dc.description.abstractSuperefficiency is an important extension of DEA that overcomes some limitations of the traditional models, specifically allowing ranking of efficient units and a unique set of weights for those units. Weights restriction is a well-known technique in the DEA field. When those techniques are applied, weights cluster around its new limits, making its evaluation dependent of its levels. This chapter introduces a new approach to weights adjustment by goal programming techniques, avoiding the imposition of hard restrictions that can even lead to unfeasibility. This method results in models that are more flexible.por
