Sažetak

Few inverse data envelopment analysis (DEA) models have incorporated non-discretionary measures based on radial efficiency values. However, the efficiency may be miscounted in radial approaches when some non-zero slacks appear. Furthermore, there is scant research on inverse DEA to estimate performance measures in the restaurant industry. Accordingly, this research proposes models based on non-radial DEA to analyze the efficiency and output changes of some Iranian restaurants while also presenting non-discretionary measures. Actually, in the company of non-discretionary factors, a non-radial DEA approach and its inverse problem are introduced to assess the performance and estimate the outputs for the modifications of inputs, respectively, while the inefficiency levels are maintained (and when they are preserved or decreased). The inefficiency of each discretionary input and output is specified using the presented non-radial DEA approach, and output targets are determined through inverse non-radial DEA with non-discretionary inputs. The results show containing non-discretionary data leads to more rational determinations through non-radial DEA-founded problems. This research presents analytic insights into the resources of inefficiency and output targets of entities with non-discretionary data, such as restaurants.
