We propose a multi-criteria model to measure the relative levels of efficiency for a set of alternatives. Measurement is achieved by a single price system. This involves a marked difference between Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the model herein. Neither the assumptions of the proposed model nor its mathematical solution are related to DEA. In contrast to DEA, the model allows for selecting a single efficiency optimum.
