Conclusions
This chapter has examined MCDM problems in the context of DEA. A multicriteria composite index model is presented which can accommodate both qualitative and quantitative data. Various example problem settings are given. The chapter also extends the methodology to handle situations where some alternatives may be evaluated only in terms of a proper subset of the full set of criteria. The proposed approach is based on examining performance of an alternative relative to an ideal status for that alternative.
