DEA Models via Goal Programming

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Multiple Criteria Decision Making Theory. We re-examine DEA models from a goal programming perspective. It has been shown in this work that many known DEA models and new ones, can be derived via this approach.
