlling the efficiency of the processes, assessed in relation to the number and the impact of occurring “errors”, which can take into account the opinion of experts in the specific domain. This allows for the definition of a more realistic and effective decision support system. Our composite indicator is based on an integrated approach based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), and a new multi-criteria method such as Parsimonious Analytical Hierarchy Process (PAHP). The results obtained on a real test case, based on the automotive production domain, show that the composite indicator built with PAHP-DEA allows us to have clear evidence of the efficiency level of each process and the overall impact of errors on all the processes under evaluation. From a methodological point of view, we have for the first time combined the new thrifty AHP with the DEA. From an application point of view, this work introduces a new tool capable of evaluating the efficiency of production processes in an extremely competitive sector, exploiting the knowledge of the experts in the domain of errors, internal processes and the dynamics that occur.
