Abstract
This paper suggests new data envelopment analysis (DEA) models for input and output scaling in advanced manufacturing technology (AMT). For a given group of AMT observations using the traditional DEA models, it is not possible to evaluate the units when a specified input (or specified output) is required to be scaled for all units. The paper provides theoretical results for obtaining the relationship between the original AMT observations and the corresponding scaled data. Also, the paper uses numerical illustrations to show the usefulness of the suggested contribution.
