Popis: Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for supplier selection. Weight restrictions allow for the integration of managerial preferences in terms of relative importance levels of various inputs and outputs. In some situations there are some factors which play both input and output roles as well. The purpose of this research is to propose a method for selecting the best suppliers in the presence of weight restrictions and dual-role factors. This study shows the supplier selection process through a DEA model, while allowing for the incorporation of decision makers preferences and considers multiple factors which simultaneously play both input and output roles. The proposed model does not demand exact weights from the decision maker. This study presents a robust model to solve the multiple-criteria problem. A numerical example certifies the application of the proposed method.
