Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming technique for identifying efficiency scores of decision making units (DMUs). The ability of identifying efficient frontier prior to the DEA calculation is of extreme importance to an effective and efficient DEA computation. In order to do this, in this paper we introduce a method for identifying efficient frontier and efficient DMUs.
