Abstract. The analysis of e ciency is conducted for two vital purposes: rstly, in order to evaluate the current level of e ciency; secondly, to provide information on how to improve the level of e ciency, which is to provide benchmarking information. The ine cient Decision Making Units (DMUs) are usually able to improve their performance, and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) projections provide a prescription for improvement. However, sometimes, an ine cient DMU cannot move its performance toward the best practice by either decreasing its inputs or increasing its outputs. On the other hand, it can scarcely reach its e cient benchmark. This research suggests a method to nd an improved region of e ciency through DEA-e cient hyperplanes by providing an algorithm for detecting an improved e ciency path. In addition to the production of reasonable benchmarking information, the proposed algorithm provides the general requirements that satisfy the demands which every professional decision-maker should meet. Finally, we provide a more detailed description of some new issues, extending the insights from this analysis of the benchmark region from the under-evaluated ine cient DMU. Finally, numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the results of the analysis.
