A Two Level DEA in Project Based Organizations

This paper presents a systematic approach for evaluating the performance of a project based organization. We applied a two level fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique in project based organizations. In order to determine the required inputs and outputs, important indicators have selected using both expert judgments and statistical analysis. Then the two-level DEA model is successfully adapted. In this model by considering the outputs through a hierarchical process, a large number of sub indicators have provided and then rolled up to the higher level. Since the exact amount cannot be attributed to the indicators and they includes interval of values during the project life cycle, the interval DEA model will be discussed as a model help to determine the most preferred solution. At the end, some of the projects have been successfully evaluated throughout the approach proposed in this paper.
