Algoritmo de alocação de recursos discretos com análise de envoltória de dados

The resource allocation is one of the main problems in Operational Research. The use of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in this field is a new feature with a great potential, mainly when combined with integer programming problems. This paper presents an algorithm to allocate integer resources using a step-by-step DEA algorithm. We applied the proposed approach to a real case study, which consists in allocating teacher positions in some departments of Universidade Federal Fluminense. We compare the results with those obtained by the official commission.
