In this paper, we consider the problem of demanding fixed aggregated output from producers for an equitable allocating of new input. In many applications, there is often a fixed input and output which are imposed on all decision making units. In such situations, the choice of an allocation pattern often seems to be rather subjective. This paper, presents a method for obtaining an equitable allocation and demand of these new input and output which is based on two principles: invariance and Pareto-minimality.
