Abstract
This research develops a methodology for the performance evaluation of different organizations like the selection of suppliers or the comparison of competitive companies. It can also provide the improvement directions for the organization under evaluation. The methodology is based on the CCR model of the Data envelopment analysis (DEA) method and the concept of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The proposed method reserves the objectivity of DEA, and can be applied to more real-world problems than the original DEA model does. A case study for the supplier evaluation problem of a backlight company is used to verify the applicability of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method can overcome the evaluation problem of a small number of candidates under consideration, which is not applicable with the original DEA method.
